Irony Supplement

I hope that there are still people out there who appreciate irony...

While dog-fighting is a vile, cruel sport, and I whole-heartedly believe that those who are involved in it should be subject to harsh penalties, the irony of one particular statement was impossible to miss.

Dose of Irony #1:

Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV, apparently told his colleagues in open session that while he's seen one execution, he wouldn't mind seeing another "if it involves this cruel, sadistic, cannibalistic business of training innocent, vulnerable creatures to kill"

Um. Uh.

Wow. That one damn near left me speechless.

Dose of Irony #2:

One of the allegations was that at least one dog was killed by being doused with water and electrocuted.

It's cruel to do this to a dog... But an acceptable means of executing a human being?

Ish. I need a cup of day-old black coffee to wash the taste of this out of my mouth.
