Every since Gov. Mark Warner spoiled the Mainstream Media's death watch party, they have been getting more goulish waiting for the winner of the Death Penalty Lottery - the 1000 person to be put to death.

For weeks leading up to the planned November 30th execution of Robin Lovitt, the media did not really play up the convicted killere, but rather opined how the person to so win the lottery would go down in history! (does anyone remember the 100th convict put to death since 1976?).

So just a day after spoiling the party by not executing Robin Lovitt, now the Mainstream Media's attention has switched to our neighbors to the south, North Carolina and Kenneth Lee Boyd (no relation to Lee Boyd Malvo).  He is scheduled to die in about 12 hours.

While I am against the death penalty for personal reasons, I am not one to stand outside the prison on a death watch.  Nor am I one to  condemn those who support the death penalty as it is the law of the land and one we will live with until a majority of our citizens decide to change that law.

But I am highly offended by this ghoulish display by the mainstream media in what is by any rights a very somber act that should at least have some dignity for process!  Instead, they dont care if the accused is a beast, animal, or jealous lover.  They just want their pound of flesh and the asterisk in the history books.

And it is revolting.
