The Terminator Says Hasta La Vista Baby to 75 Year Old
Calif. Governor Has No Mercy for Inmate
By DAVID KRAVETS Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO - California's oldest death row inmate — a 75-year-old who is legally blind and nearly deaf — is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to do something it has never done before: block an execution because of the condemned man's advanced age and infirmity.
Clarence Ray Allen's attorneys contend that executing a feeble old man amounts to cruel and unusual punishment banned by the U.S. Constitution.
Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday denied Allen clemency. Barring a last-minute reprieve by the courts, the governor's decision means Allen will become the second-oldest person put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume in 1976.

Arnold is bowing down to his masters. The Bush administration.

These are horrible!
Take some time and make them funny.
