The recent revival of old-school execution methods is one of the most distressing signs that the United States is moving backward. While other countries eliminate the death penalty, in the U.S., we have leaders champing at the bit to kill death row prisoners. In response to arguments that lethal injection methods have inflicted lingering and excruciating pain on the executed, those leaders have turned back the clock to methods they can pretend as relatively painless. But it’s all a farce.

They say there are no stupid questions in journalism, and I tested that theory as a college newspaper reporter when I asked an MLB legend about the even more legendary Jackie Robinson. Was Robinson picked over more talented Negro League players to integrate baseball, I asked eight-time All-Star and former National League President Bill White, “because he was so nice?”White apparently hadn’t gotten the memo about there being no stupid questions. “Nice?!” he shot back.

Do they really mean to call it a no-sitting zone? If so, then that's what they need to name it. And they need to explain it.
The @jazzfest rule that may cause the most ill will: making people who are sitting on the grass in the no blanket or chair zone stand up when the band is onstage. One security guy (not this one) cursed at some sitters for being ‘f—— hard heads’ . Not very Fest-y https://t.co/BLDBi0WIo8
