<br />
As you may have noticed, this one has been on hiatus since about April. Lot of real world betwixt then and now, notably a bar exam and getting killed at work. As a result, this little corner of madness has been pushed aside.<br />

I've missed it, yet I realize that it is untenable in its current form. But, in typical compromise fashion, I've decided to try a different approach. One that will allow me to dump some short term thoughts and the like on willing victims.<br />
<br />
So, <a href="http://gothlaw.tumblr.com/"><b>I'm moving to Tumblr</b> </a>for the foreseeable future. Predictably, the URL is <a href="http://gothlaw.tumblr.com./"><b>http://gothlaw.tumblr.com</b></a> Come pay me a visit, I'll pour you a drink, and we can share some thoughts. But, for now, 'tis moving day...hope to see you soon. <br />

I found the most kick-ass, feel-good story <i>ever </i>today. One that should make the Earth pretty pleased (or, at least somewhat optimistic)...<br />

<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4_4GxmEjRoNV8PZehYJJJgeu8yf9nlgU3r8iYBEfLaQaCuKWE8FQDKA06wc205N5mjYe-B01LiwMnhUEJhVYgOU7s-MVLktdyCicWAVoIAAu-juHuh89UY5T-B1OzzZhr23v9TDYDxYHj/s1600/earthday1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4_4GxmEjRoNV8PZehYJJJgeu8yf9nlgU3r8iYBEfLaQaCuKWE8FQDKA06wc205N5mjYe-B01LiwMnhUEJhVYgOU7s-MVLktdyCicWAVoIAAu-juHuh89UY5T-B1OzzZhr23v9TDYDxYHj/s400/earthday1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>You mean you <u>do</u> love me?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">According to the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/apr/10/bolivia-enshrines-natural-worlds-rights"><b>Guardian</b></a>, Bolivia is about to make serious, serious history-changing law with the passage of <b>A Ley de Derechos de la Madre Tierra (The Law of Mother Earth)<i> </i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><blockquote>The country, which has been pilloried by the US and Britain in the UN climate talks for demanding steep carbon emission cuts, will establish 11 new rights for nature. They include: the right to life and to exist; the right to continue vital cycles and processes free from human alteration; the right to pure water and clean air; the right to balance; the right not to be polluted; and the right to not have cellular structure modified or genetically altered.<br />
<br />
Controversially, it will also enshrine the right of nature "to not be affected by mega-infrastructure and development projects that affect the balance of ecosystems and the local inhabitant communities".<br />
<br />
"It makes world history. Earth is the mother of all", said Vice-President Alvaro García Linera. "It establishes a new relationship between man and nature, the harmony of which must be preserved as a guarantee of its regeneration."</blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh, I'm sure the proposal/law will be plenty ridiculed and patently ignored by those who want to exploit Bolivia's natural resources (cuz that's never happened before *wank*). And, let's face it, the legislative preamble is all kinds of flaky</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"> She is sacred, fertile and the source of life that feeds and cares for all living beings in her womb. She is in permanent balance, harmony and communication with the cosmos. She is comprised of all ecosystems and living beings, and their self-organisation.</div></blockquote><br />
<br />
But, as a first step, and an eye-opening first move? I'll absolutely take it. You know who else would?<br />

I am however, much much more worried about abuse of the legal process for a quick, cheap political kill. </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Philip Greaves,</b> world-class creeper and author of the notorious <b>"Pedophiles Guide"</b> (a/k/a a code of conduct for creepers to stay within the boundaries of the law), was -<a href="http://gothlaw.blogspot.com/2010/12/florida-prosecutors-pick-on-cripples.html">as you may remember</a>, the subject of an attempted indictment by the State of Florida. A cheap, grand-standing political prosecution, based upon "obscenity", was set up for a quick-kill and cheaper political points.<br />
<br />
Well, it worked. <b>Greaves </b>pleaded no-contest/nolo in exchange for two year probation, to be served in his home state, and not having to register as a sex offender. The result of the settlement/plea means that he will continue to keep on, keeping on: nothing has changed, except that he's now considered a criminal, whereas previously he had no criminal record. <br />
<br />
Defending pedophiles isn't my bag. But this was just horseshit from the word go. Carry on with your regularly scheduled march to the police state and brain-dead, uncritical populism.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Advocates for rape victims are raising concerns about a Nebraska judge’s threat to jail a 24-year-old woman who is refusing to testify about alleged childhood sexual abuse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
Huh? Por qua? Que? What the fuck?<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Judge Paul Merritt Jr. of Lancaster County said the woman would be held in contempt of court and jailed for 90 days if she doesn’t testify, the Lincoln Journal Star reports. His order was stayed pending the woman’s appeal, which argues she will face disgrace and humiliation if she testifies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />

