So. . .
Does that mean if I'm incarcerated because of violations to the Patriot Act extension I can have my xbox live avatar serve the prison time?

Some thoughts for central Kentucky
If you want to scratch "the south will rise again" somewhere, maybe look a little harder and don't settle so fast on the top of the toilet paper dispenser in the rest area.

Grimsvotn rises!
I wish English had more flair and drama, and wasn't just the stuff left on the side of the pot of everything that passes through it.
I'm officially laying claim to this idea, before I search to see if its already out there. Its mine.
Two words. Alliterative even. Its going to be huge . Camouflage clamdiggers.

You ever . . .?
Run up against one of those movies that when you read the review, the review is so bad its really funny and it makes you want to watch the movie just for the comedy gold? Well, take my advice, its better just to read the review and laugh and mock from afar than to try to watch it. Thank you SyFy, for teaching me something again.

"(The court is saying) we would rather opt on the side of saying if the police act wrongfully in entering your house your remedy is under law, to bring a civil action against the officer."
by the way, any idea how much hassle it would be to do that, when you're not the one who acted illegally in the first place? estimates?

Violent mob attacks Jehovah’s Witnesses in Bulgaria during annual observance of Christ’s death
BURGAS, Bulgaria—On Sunday, April 17, 2011, at 7:30 pm, Jehovah’s Witnesses in the city of Burgas were peacefully gathered at their Kingdom Hall for the annual commemoration of the death of Jesus Christ. About 20 minutes before the program was to begin, an angry mob of about 60 men, some waving flags of the political party VMRO, gathered in front of the Kingdom Hall. The mob threw large stones at the Witnesses who were at the entrance of the building. After that, the mob stormed the door.
The Witnesses called the police immediately, but they were slow to respond. At the time of the attack, more than 100 people were inside the hall, including women, children and elderly ones. Injuries resulted from the attack, and five victims were taken to the hospital by ambulance with severe injuries, including concussions.
Representatives of the political party VMRO have disrupted the peaceful meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses on several occasions in the past and have repeatedly used the media to circulate defamatory lies about the Witnesses. Criminal complaints against this political party have been filed on numerous occasions, but the attacks have continued. Now, the international community is watching to see how the authorities of the Bulgarian government will react to these lawless and criminal acts.
In Bulgaria last year nearly 4,000 attended the Witnesses’ annual commemoration of Christ’s death. Worldwide there are over 7.5 million Jehovah’s Witnesses who peacefully meet together for worship.

The end times are upon us.
I know its not mentioned in Matthew 24, but I'm having a hard time not assuming that my wife saying 'I have to go check and make sure a kitten is not lodged in her birth canal' signals that the angels holding back the storm winds of destruction have been given the official go ahead to let it rip.

(Russian)
One of Jehovah’s Witnesses declared
innocent in historic criminal case in Russia
GORNO-ALTAYSK, Russia—The Gorno-Altaysk City
Court just concluded a trial with profound
implications for freedom of expression and
religious belief in Russia. Judge Marina
Sokolovskaya has issued a not-guilty verdict in
the criminal case against Aleksandr Kalistratov,
who is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The case was the first of its kind
in Russia. Mr. Kalistratov was
charged with inciting religious
hatred or enmity; however, not
one of the 71 witnesses in the
case could testify that Kalistratov
was guilty. Additionally, no
evidence was produced during
the six-month trial that
substantiated the charge. Viktor
Zhenkov, one of Mr. Kalistratov’s defense
attorneys, stated: “It is unmistakably clear that
Aleksandr Kalistratov committed no crime.
Today’s ruling proves that the charges against
Kalistratov and other Jehovah’s Witnesses in
Gorno-Altaysk are totally without proper basis.
These charges are really a misapplication of the
extremist law.”
When asked for his reaction to the verdict, Mr.
Kalistratov responded:“I am grateful for the
courageous stand that the judge took in issuing
such a decision. I just hope that the ruling will be
helpful to many of my fellow believers who
continue to be prosecuted in Russia. It would be
sad for other innocent Russian citizens to be
subjected to illegal surveillance merely out of
religious intolerance.”
More than 7,500,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses in
over 230 lands have been watching the
developments in this case with keen interest.
“Our fellow worshippers around the world and
other observers of this case are rejoicing that the
court confirmed that Kalistratov is innocent,”
states Vasily Kalin, Chairman of the
Administrative Center of Jehovah’s Witnesses in
Russia. “This victory is a major step forward in
the protection of freedom of worship.”
Today’s verdict is in harmony with the unanimous
judgment of the European Court of Human Rights
on June 10, 2010, which noted that Russian
courts had clearly violated the rights of the
Moscow Community of Jehovah’s Witnesses. That
judgment states that the Russian government
“has a legal obligation . . . to put an end to the
violation found by the Court and to redress as far
as possible the effects.”
