South Carolina passes a good bill

Repeat child rapists could face the death penalty. In South Carolina, this means they get a choice of lethal injection or the electric chair.

Governor Sanford intends to sign this bill.

Nice to see politicians actually getting around to passing a good law.

It's not perfect (I'd have preferred that South Carolina try to acquire the GRU's blast furnace for carrying out the sentence), but it's good enough.
