Maryland: Marvin Mandel

No, I am not talking about Warner Brother's Marvin the Martian, but yesterday's hearing about the possible demise of the death penalty in Maryland did have me wondering. Just who would a (CASA-supported?) alien meet if he asked us to take him to our leader? Would it be Martin O'Malley, or Marvin Mandel?

Governor O'Malley got loads of press yesterday for his testimony in favor of sending the death penalty to the gas chamber, but another Governor testified in favor of keeping it as a final sanction against the most vermin-like murderers in our midst. His story needs telling as well.
