The Smoking Gun: Meet John Huffman
Please make sure you click the link for the pic...
"DECEMBER 5--Meet John Huffman. Here's what we know: On the night of October 29, while driving with a child in the passenger seat of his station wagon, the Tampa man rear-ended another vehicle at an intersection. We also know that after cops found Huffman, 34, unsteady on his feet, with alcohol on his breath, and in possession of three bags of pot, they charged him with driving under the influence, marijuana possession, and child neglect. What we're not sure about, however, is how that lousy makeup job and those words--immortalized in this Hillsborough County Sheriff's booking photo--got on Huffman's face. The TSG fan who tipped us off contends that the tipsy driver was marked up after passing out at a Halloween party earlier that evening. And we thought he just had a low opinion of himself."
The Smoking Gun: Michael Jackson Bombshell
Wow...this certainly was unexpected.
"DECEMBER 9--A confidential investigation by Los Angeles police and child welfare officials concluded earlier this year that allegations Michael Jackson sexually abused a cancer-stricken boy were 'unfounded,' according to an internal government memo obtained by The Smoking Gun.
"The probe's findings were based, in large part, on interviews with the alleged victim, his two siblings, and the boy's mother. According to the memo, when the child was questioned in February by a social worker assigned to the Sensitive Case Unit of L.A.'s Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS), he 'denied any form of sexual abuse' by Jackson and said that he never 'slept in the same bed as the entertainer.' While not specifically named in the DCFS memo, the 45-year-old Jackson is referred to repeatedly as 'the entertainer.'"

Fun With FTP
Once upon a time, the only real way to download gaming material on the internet (if you even knew where to look for it) was through FTP (or File Transfer Protocol). Journey back through the olden days now...when you were never quite sure what was at the other end of that dowload.
Mental State of the Union
Again from John Shirley's website....something that is of relevence to myself and might be to other perusers of this blog. Click on the links above or below for the full text of the piece.
Mental State of the Union
"1. I'm Okay, If You Say So
I'm sane, no, really, I am.
I'm not insane. No, really, I'm not.
Except...I've struggled with clinical depression and drug addiction, and these are both diseases of the brain. For a long time I made the same mistakes in life over and over, knowing better each time -- but doing it anyway. I was married and divorced four times before I figured out that I was giving in to relationship-wrecking compulsive behavior.
But since I don't rave on the street, I don't stalk people or have delusions of grandeur or hallucinate or hear voices, let's pretend I'm not crazy.
When I was young, I was in a mental hospital because of an overdose of a powerful street drug. "
