Rick Perry may have violated federal law when he obstructed a state investigation into the execution of an innocent man.

Interesting that we haven’t heard a peep from “pro-life” Catholics like Gingrich, Steele, K-Lo, Keyes, etc., etc., demanding Rell “accept the will of the people” isn’t it?

Larry Swearingen is scheduled to be executed tomorrow for the 1998 murder of Melissa Trotter. But forensic pathologists — including the one that originally helped convict Swearingen — have concluded that the physical evidence shows Swearingen could not have been the killer.

Four pathologists say the science points to yes.

The four include the medical examiner whose testimony helped secure Swearingen’s guilty verdict. That medical examiner now says college student Melissa Trotter’s curiously preserved body could not have lain in the East Texas woods for more than 14 days.

George Bush hates answering questions, but will he continue to dodge questions from the Lord? (Lord Justice Thomas of the British High Court, that is.)

Obama organizers discuss their efforts to mobilize voters and what still needs to be done before November 4. Is this campaign any different? Troy Anthony Davis is scheduled to be executed on September 23rd for a murder he says he did not commit. Lilliana Segura will discuss the case. A performance and interview with Toshi Reagon.

SF Roman Catholic Archbishop George H. Niederauer has asked Nancy Pelosi to stop by for a chat. He’s relatively new in San Francisco, and he’s been getting lots of letters about her from unhappy writers. But maybe Pelosi’s not the only one who needs to talk to the bishop.

On Wednesday, the Torch for the Blood Olympics will come to San Francisco. And we’ll be there to meet it. Won’t you join us? If you can’t make it to SF by April 9 to join the reception, you can join those boycotting the corporate sponsors of the 2008 Organ Harvesters’ Olympic Games.

As if China’s genocide in Tibet and complicity in Darfur weren’t reason enough to boycott the Blood Olympics: the Official Hosts selected by the International Olympics Committee for the 2008 Summer Olympics sell human flesh taken from victims of China’s vast, corrupt execution industry. But wait – there’s more. We in the US pay for the anti-rejection drugs taken by Medicare recipients who “visit” China to purchase kidneys from the organ emporium otherwise known as China’s “justice” system.

Our fair city of San Francisco plans to suspend the Constitution for the Olympic Torch relay April 9th. I know SF is leftist, but even here – do our leaders really want to surrender the nation’s Constitution to the Communist Chinese leaders without firing a shot?
