Perfectly Gloriously Florida


via our friend Chez over at Deus Ex Malcontent

-- Republican State Representative Brad Drake of Florida, who filed a bill on Tuesday to bring back the firing squad as a method of executing death row inmates in that state

You might think that the bill itself makes this story so Florida -- but you'd be wrong.

It's the fact that the epiphany that led to the bill came to Representative Drake while he was having a conversation at a Waffle House -- that's what makes this story so perfectly, gloriously Florida.
I don't know if Chez is aware of it but we've awarded the State of Florida a very prestigious and coveted award, formerly held by Arizona: The Most Baneful State in the Union.

  1. Why not institute the Guillotine while they are at it?

    Unfortunately, Hanging, Drawing, and Quartering doesn't pass the cruel and unusual test or I am sure they would add that to the list of possibilities.
