Same Thing Might Work For Senate Reform

A tough-on-crime Conservative senator said murderers should be provided with the tools to kill themselves in jail.

Abolition by attrition, as it were.

    God bless him.

  2. Yeah, "God bless him", because that loving prick is all about dishes that are best served cold.

    Spoken like a human being, but how about as a leader, or even someone who could directly influence policy? Does it solve anything? Is what he says wise? My take: no.

  6. A Senator made some off the cuff remarks tnat were completely understandable given what he endured. He wasn't making a serious policy proposal. I think we need to take a sober second look when some people seem more worked up about that comment than the number of rapes and murders committed by recidivist criminals.

    The hysterical blowback is making many people more, not less sympathetic to the Senator's sentiment.
