An Endorsement to Die For

"For those who oppose the death penalty and want to see it end, our best bet is to vote for Barack Obama because his supporters have been working behind the scenes to end this practice."

The above quote is part of the final address from Dale Leo Bishop before he was executed for murder yesterday in Mississippi. Predictably, the article describes Bishop as being mentally ill, but I would argue that anyone who holds down an acquaintance while allowing another friend strike the victim in the head 23 times with a hammer is quite obviously mentally ill.

So, yeah. A convicted criminal wants you to vote for Obie so as to end the carriage of justice.
