IMPD Investigates Claims Officer Drove Drunk
In toto:

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis police confirmed they are investigating claims an officer may have been drinking and driving.

Few details were released Friday about the allegations and the officer under investigation.

“IMPD Professional Standards Division is currently conducting an internal investigation regarding an incident involving an officer and an allegation of impaired driving,” department spokesman Sgt. Paul Thompson said in a statement.

Thompson would not confirm the officer's name or give details as to when the alleged incident may have taken place.

I like it. Tricky way of getting most of the cops nervous and to think about toeing the line.

September 2009 BlogMeet, Part Deux

Roberta X has the details. I can taste the food already!

Pain as MSG? A BlogMeet Thought.

It seems to be a common practice among despots to have their prisoners tortured while they're feasting (the despots that is). Vlad Tepes (the historical Dracula) and the Mogul Emperor Jahangir are two examples of this behavior. For some time now I've wondered why they did this. Were they so busy that they could find little time during the day and thus had to combine both eating and torture? Or did the act of torture that is the pain of the tortured add flavor to the food? I may explore this today when I attend the Indy BlogMeet. I'll take a bite of my food and note its flavor. Then I'll ask someone like Joanna to punch someone. Then I'll take another bite of my food and see if it tastes better. I'll post the results here.
