Thanks for the congrats and ~ma, everyone.
I taught one 86-minute block. Tired now. Can I go home? Don't really want to teach two more. My brain is still on Pacific time, and 5:45AM was not fun this morning.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Judge offers church attendance as alternative to rehab/jail:
A Kentucky judge has been offering some drug and alcohol offenders the option of attending worship services instead of going to jail or rehab -- a practice some say violates the separation of church and state.
District Judge Michael Caperton, 50, a devout Christian, said his goal is to "help people and their families."
"I don't think there's a church-state issue, because it's not mandatory and I say worship services instead of church," he said.

Worship services instead of rehab? That'll work. No one gets loaded to go to church, I'm sure.

Don't you know it's impossible to abuse drugs and alcohol if you go to church every Sunday.

If the church offered rehab classes and the judge offered the offenders a choice of getting rehab at either a secular institution or a religious institution, I think that would be acceptable. But this vague "worship services" crap is definitely promoting religion and unconstitutional.

Heh. If you can find yourself one of those churches that uses peyote as a sacrament, that could work out to be a pretty sweet deal.

Not church, worship services.
But I guess since atheists are going to hell anyway, a little jail time won't hurt 'em.
