What do Omar Arnold, Paul Farance, Bryan Singleton, Jack London, Michael Amir Williams Muhammad, Jimmy Nicholas, Blanca Nicholas, Roselyn Muhammad, Faheem Muhammad, Frank Tyson, Fernand Diaz, Peter Madonie, Josephine Baker and Kai Chase have in common?
They are all aliases used by Michael Jackson to score prescription drugs. So says the Los Angeles Times.
The King of Pop and the King had two things in common then: they both loved Lisa Marie and they both loved their pills.

286...Karma Is A Comedian
Just minding my own business, flipping through the Los Angeles Times and low and behold I come across a tres funny story.
The Po Po in El Segundo, California have popped Over the Wall Foundation director Kendall Craig Farris, by the way you know when they include your middle name they mean business, for selling what he claimed was methamphetamine and ecstasy tablets to an undercover officer.
This Over The Wall Foundation was founded by Mr. Farris and the Marina del Rey based program is stridently and sanctimoniously anti-drug. It grew organically from the publication of Mr. Farris' first book, Drugs, Kids and Crime: Surviving our Drug Obsessed Culture.
Farris was being held on $106,500 bail on charges of selling a substance that he alleged was drugs following Thursday's arrest.
Oh yeah, the dope turned out to be not dope. In other words, the fake was selling fakes.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.

234...Toughest Job In The World
Journalist.
More specifically, being a journalist in North Korea.
More, more specifically, being an American journalist in North Korea.
To that end The Los Angeles Times this morning offers late-breaking news that, after a two-day trial, that Laura Ling, CNN's Lisa Ling is her older sister, and Euna Lee, both of Current TV, were convicted of a grave crime against the state and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor. I never want to go to jail but I really never want to go to jail in North Korea and as for hard labour, well, I am rather delicate. Ms. Link and Ms. Lee were tried by the nation's highest court so there's no appeal, but most seem to agree the isolationist regime will be using the journalists as bargaining chips with Washington.
On top of jail avoidance I never want to be a bargaining chip either.
For your erudition, Current TV is partially owned by the inventor of the Internet, Vice President Al Gore, and is painfully hip with a reliance on viewer produced content i.e. smart young adults with video cameras who are killing time before going to grad school or getting real world jobs but have a passion for telling stories. It is on cable networks in the United States.
12 years.
That sucks.
Big time.
