Supreme Court Rules and Bush Weeps

Damn it! We can't execute children any more in the United States. Well, at least Bush made hay while the sun shone and did his share of kid killing while he was governor of Texas. From the NY Times,

Although 19 states nominally permit the execution of juvenile murderers, only Texas, Virginia and Oklahoma have executed any in the past decade.

Don't feel bad, George. You had a pretty good run there executin' 'em an' all. It was this next bit that really upset El Presidente:

Until today, the United States and Somalia were the only nations that permitted putting teenage criminals to death.

You mean Somalia now stands alone? What a blow to our international status! Try and put a happy face on it, George; at least we still torture and imprison without charge or representation. That ought to give us some standing in the world, right?
