“Perfectly placed” needles, huh? That’s like saying MH17 had a fabulous in-flight movie.

There are people often found in positions of authority who are so arrogant, so convinced they could never do or be responsible for anything unfantastic, that they can’t acknowledge reality when something has obviously gone very wrong. They’re effectively mentally ill.

Parts of Arizona’s Botched Execution Went ‘Perfectly’

Particularly the part where the guy was pronounced dead.

A killer is dead. That’s pretty much what most people really care about.
The truth of the matter is they don’t care that it was humane or inhumane. The only thing that matters is the inmate “got what was coming to him”. If he died in pain, that is even better.

Particularly in Arizona. Why do you think Sheriff Joe is so popular here? Because people think he’s seen to be so tough on inmates, making them wear pink uniforms and eat green balogna.

I don’t think much will really change after this.

For blood-thirsty, primitive conservatives, the gasping and snorting torture parts were perfect.

An off-camera hotmike was said to confirm that Director Ryan commented “I came” when asked what his reaction was to the gasping and snorting.

If Sandy Hook changed nothing–except a rollback of gun regulations–than a string of botched executions certainly won’t. We reflect our entertainment, and our entertainment reflects us.

Sadly, too many Democrats are just as bad.

We were particularly good in our seating of the witnesses, and also in the formation marching towards the abattoir, er, torture chamber or whatever. Lockstep. Might I add the polish on the boots was of very high quality, and the brass was shiny-shiny. I don’t like to brag, but my hair was pretty close to perfect on that night as well. I may have to promote Sgt. Jones for that.

Yeah, except for the part about cruel and unusual punishment, but who’s counting?

Reminds me of the man who fell out of a forty-second floor window. He was heard to mutter as he passed the twentieth floor, “So far, so good.”

I take it you are anti-abortion?

This guy has a tremendous future in PR. One can think of hundreds of hot messes at the moment from Gaza to California groundwater politics, from Honduran children to banking regulation, where it would be wonderful to have some guy come in and just declare success.
