Great seeing these back again!

Interesting reading about the botched electric chair execution, especially with the recent botched lethal injection execution. When will people learn there is no "humane" way of executing someone? Sigh.

And the Palestinian/Israeli story. Can't say I follow any of this stuff but...20 years ago and has anything really changed with respect to Palestinian self rule?

Now that I know that people missed them, I'll try to do them more often, thank you!
