The band did not release a record with Evil Empire. The band's third album. Dark Bilious Vapors. In our New United States, . At least if this Marion County, Indiana judge has his way: Judge: Parents can't teach pagan beliefs. An Indianapolis father is appealing a Marion County judge's unusual order that prohibits him and his ex- wife from exposing their child to . Bradford, chief judge of the Marion Superior Court, kept the unusual provision in the couple's divorce decree last year over their fierce objections, court records show. The order does not define a mainstream religion. Bradford refused to remove the provision after the 9- year- old boy's outraged parents, Thomas E. Bristol, protested last fall. Through a court spokeswoman, Bradford said Wednesday he could not discuss the pending legal dispute. Damn, those canons of judicial ethics come in handy, particularly when there's no way the judge could discuss this case without making himself look like a bigger fool (or a more narrow- minded bigot) than he already looks. The parents' Wiccan beliefs came to Bradford's attention in a confidential report prepared by the Domestic Relations Counseling Bureau, which provides recommendations to the court on child custody and visitation rights. Jones' son attends a local Catholic school. Jones' lifestyle and the belief system adhered to by the parochial school. Jones display little insight into the confusion these divergent belief systems will have upon (the boy) as he ages. They filed their request for the appeals court to strike the one- paragraph clause in January. Cohen, an Indianapolis attorney representing Jones. Snyder, an associate professor of religious studies at Western Kentucky University. The fight is between the two parents on one side, and the judge on the other: At times, divorcing parents might battle in the courts over the religion of their children. Falk, the ICLU's legal director, said he knows of no such order issued before by an Indiana court. He said his research also did not turn up such a case nationally. There are lots of cases where a mom and dad are of different faiths, and they're having a tug of war over the kids. When the government is attempting to tell people they're not allowed to engage in non- mainstream activities, that raises concerns. It appears that there are other denizens of the freshwater deep that we should be worried about. It appears that a couple weekends ago, an Alton, IL fisherman caught what appears to be world record blue catfish in the Mississippi River just below Alton. An Alton fisherman, with help from his wife and a friend, landed a 1. Mississippi River below Alton. Tim Pruitt caught the fish early Sunday after a 4. Fred Cronin, Illinois district fisheries biologist. The catch easily beats the Illinois and Missouri records for blue catfish and probably is enough for a world record, Cronin said Tuesday. The world record is 1. January 2. 00. 4 at Lake Texoma near Denison, Texas. Current state records for blue cats are 8. Illinois and 1. 03 pounds in Missouri. Unfortunately, Fishzilla didn't survive his encounter with Pruitt. Pruitt, who underwent previously scheduled elbow surgery Tuesday, said the fish unfortunately died while being transported by special truck to the Cabela's outdoor store in Kansas City, Kan. Pruitt, who eventually wanted the fish returned to the Mississippi, was upset that the fish had died and stressed that special care was taken to try to keep the fish alive. And for those of you readers (come on, there has to be one or two) who are angling geeks, the information you wanted to know: Pruitt caught the fish, estimated at 2. Congratulations, Tim! Apparently, he's former FBI deputy director W. Mark Felt, according to a story in Vanity Fair that's been confirmed by Woodward, Bernstein, and Ben Bradlee of the Washington Post. I have to admit I share Ben Bradlee's astonishment: Bradlee said today, . Given that the Bushies are complaining about Sith as being a thinly veiled swipe at the b. Administration, are we now to get traditionalist Catholics complaining that Lucas is trying to tell us something by his creating an uncanny physical resemblance between Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious and Pope Benedict? Having hoarded the capital of her personal popularity for years by declining to enter the political fray, she is now able to spend it to salvage her husband. The newly opinionated Laura Bush is no more her own woman than she was while smilingly mute. Rather, she has been transformed from a femme couverte into a member of a category that Blackstone did not identify: what might be referred to as a femme couvrante. Her measured outspokenness, while seeming to be at odds with the White House line, is less an expression of marital difference than it is a dutiful form of marital compensation. In conversation with reporters during her Middle East trip, Mrs. Bush said of the recent anti- American rioting and demonstrating in Muslim nations, . But she stopped short of saying the further truth: that you might blame at least some of it on her husband, the man under whose wing, protection, and cover the entire country currently quails. Up to now, the president has done little consulting with Democrats on his nominations. Warner (R- Va.), who with Sen. Byrd (D- W. Va.) penned the . He had no parade in review, no rousing martial music, no speeches or official proclamations praising his decades in uniform, the trappings