Nebraska can't sell its lethal injection drugs to Saudi Arabia

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts just squandered $55,000 of Cornhusker Cash to procure drugs to kill Nebraskans likely never to die from Ricketts' love of state sponsored murder. That's because Nebraska's unicameral legislature (America's one and only) just voted 32 to 15 to abolish the death penalty. Ricketts has vowed a veto, but if the 32 hold together, they will override Ricketts' death dance and make Nebraska the 19th state to join most civilized countries that have abolished capitol punishment.

If Ricketts' veto is overridden, maybe he should renounce his citizenship and emigrate to Saudi Arabia. With over six months to go they've just lopped off their 85th human head of people offending the regime, just 3 shy of last years 88. Things are so tough they're advertising for additional headchoppers, a gig Ricketts might consider. The Saudi's, Uncle Sam's best buddy in the Middle East, let the blood gush in public; no sissy lethal drug cocktails for their condemned.
