No bullets, rope? Who’s in charge here?! Sept. 27, 2010, AP, A shortage of a drug used for lethal injections will temporarily halt state executions after Thursday, the California attorney general’s office said today. Corrections officials notified prosecutors the state has been unable to secure supplies of sodium thiopental, the anesthetic that renders inmates unconscious before lethal drugs are injected, attorney general’s spokeswoman Christine Gasparac told The Associated Press. The shortage, however, will not stop the planned execution of Albert Greenwood Brown, who is scheduled to die Wednesday. A Marin County judge refused to issue a stay of execution Monday for Brown, even though he and another death row inmate have sued the state, alleging its new lethal injection regulations were improperly adopted. A federal judge refused Brown’s request Friday to halt the execution. The attorney general will recommend other executions not be scheduled until the drug supply is available, Gasparac said. The drug’s manufacturer, Hospira, has blamed the shortage on raw-material supplier issues since last spring. The company is promising availability in early 2011.

Rick Perry bellowed on election night as he celebrated his victory over Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Republican primary for governor. In his reference to Texas’ anti-littering slogan, Perry was making a point applicable to national as well as Texas politics and addressed to Democratic politicians as well as Republicans. His point was that the big government policies of the Obama administration and Democratic congressional leaders are resented and fiercely opposed not just because of their dire fiscal effects but also as an intrusion on voters’ independence and ability to make decisions for themselves. No one would include Perry on a list of serious presidential candidates, including himself, even in the flush of victory. But in his 10 years as governor, the longest in the state’s history, Texas has been teaching some lessons to which the rest of the nation should pay heed. They are lessons that are particularly vivid when you contrast Texas, the nation’s second most populous state, with the most populous, California.
