Too early. I don't know how morning radio people do this everyday.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Poor Cash! I'm up early this AM to keep my swim wakeups possible. I really want my other 90 minutes of sleep, please. Especially since I'm NOT swimming today.
We're lucky to get this kind of radio exposure so I'll get up at 3am if I have to. And then go back to bed.
The coffee tastes especially good this early.
Epic, I am so sorry about your kitty.
Speaking as the relative of two police officers (still alive), I do believe I'd still speak out against the death penalty in the horrible chance either of them were killed on duty.
(I also disagree strongly with laws that call for the death penalty automatically for cop killing. They're humans, no better or worse than the rest of us, and when a cop goes bad or is horribly mistaken or escalates a situation to lethal force first, there's room to mitigate penalty.)
If I were the relative of slain cop in the Davis case, I'd want a full re-investigation and trial. I would lay awake nights wondering if the real killer got away and the wrong man was put to death.
My understanding is that one of the men convicted of killing James Byrd was also put to death last night, and some of Byrd's family are still against the death penalty.
Unlike with the Davis case, the man in Texas admitted the crime and said he would have murdered Byrd again if it had to do it all over.
The world is a better place without him in it and yet, I don't believe in capital punishment. I do wonder what CP would look like if we only performed state sanctioned murder against those who confessed and showed no remorse.
I do believe I'd still speak out against the death penalty in the horrible chance either of them were killed on duty.
I was just responding to this from Theo.
I don't believe allowing the government to execute an evil person makes the world a better place.
In first world problems, I just realized that my cat peed on the shoulder of the dress I am wearing! I have to spend 10 more hours in this dress.
