So the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which is considered by some to be a contradiction of terms, thinks that listing the contents of executed inmates' last meals is in poor taste, and has yanked them from their website. Smell that? That's irony.

The State decided that voluntarily (and some would say recklessly) taking a human life is OK, and here's a list of all 313 of them and what they did to get there (odd how many of them murdered someone for less than $500. Something to think about). But somehow listing what they wanted for their last meal is "in poor taste?" That's just too ironic to be funny.

There's many angles to the question of capital punishment, so why the hell is TDCJ drawing the line on whether or not Leroy got cheese on his burger before they stuck a needle in his arm?
