Last month, I wrote about Much Marlboro Music, the contest the cigarette maker was having to showcase relatively unknown musical artists and bands.
The contest recently ended and the winner was announced yesterday:
Loni Rose
Which means my 43 votes for 500 Miles to Memphis were in vain.
(kinda like my vote for Ron Paul)

I know this word.
This blog is full of 'em.

Higgins Man Sentenced To Prison
He admitted to trying to sell enough cyanide to "kill a small city" in his words. Now, a Higgins man is headed to federal prison. Jeffrey Detrixhe was sentenced Wednesday to serve close to six years in prison. Detrixhe pleaded guilty to one count of prohibition against chemical weapons.
He was arrested after federal agents say Detrixhe was attempting to sell cyanide online. F.B.I agents say, Detrixhe admitted that he knew from his friend, that a man wanting to buy the cyanide was with the Aryan Brotherhood.
The F.B.I says, they confiscated a barrel containing more than 60-pounds of cyanide from Detrixhe's home in Higgins back in May.
How to Save the Airlines
From the email archives:
Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell, they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?
The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 'special services.'
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.
This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
