If the Word Fits

In last Tuesdays’ Tennessean (Nov. 13), an article debuted Oxford Dictionary’s “Word of the Year.” Given Britain’s ongoing media debacles and its government’s notable 2012 gaffes, this year’s word is “omnishambles.”

Oxford University Press defines this word as, “a situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders and miscalculations.”  Upon reading this definition, I could not think of a better word to describe the state of our nation’s current death penalty system: omnishambles.

Innocent people sentenced to death. Rampant racial and class bias. Exorbitant amounts of taxpayer dollars wasted. Ineffective attorneys. Executions of individuals with severe mental illness. Victims’ families waiting decades for the promise of an execution.  Disproportionate sentencing. Coerced confessions. Faulty eyewitness identification.  Withheld evidence–omnishambles.

I hope in the near future when I think of the death penalty system and all its failings, another word will come to mind–history.

Fairly, there are numerous aspects you would like to think about medications. All discount medicaments save money, but few online drugstores offer better deals than other online drugstores. There isn’t anything you can’t order online anymore. Remedies like Deltasone ordinarily is used to treat diseases such as eye problems. Glucocorticoids naturally occurring steroids, which are easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. There are varied drugs for every conditions. Cialis is a remedy prescribed to treat many illnesses. What do you already know about long term side effects of cialis? What consumers talk about how long does it take for cialis to take effect? A general sexual appeal among men is the erectile dysfunction. Sexual problems mostly signal deeper problems: low libido or erectile dysfunction can be the symptom a strong heartiness problem such as heart trouble. Albeit the erectile dysfunction itself isn’t necessarily dangerous, erectile dysfunction is sometimes one of the early warning symptoms of other underlying soundness conditions that can be extremely dangerous. Unfortunately nearly all over-the-counter medicines have sometimes dangerous aftereffects, from muscle aches to death. If you buy any erectile dysfunction medicaments like Cialis, check with a physician that they are sure to take with your other drugs. Do not take unwanted medications. Take Cialis to your local chemist’s shop which will dispose of them for you.
