It's Bad Behavior Friday™!

In Tennessee, the wife of a clergyman was charged with his murder. Police found the woman and the couple's children hundreds of miles away in an Alabama beach town where "police were lucky to find them among hundreds of spring break revelers." Yeah, I'll bet a 32-year-old woman and three kids really blended into the party.

In other church news, we turn to a place called South Coogee -- see, this is already worth it -- in Australia, where an email jest has turned into "a year-long nightmare of gossip and allegation, whispered suggestions about lesbianism, the nature of her relationship with the rector's wife, and even pedophilia." It's like a 21st century game of telephone -- make the wrong joke in email and you're a pedophile. The ill-timed jest?

The sender, a loyal Anglican, used tinges of blue humour -- as well as several light-hearted biblical references -- to question women's subordination and why male but not female lay members of her eastern suburbs congregation were allowed to preach. "Whose penis must I hold to do a real sermon in the morning like [name deleted]?!" the email concluded.

Hmm, I wonder what the "light-hearted Biblical references" were in that context? Perhaps something about her coogee.

In Paris and other cities across France, protesters continued burning cars, which must make the car dealers happy, at least.

And in a new development in a story that consumed the NY media world last fall, the lawyer for writer Peter Braunstein said he will plead insanity in charges he dressed as a firefighter on Halloween in order to gain entrance to the apartment of a woman he'd been stalking and sexually assault her.
