Happy Martin Luther King Day. I just got done reading an incredibly insightful article revealing the shocking revelation that blacks are more likely to celebrate MLK Day than whites. This suprising data came from the same research group that determined Christians are more likely to celebrate Christmas than Jews, people without legs are more likely to buy prosthetic limbs than other people, and sheep are more likely to "bahh" than cows. The fascinating article also revealed that while 75% of people think there has been sweeping progress towards racial equality, only 66% of blacks think that. I find this very curious. Somehow, the rich white middle-aged wives they called for the poll are convinced the black gardners they allow the privilege of pulling their weeds for seven dollars an hour have equal rights to their CEO husbands who make 9,000 dollars an hour to fly in their corporate jet. Or maybe they think the teenage blacks who put mayonaisse on their whoppers have an equal chance at going to UNC as their beloved sixteen-year old daughter Kylie. In any event, I feel enlightened having read the article. I suggest a read yourself.
Keeping with our theme of intelligent human actions, tonight, some "doctor" employeed by San Quentin Prison is going to inject a death-inducing cocktail into Clarence Ray Allen's left arm until his heart stops beating and he is pronounced dead. The human beauty of this situation is that exactly four months ago, Clarence Ray Allen's heart did stop, and he was dead. The problem being, of course, that his heart stopped on his own, and not with the assistance of San Quentin. Clarence's heart stopped four months before his scheduled execution, so the prison called in the doctors to revive him, which they did. So they brought Clarence back to life. They literally brought him back from death so they could return him to death row. Save him so they could kill him. Adding to the intelligence of this decision is the fact that Clarence is 76-years old, legally blind, nearly deaf, and confined to a wheelchair. Thank the heavens above we will finally rid the world of the threat of a 76-year old cripple. I'd like to add to the whole amendment banning the use of cruel and unusal punishment. We should also ban stupid punishment. Bringing back a dead guy so you can kill him again is stupid, and thus should be illegal.
Another fine day for the human race.