Do it!!!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">What kind of horseshit is this? Lady doesn't want to testify to horrific abuse. The prosecutors may have to find additional evidence to make their case absent her cooperation. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot...she's already made their fucking case for them:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></blockquote><blockquote>The alleged victim cooperated with investigators last August, reportedly getting Riensche to admit to inappropriate touching in a recorded conversation, the Associated Press reports. In March, however, she refused to answer questions in a deposition.<i> </i></blockquote><br />
<br />
So, let me get this straight. She cooperated with investigators, gave them enough to get the creeper to essentially hang himself, and now, because she no longer wishes to aid in the investigation, <i>via deposition, </i>then she will <b>be jailed?</b> Lookit, I understand the Defense gets an opportunity to depose the lady. I do. But, the guy has already admitted to molesting her. Why doesn't the defense counsel do the right fucking thing here and settle/plead out this piece of shit.<br />
<br />
More importantly, why issue jail time to a woman who's having to relive trauma which all-but assuredly fucked her up...at the risk of imprisonment. Inherent contempt powers can be tailored much more narrowly than this. So, why not?<br />
<br />

Not particularly angry. Just apathetic. And, tired of being spoken to as though a child.<br />

If you're so inclined you can Google all of the wonderful (and occasionally supremely flaky) discussions of German Expressionism contained therein, and the impact that the film had on later <i>noir </i>film-makers.<br />

<br />
Wednesday here is gloomy, raining and otherwise humpday 'meh'. Still, that's cool, maybe people will leave me the fuck alone and I can get my work done (or just get drunk in the office).<br />
<br />
Let's have some appropriate apathy/self-loathing music, shall we? From <b>New Orleans</b> hails the progenitor of the Southern Sludge style: <b>Crowbar</b>. These guys are living legends, never mellowed one bit, and importantly, their lyrics are solely based on pain, self-loathing, anger, anger over pain, pain over self-loathing and self-loathing over anger (I believe you get the point now).<br />
<br />
This little ditty has the appropriately uplifting title, "<b>I have failed".</b> <br />

<br />
Whatever you call 'em, they are <b>clearly evil...</b>at least to one deranged nutjob at the National Museum in Washington...<br />
<br />
From the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/national-gallery-visitor-attacks-gauguin-painting-officials-say/2011/04/03/AFoATUXC_story.html?hpid=z2"><i>Washington Post</i></a><br />
<br />
<blockquote>Screaming “This is evil,” a woman tried to pull Gauguin’s “Two Tahitian Women” from a gallery wall Friday and banged on the picture’s clear plastic covering, said Pamela Degotardi of New York, who was there. </blockquote><blockquote>“She was really pounding it with her fists,” Degotardi said. “It was like this weird surreal scene that one doesn’t expect at the National Gallery.”</blockquote><br />
<br />
Want to see the "EVIL"? Of course you do...It's Gaugin's <i>"Two Tahitian Women", </i>and so clearly trafficks to our base, prurient interests that it has no artistic merit. Whatsoever.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">There is some good news to the extent that some people (mainly ones visiting museums) don't take kindly to the attempted destruction of an international treasure...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i> </i></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><i> </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i> </i></div><div style="text-align: left;">“She was really pounding it with her fists,” Degotardi said. “It was like this weird surreal scene that one doesn’t expect at the National Gallery.”</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div>The woman who allegedly attacked the painting was “immediately restrained and detained” by the museum’s federal protection services officers, who charged her with destruction of property and attempted theft, Ziska said in a statement.<br />
<br />
The painting’s alleged attacker was “tackled by a guy who was visiting the gallery,” Degotardi said. She described him as a social worker from the Bronx.</blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
So, well done Bronx social worker. And, well done to save the painting. As of this writing, no damage has been reported.<br />

And not in a good way...Apparently, GoDaddy.com CEO <b>Bob Parsons</b> has a dick the size of a thimble...Otherwise, I can't understand why on God's Earth he would do the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>This year, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/godaddy">GoDaddy</a> CEO <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/bob-parsons">Bob Parsons</a> went on an African vacation and shot an elephant. He recorded the whole thing on video.<br />
<br />
There's one scene where a swarm of "hungry" villagers rip flesh off the dead elephant.<br />
All the villagers are wearing bright orange GoDaddy-branded hats, too.<br />
<br />
Parsons says he did it because the elephant was eating villagers' crops. Opponents say there are non-lethal ways to solve that kind of problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
And people wonder why I detest humanity....<br />

"First let's stretch it out, and loose that baggage. Stretch it up to the overhead locker or slide it under the seat in front of you. Stretch and slide!<br />

<br />
Anyway, stuffed myself on Kona Brewing Co. Fire Rock Pale Ale, Lobster cakes w/Aioli, NY Strip, potatoes, asparagus (and filched a lil' of Monkaygirl's Taste of the Islands Linguine). So came back in a food coma...likely drunk...and crashed at 9:00.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Lo and behold, ten til three and what happens? Wide. The Fuck. Awake. Not like I have to make a 5 hour round trip drive or anything today, then get back and write a brief...not to mention it's humpday. If I survive today, raise a glass in my honor, cuz I'll probably be drunk by noon.<br />
<br />
On with the show: Today's selection features a lil' band you've probably heard of...they adorn the denim jackets of punks and metal heads, and have for almost three decades. You can see the iconic logo just up above (feel free to 'Apple click-Save as'). But, we're not gonna' do the newer stuff. Nope we're going back to the OG...<b>Glen Fucking Danzig. </b>Runty powerbroker of trash metal, and progenitor of the "devil lock" haircut (of which, your's truly once rocked).<br />
