Folks asked me to write about this so I did. Link in replies.
Replying to @johnamonaco
It was a crazy situation. He he reverted after being sentenced to death and became quite devout. He became very close to two lib priests after they saw some of his writings on his faith in the death penalty published somewhere. Neither agreed with the death penalty, nor did he initially, but they counseled him through the process where he came to accept the punishment, which culminated in a formal determination by the bishop of Norwich that he was not sinning or committing suicide by doing so. Prejean met with him right before his first execution date and failed to talk him out of it, but fought against him in court and secured a temporary stay. When he got to stay overturned, she publicly and personally called out his attorney and demanded he refuse to cooperate. She attacked the attorney for refusing to do so. Ross finally died about 6 months after their meeting. I crossed paths with Ross when they transferred him to Somers for the first aborted execution, and I met some of the Sisters of Mercy who were working with Prejean at Gates CI a few months later right before the execution. It always seemed so bizarre that they went as far as to try to deprive him of counsel in the name of his dignity lol. I should write about this at length I guess since I had such a weird vantage point for it.

I'm sorry, but that's your wife. Five meals for life is probably a few too many.
Maybe you’re just not a sensual person. Sensual people have a higher drive to eat good and varied food cooked well, to discover and enjoy more and more interesting art and music, to explore and experience. It’s not a sexed thing, my husband would hate to live like that

My uncle got tired of renting to yuppies from upstate and is finally selling our summer cabin in the green mountains my pepere built. Only $350k and I assume the town is ruined with high speed Internet and remote work by now.

If only there were some way for Republican voters to get rid of bad Republicans without handing the election to Democrats. Maybe some kind of election before the general election. I'm just throwing ideas out there.

KIXX FM has been regularly playing this political ad, which is just an AI country song calling Troy Jackson a freak. The anti-AI crowd has no answer to the retarded joy this brings me.
🔥 New SLF ad running on Maine radio is a banger: "Troy Jackson is weird. If he'll [bleep] his own family, he'll [bleep] yours, too..."

Donald Trump made @GovNedLamont get his ass beat by @ryanfazio in a debate tonight.
Ryan Fazio said he would “love”  and “be honored” to have Donald Trump’s support. He would be “very, very proud” to have his endorsement. He even wanted Trump to come here and campaign for him! Hard to believe he changed his mind.

I remember my mom bitching about Reagan holding up the classifieds when asked about unemployment during a press conference when I was very young.
What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

I tried to help someone who was innocent today and it was honestly the most miserable day of my life. The world is not built for such things.

Chaplin has had a Democrat-run government for less than a decade of the last century 🤣🤣🤣
interestingly Chaplin (where Dubitsky lives) was one of the only towns where Josh Elliott actually beat Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary
