It was three days before the legislature was to go home, and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was frustrated. The state Senate was thwarting a reduction she wanted in the fee for business licenses. So the governor's aides culled records at the state Department of Commerce for the e-mail addresses of nearly...

Judas Priest Screaming For Vengeance (Columbia, 1982) You have to forgive Judas Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing if some of their recollections from their band’s 30-year-plus career are imprecise.

Don’t tell Mrs. Vegetables, but there’s no one in the world I love more than Rob Halford. I always feel that way when I listen to Priest. And what’s a salute to cover songs without one of the most successful?

Thanks to those who entered our “Into the Pit” Fight contest; you guys have endured some seriously brutal and gruesome moshpit stories at the behest of 250 pound men (250 was always the number you gave, for whatever reason)!

I gotta tell you, this has been a long week. Waiting for the week and my employment with a company that I have been with for almost three years come to an end, has been kind of nerve racking. This is a big chance I’m taking but I hope it will all be worth it.

This may have been a diss to vocalist fill-in Ripper Owens. Halford tells The Dallas Morning News: “I don’t think a straight man can do my job in Judas Priest. I’ve never said that before. I’m sorry, but they can’t.” Either way, the Metal God is right about one thing. Only one man could front Judas Priest.

Got an awesome moshpit injury story?? Now’s your chance to profit from the excruciating pain you no doubt suffered at the hands of some giant fat dude throwing his weight around. In place of the Funny Photo Caption Contest this week (winners for last week’s will be announced soon, fret not), we’ve
