Judge clears way for dinosaur park to be seized
A federal judge has cleared the way for the government's seizure of a creationism theme park in Pensacola owned by a couple convicted of tax fraud.
A ruling by U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers states that the nine properties that make up Dinosaur Adventure Land as well as two bank accounts associated with the park will be used to satisfy $430,400 owed to the federal government.
Kent Hovind, who founded the park and a ministry, Creation Science Evangelism, is serving 10 years in federal prison for failing to pay the Internal Revenue Service more than $470,000 in employee taxes.
He was found guilty in November 2006 on 58 counts, including failure to pay employee taxes and making threats against investigators.
The conviction culminated 17 years of Hovind sparring with the IRS. Saying he was employed by God and his ministers were not subject to payroll taxes, he claimed no income or property.
Hovind is incarcerated at the Edgefield Federal Correction Institution in South Carolina.
His wife, Jo, also was sentenced to a year in federal prison for her role in the tax fraud. She's currently jailed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Marianna.

The first baby rhinoceros born in Uganda in almost 30 years has been named Obama because his father is from Kenya and his mother was born in the US.

Hee-hee. Say, did I already mentioned that if I'll go back in time more than once (because destination #1 is already set for a fixed place and time), I'm planning to burn all of Cicero's writings?
He's. Just. So. Annoying.

Wow, that's really interesting! And kind of makes me sad for old people.

How come? They have the most "Relaxing and Thinking" time than anyone else!
Also, I could use a 2pm nap and leisurely breakfast every day.
The days I can take a nap ( unless I am sick) are some of my more productive days

They had so much TV watching time. Although I would enjoy more relaxing and thinking myself!
