He abhors "death dealers", don't you know.<BR/><BR/>As I'm sure you will recall, leading up to his execution back in '05 there were many well known types who were engaged in the struggle to save Tookie. In addition to those I've already mentioned the following I'm certain were fighting the good fight -- Jim Brown, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Snoop Dog, the NAACP and, of course, the Nation of Islam. There were many others who I am less sure of and too lazy to look up, but if memory serves -- an Oscar winner (probably Tim Robbins), Gore Vidal/Norman Mailer (I always get these ass-wipes confused), Ed Asner, and several idiotic females whose names fail me. Allow me to add these and their sympathizers to my curse list.King Selfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010470624885290464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499583311323134897.post-3310074040871939532007-12-17T07:45:00.000-06:002007-12-17T07:45:00.000-06:00Quick couple of points.

Second, I believe you owe your readers a list of at least the famous people that slobbered all over Stanley. Third, I wonder if all the murderers in the California penal system get access to steroids, or just the famous ones?The Archduke of Arrogancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489016995391993623noreply@blogger.com