that normally herald a high- level military retirement. Instead, Riggs went to a basement room at Fort Myer, Va., and signed some mandatory forms. Then a young sergeant mechanically presented him with a flag and a form letter of thanks from President Bush. Hmmmm. And how much do you want to bet that form letter was machine signed? Riggs was blunt and outspoken on a number of issues and publicly contradicted Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld by arguing that the Army was overstretched in Iraq and Afghanistan and needed more troops. Garner, a one- time Pentagon adviser who ran reconstruction efforts in Iraq in the spring of 2. I happen to think it was that serious. Maybe I have a higher standard for these things. If he had truly high standards, he'd hand in his letter of resignation, and spit in the face of The Dishonorable Secretary of Defense as it hands it in. What bothers me is that if these infractions were that serious, why the hell wasn't some formal action taken? I realize that when one achieves the rarified heights that LTG Riggs reaches that a referral to a court martial isn't likely, though that's probably the most appropriate disposition. But usually (in my experience in the Navy), referal to nonjudicial punishment (the kiss of death to any officer's career), or at least the issuance of a formal letter of reprimand, is most appropriate. But no, not in Rumsfeld's military. After all, that might leave some sort of record that will show the arbitrary and capricious nature of this punishment. And, gee, I wonder what gives me the idea that these alleged improprieties are trumped up? After all, it's not like such a course of action would be beneath slime like Rumsfeld. But let's give the Dishonorable Secretary of Defense the benefit of the doubt. There was an investigation, after all: Riggs himself and investigation documents say he was the subject of anonymous allegations that he was violating the Pentagon's contracting regulations and having an affair with one of the contractors. The Army inspector general's office opened a probe in the spring of 2. At the same time, a criminal investigation also looking at the issue of contractors was launched by the Army's Criminal Investigation Command. Only the inspector general came back with findings of fault. An October 2. 00. Lt. Paul Mikolashek, the inspector general, found two violations of contracting rules but concluded that the allegation of . The memo found that a female contractor was allowed to draft congressional testimony, respond to congressional correspondence and communicate with Capitol Hill staffers. Allowing a contractor to perform functions that should have been undertaken only by government employees was improper, Keane wrote. Also, since the contractor was serving in a role similar to that of a deputy director or executive officer, that amounted to an improper . Riggs was put on notice . But we're certainly seeing what appears to be SOP for the Dishonorable Secretary of Defense: fuck up at the top, and then let the underlings take the blame.. And of course, the Dishonorable Defense Secretary is so very concerned with, y'know, consistency in meting out punishment: What's striking about the Riggs case is the comparison with how the Army and the other services have handled even more serious cases. Seven years ago, Maj. David Hale, the Army's inspector general, was allowed to hastily retire after allegations that he pressured the wife of a subordinate into a sexual relationship. An Army investigation uncovered other affairs with subordinates' wives, and Hale was later put back on active duty and court- martialed. But it took an Army review panel another six months after his conviction to determine that Hale should be reduced by one star to a brigadier general. Two Navy rear admirals were given letters of censure for not stopping lewd behavior at the 1. Tailhook Association convention in Las Vegas, where dozens of women were groped and fondled by Navy and Marine Corps aviators. Both admirals retired at their two- star ranks. More recently, the Air Force removed the four top officers at the U. S. Air Force Academy as part of a housecleaning after a sex scandal in 2. While the superintendent was demoted from a three- star to a two- star rank, the other officers went on to jobs with similar responsibilities. Were there any justice, it'd be the Dishonorable Secretary of Defense that would be retiring.. Louis Diaspora (go look it up; after all, I own an Unabridged Oxford English Dictionary, and I'm not afraid to use it; you can learn something from me). Actually, that's by way of mentioning a couple additions to the blogroll, just because. Riot Fest - Wiki. Visually. Riot Fest (also known as Riot Fest & Carnival) is a multi- day music festival.

I also don't remember any of the music played because I was in survival mode. I couldn't even be crowdsurfed out because everybody was so sardined and fighting for themselves. The EMS couldn't get to the front and the security was screaming for people to stop trying to get over the barrier to the medic station. Has anyone heard anything? At one point I had someone on top of my back, and someone either sitting or standing on my head, pushing my face down into mud. It was the scariest thing in my entire life cause I had no idea how long I. Apparently System of a Down had to stop playing so paramedics could get me out, I was unconscious at that point so I have no memory of it.
