Unspeakably foul China Arnold  was in a bad mood, so she stuck her one month-old daughter in the microwave oven, turned it on and watched the baby cook to death.

After several years and two guilty verdicts this subhuman thing was last month handed life without parole when she could instead have been sentenced to death. If anyone knows of a man who killed a baby in such a horrible way and who, like Arnold, was found to be of average intelligence and sound mind, let me know. After I pick myself up off the floor I will retract the bit about the pussy pass.

And in case you are wondering what could have triggered such indescribable rage, it was a simple argument with her boyfriend over the baby’s paternity. America being an anti-male nightmare, it is not beyond the pale to imagine that the jury which handed her the pass may very well have been placing part of the blame on the father. Because you know, if he hadn’t pissed her off she would never have done something so awful.

During the trial, ambulance chaser Kevin Lennen claimed that his client should be spared the death penalty as such should be meted out only to “the worst offenders.” One has to wonder just how baroque an imagination this man has to be able to conceive of a worse way to kill anyone, much less an infant. I wonder also if Lennen has left instructions in his will that if he is ever murdered in any way that isn’t worse than being cooked alive the prosecution should not seek the death penalty? Probably not, but he could no doubt explain that away using one of those twists of logic that have earnt lawyers the respect of the community…

So what would have been a fitting punishment? Execution by incineration, of course.
