Porn For Noonan, JPod and The Mob

I was beginning to feel bad for Peggy and the others thirsting for the blood of a crazy man but just in the nick of time I found this:

The Ohio Department of Corrections said Joseph Clark, 57, was pronounced dead at 11:26 a.m. ET following an injection of lethal chemicals at the Southern Ohio Correctional Institution in Lucasville.

Spokeswoman Andrea Dean said the execution was delayed about 90 minutes because technicians had trouble initially finding a site in Clark's arm for the intravenous line carrying the chemicals.

Then shortly after the poisons were supposed to have been pumping into his body, she said, he sat up saying, "It's not working. It's not working."

Officials determined that a vein had collapsed. Curtains were closed to block witnesses' view until technicians found a vein in his other arm. They were then parted to reveal him dying, witnesses said.


See, we don't treat our death row inmates with complete mercy as we kill them--we let them feel the burn just a little bit. So that ought to hold the death watchers until their next circle jerk, though the prospect of killing Moussaoui would have been even more delicious. But why close the curtains? Must have something to so with making it more tantric.
