Helter Skelter!
Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, the deranged disciple of hippie cult leader Charles Manson,was released from a federal prison in Forth Worth, Texas today – three and a half decades after she pulled a gun on former U.S. President Gerald Ford.
Ford was unhurt in the “assassination attempt,” and Fromme later said she wasn’t trying to kill the President, but rather to use her trial as a public forum for Manson to spread his toxic world view.
Previously, Fromme helped Manson organize the sadistic 1969 killing spree that left eight people dead, including actress Sharon Tate and her unborn child. Neither she nor Manson directly participated in the killings, although Fromme was widely regarded as one of Manson’s top lieutenants at the time.
Unlike other Manson “family” members, Fromme has yet to repudiate the teachings of her former “Messiah.”
Manson, incidentally, is up for parole in 2012.
He is currently serving his sentance in a state prison in California.

Now that John Hinkley is being released is there any truth to the rumor Jodie Foster has been a regular overnight guest at the white house?

Ha! James — are you talking about that friendly letter floating around the Internet written by our own Nancy Reagan to Mr. Hinkley?
OMGoodness. That is great stuff!
