One of the Jacksons is dead!

Well...

Johnny Jackson, a former drummer for the Jackson 5, was found stabbed to death at a house in Gary, Ind., police said this afternoon. (Please look at the accompanying picture, he's the one silhouetted in total darkness. Total light-evaporating darkness.)

Around 11:23 p.m. March 1st, officers responded to an emergency call from the home, and found Johnny Jackson unconscious with a stab wound to his chest. The victim, 54, was pronounced dead at the scene today by the Lake County, Ind., coroner's office.

A witness who lives upstairs in the home heard a disturbance coming from downstairs between Jackson and a female acquaintance of Jackson's, Arnold said. The witness went downstairs to see what was going on and found Jackson lying in the first-floor living room area before calling 911.

No one was in custody this afternoon and detectives were conducting a homicide investigation, according to Arnold. A description of the female acquaintance was unavailable, and Arnold did not know how the two knew each other. Arnold said police believe Johnny Jackson was a first cousin of Michael Jackson.

Now me? He'll get buried in a pauper's grave while the rest of the bloated family dines on fine china and little brother Michael builds a mosque for the Islamic faithful in Bahrain as he has had yet another convenient religious epiphany.

Another sign of the Apocalypse unfolds.

Well, he didn't, but pretty soon it might be. Today Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) repeatly read the text of the U.S. constitution to the U.S. Senate after the body voted 95-4 approving 3 amendments to 16 controversial provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, set for renewal.
 
Feingold spent 34 minutes sharing the document with his fellow Senators, stopping to repeat the Fourth Amendment, which he feels the law violates.
I'm proud to share a border line with him from here in Chicago. This is definately a great man's last gasp at freedom. Remember this folks, because the next time you stand up in a crowd, you WILL be squashed down.
 
The Fourth Amendment reads:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
 
The Senate is deciding the fate of the overall extension of the Act as we speak todsy, and is set to consider more Amendments designed to protect civil liberties before final voting next week.
 
Buy your ticket to Canada now, if you can. Glad I'm within walking distance.

Jack Wild died today from cancer at age 53. He was a fixture on my TV every Saturday morning, because I was addicted to all the Sid and Marty Krofft shows, including H.R. Pufnstuff.

Wild played Jimmy, who was brought to "Living Island" by a mean old hag named "Witchiepoo" who wanted to steal his magical talking flute. I wonder if Jerry Falwell ever watched this show.

Watch the H.R. Pufnstuf opening below, or click here to watch the entire first episode.

RIP Jack Wild.

Hey, Herimone can PARTY! Well, she got caught, plain and simple. There's no getting over the fact that even the tweeners in Hollywood don't give a shit about your kids when their Drew Barrymore-esqe behavior is caught on film. And for those of you slobbering geeks who are bashing your heads against the keyboards in your mother's basements may think the first picture was a fake, check out the rest...

See? She drinks. Boo friggin' hoo.

What ever happened to our favorite perky gal from “When Harry Met Sally” and “Joe vs The Volcano”? THIS is what happened.
 
She was on Oprah yesterday and for a split second I thought the big O was doing a segment on Crystal Meth recovery! Howard the Duck has nothing on her. It's firghtening. Here's the before and after:
 
Please pray for her. She left Dennis Quaid for a fling with Russell “Mr. Telephone Man” Crowe, and this is how she ended up. Why, Meggy, why? She went from being America's little Sweetheart to - uh, Hell, I don't even know.

Head over to the Shockabsorber Bounceometer, where you can simulate the amount of bounce created by exercise on various boob sizes - with or without bras. Endless fun, almost mesmerizing.

No, not her...but you already know what Rick Santorum looks like. Link

(I may start doing this for all my posts)

- Bush knew the levees were in danger before Katrina, then lied four days later...what else is new?
- A group of students wanted to see what happens when you drive the speed limit on the interstate.
- A letter just surfaced warning of Al-Quaida infiltration in the UAE...real or not, it makes the port deal look bleak.
- Have you ever taken a good, long look at the Cleveland Police Department logo? Neither have they.
- And if you don't like it here, move your ass to Fort Wayne...check out Lazy Muncie. (this is pretty good)
