Rick Perry has executed 235 people so far as governor of Texas, so it's no surprise that he's set to kill at least one more person as a presidential candidate. Unlike the case of Cameron Todd Willingham, whose execution was carried out despite widespread doubts as to his guilt, Duane Edward Buck committed the murders he's been convicted of. But Mother Jones reports that Buck's sentence was obtained through questionable means.

Somewhere in Williamsburg I saw, out of the corner of my eye, an almost idyllic scene near a restaurant—flowers, cypress trees, a group of young people sitting in the bright sunshine of this splendid late summer day while the dark, thick plume of smoke was rising in the background. I got out of the car, shot three frames of the seemingly peaceful setting and drove on hastily, hoping/fearing to get closer to the unimaginable horrors at the tip of Manhattan.

Walter Sipser, identifying himself as the guy in shades at the right of the picture, said he and his girlfriend, apparently sunbathing on a wall, were in fact "in a profound state of shock and disbelief". Hoepker, they both complained, had photographed them without permission in a way that misrepresented their feelings and behaviour.

Christ, only that obtuse putz Frank Rich could think everything changed for 10 minutes and then changed back. In those 10 minutes our gutless Congress (except for Barbara Lee) handed our democracy over to the bush dictatorship, gave it carte blanche to destabilize the Middle East and bankrupt the United States, to name just 3 of hundreds of horrors. Nothing F Rich noticed changed, but to those of us who were and are paying attention, the damage was and is dire, irreversible, and tragic.
Sorry, Seth, this really hit a nerve.
I take it you are not a fan of Frank Rich! 🙂
