These are the sorts of people who deserve the death penalty. If there are any people who deserve it, these are them. I am still opposed to that form of “justice” on principle, but I would not shed a single tear for these monstrous little Hitlers who tortured a disabled pregnant woman to death, for weeks, and her corpse was found with thirty BB bullets and countless other inhumanities inflicted upon it. I typically avoid posting anything true-crimeish, but this is too evil to pass up without a single mention.

On a different note, the Democratic primary is nastifying with Hillary Clinton promising not to end her campaign until, at earliest, June 3rd. Clinton vowed to fight all the way to the convention if the Democratic Party does not do something about Florida and Michigan delegates. This won’t end well.

Now, to follow up on the post I made a few days ago about Zimbabwe’s election, Condi Rice has called Robert Mugabe a “disgrace” amidst mounting fears of election fraud in that country. I hope not, but it has been standard operating procedure there for a long time and there’s very little to stop that government. Not even their disgusting economic figures have stopped them before, and it is sometimes hard to believe that a government can survive such numbers as these:

INFLATION

In 1987 inflation averaged 11.9 percent. It surged to an official record of 100,586 percent in January 2008, but economic experts say the real rate is much higher.

LIFE EXPECTANCY

Average life expectancy dropped from 63 years in 1990 to 37.3 years in 2005, according to World Bank and U.N. figures.

HIV/AIDS

In 2007, Zimbabwe had an HIV prevalence of 15.6 percent among adults aged 15-49 years — the fourth-highest rate in the world. The United Nations Development Program says the epidemic causes the death of around 3,200 people per week. The population is 13 million.

I hope you aren’t faint of heart, Dear Reader, because those are disgusting, and I hope his loss of support from the public is validated and he loses every ounce of power he has.
