SAS war hero jailed after 'betrayal'.
Short version:
\In 2007, after providing training to the Iraqi army, Sgt Nightengale was presented with a 9mm Glock by Iraqis, and planned to give it to his regiment as a war trophy. Before he could do so, two of his friends died and he accompanied their bodies home and helped with funeral arrangements.
During his absence, his possessions--including the pistol that is illegal at home--were packed by colleagues and sent home. Again, this is 2007. Apparently, he never got around to unpacking things.
In 2010, while Sgt. Nightengale was in Afghanistan, his housemate's estranged wife made a claim of domestic violence against her husband, not Sgt. Nightengale. The house was raided by officials and at that point the gun--still packed away and untouched by anyone for three fucking years--was found.
In a display of utter brilliance, Sgt. Nightengale was court-martialed and on Saturday sentenced to 18 months in prison as part of a plea deal which could have brought only probation.
No one claims he had the weapon for illicit purposes. Due to a brain injury accompanied by memory loss--also not disputed by the court--there's every possibility he honestly didn't know he had the gun. He's been in the military for 17 years of "exemplary service". And now he's going to prison and his wife and kids are going to lose their house.
There's really nothing I can say to point out the idiocy any more clearly.

I present to you a local band, Emory Quinn, performing the Verve Pipe's "Freshmen":
I will confess that even after the first time I heard this (on KFWR, natch), I was not convinced it really existed. Heard it again tonight, managed to catch the band name, and hunted for it on YouTube. Someone likes it well enough to have put it up.
It is...different. I'm fairly certain this song should never sound upbeat.
Update: Erik points out to me that maybe not everyone is familiar with mid-90s alt.rock. Well, that's your shortcoming, not mine, but I will help you out by providing you with the original version:

Rush Limbaugh mentioned this article on his show this afternoon. Unsurprisingly, he had a much different take on it than I.
The article is titled "The War on Men" and the premise is fully as nonsensical as that suggests. I'd try to summarize it, but doing so would make my brain melt, so I'll just quote some of it:
She's right on a couple of things. One, gender relations have changed. This is not a bad thing. Maybe men were knocked off their pedestal, but, well, there was no reason for them to be on a pedestal to begin with (it's equally nonsensical to say that women were on their own, feminine pedestal--being property isn't the same as being exalted). External genitalia do not make you inherently better. Two, feminism does benefit men who have no interest in marriage, as some wrong-headed women have become sexual playthings for men under the guise of equality. (This does not benefit women.)
She might even be right to say that some folks have pitted men and women against one another.
However, she is absolutely wrong to say that women are privileged in any way in this society, and that men are assumed to be in the wrong and women to be unassailable in their correctness.
Hell, her own article proves her to be wrong in that assertion.
Need more proof? Look at single moms. They are to blame for crime rates, the downfall of American society, and, hell, even the fact that unskilled, poorly-educated single men don't earn as much money as their married counterparts. All of this, of course, ignores one very important biological fact: it takes two people to make a baby. For every single mother (well, except for widows), there is a single father, but the media as a whole ignores this. The headlines don't read "Absentee fathers cause crime", after all, or "Men who walk out on their families leave them in poverty."
Also: rape. Now, there is starting to be some blow-back on this from women sick of being blamed. But again, it's because we are sick of the victims being blamed for the actions of the criminal. Case in point, the 11-year-old girl repeatedly gang-raped in Cleveland, Texas. As my husband has pointed out more than once, the girl--girl, people, barely in puberty--has been blamed repeatedly for her assaults. Check out this tidbit from the trail of one of her rapists:
Yeah, right.
Women aren’t women anymore.
To say gender relations have changed dramatically is an understatement. Ever since the sexual revolution, there has been a profound overhaul in the way men and women interact. Men haven’t changed much – they had no revolution that demanded it – but women have changed dramatically.
In a nutshell, women are angry. They’re also defensive, though often unknowingly. That’s because they’ve been raised to think of men as the enemy. Armed with this new attitude, women pushed men off their pedestal (women had their own pedestal, but feminists convinced them otherwise) and climbed up to take what they were taught to believe was rightfully theirs.
Now the men have nowhere to go.

But women are considered blameless by society.
[Defense attorney Steve] Taylor questioned why the underage girl had not been charged with anything for choosing to violate that rule, indicating that she was "the reason" that the encounters happened.
"Like the spider and the fly. Wasn't she saying, 'Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly?' " Taylor asked.
Yeah, right.

Hank Williams Jr & Sr - There's A Tear In My Beer

This Western Wednesday post takes us all the way back to 1950. "There's a Tear in My Beer" is a country song written and recorded by Hank Williams, and later re-recorded by his son in 1988. The original version was written and recorded by Hank Williams during one of his Nashville sessions in 1950-51, but he decided against releasing it. It was not until many years later, in 1989, that the original song would get its first official release. (Source)
Hank Williams, Jr.'s version is a duet with his father created using electronic merging technology. As the song had been previously recorded with Hank Williams playing the guitar as the sole instrument, his son and his band simply "filled in the blanks" and recorded additional vocals. The music video for the song combined television footage that had existed of Hank Williams performing, onto which electronic merging technology impressed the recordings of Hank Jr., which then made it appear as if he were actually playing with his father. The video was both a critical and commercial success, and was named Video Of The Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country music. Hank Williams, Sr. & Jr., would go on to "share" a Grammy award win in 1990 for Best Country Vocal Collaboration. (Source)

The 45th Annual CMA Awards gave ABC its highest-rated Wednesday in two years. The CMAs were also ABC’s “best performance” of any night this season and lead the network to win the most viewers during its time slot over the other major networks. An estimated 35-million viewers tuned in to at least some portion of the CMA Awards on Wednesday night.
Fresh off another CMA win for Vocal Duo of the Year, Sugarland says it’s time to take some time off! After a whirlwind ride on the Incredible Machine Tour, and a tumultuous 2011, the duo’s Jennifer Nettles says it’s time to settle down and regroup before making any further career decisions. Jennifer said, "Actually, we’re in the resting process, let me just be real frank. We just got off tour two weeks ago after two years of being on the Incredible Machine Tour and, obviously, after quite a tumultuous year to say the least. And we are taking a few months just to chill and relax, and sleep in our own beds, and contemplate how we want to approach what’s next.” Jennifer will have one more professional duty to fulfill before she can truly take a vacation. She’ll be hosting and performing on the CMA Country Christmas special, which is set to air December 1st on ABC.
Some of the biggest stars in country music came together to celebrate the holidays for Thursday night’s taping of the CMA Country Christmas special in Nashville.
