Absolutely rich, that is. Is your local newspaper online?

My thoughts exactly until this morning's newspaper, which contains a
message from the Vatican's "top official for justice issues,"
explaining that the execution amounts to an eye for an eye, which is
old hat or testament or something. Outdated anyway. Burning people at
the stake and hanging them by the neck go against the Catholic church's
veneration for the sanctity of life.
There was on the same page, a complete description of the hanging and
then, at the bottom of the page, succor in the form of an ad that wants
to look like a news story. Below all this stuff about exactly how the
thug's neck snapped comes the headline, "Avoid Costly Neck and Back
Surgery."
Well, yes. I believe he did.
