Woody Harrelson’s father Charles died in prison on March 15, where he was serving two life sentences for killing a judge. It was while I was talking with a huckster/conspiracy theorist named Sherman last year at Dealey Plaza that I first heard that Harrelson’s father claimed to be involved in the JFK assassination (If you have not already read this interview, I HIGHLY recommend it.) Then I came upon this in Wikipedia:
Harrelson has declared that he was involved in John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Some think he was one of the three tramps photographed after being arrested on November 22, 1963 in a boxcar in the railyard near Dealey Plaza. Harrelson’s arresting officer, Marvin L. Wise, claims that the three men in his custody were released after a few hours of questioning. The other arresting officer, David V. Harkness, testified that there were several individuals removed from the train that day other than the three individuals in the photograph. Dallas Police Department documents presented to the public in 1992 indicate that three transients arrested by Dallas officer W.E. Chambers with no connection to the assassination were jailed for six days for vagrancy, and that one of those men was named John Gedney. There is no proof that Harrelson had any connection with the assassination.

Here’s some more info, including the photograph of the tramps. Also, vote in the new poll (to the right).

-Is the stock market evil? Pretty interesting op-ed piece.

-Totally awesome news: Hall and Oates are going to be playing at Philly’s 4th of July party. This has made my dreams come true!!!

–Damn I love that Baby Boy Da Prince jawn.

Duke in the Elite 8? They screw me even when they lose. What was I thinking? I hate myself. Oh yeah, and George Washington in the Sweet 16? Brilliant call, Goodtimes. Too bad they lost by 33 points. Our leaders after Day 1 are Indiana all the Way and Hoop Dreams, who both picked 15 out of 16 correctly.

-Is it just me, or has Angelina Jolie gone from hottest woman in America to least attractive other than Tori Spelling in like two years? She looks like an alien with a broken jaw.

–Beware the Ides of March.

-Just because I stare longingly at George Bretts crotch doesn’t make me gay.

–Saturday is officially Hall and Oates Day in Philly. What? I can’t go for that, No, I-I-I-I-I-I, I can’t go. I can’t go for that.

–Jessica Simpson wants a baby. Which is kind of a coincidence, b/c I kind of want her to have my baby. What the hell, Jessica, let’s go for it!

–Sylvester Stallone gets busted for 48 vials of HGH. I can’t understand why people are upset about this. I mean, ROCKY DOESN’T REALLY EXIST. He’s a movie character. Who cares if he’s using HGH? It’s not cheating. I don’t think Clubber Lang is like, “Bulls***! I would have killed that guy if he wasn’t cheating!”

–Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott just had a baby. The baby is expected to look like Nancy Grace and be remarkably devoid of talent.

–Al Gore takes some heat in the scientific community for his global warming film. I still can’t understand the backlash against it. I mean, what if we take precautionary measures, and, uh, pollute the air a lot less? Who’s really against that?

-The Israeli ambassador to El Salvador has been removed: El Salvador police found Raphael in the yard of his residence, tied up, gagged with a ball and drunk, Israeli media reported. El Salvador sounds fun.

Yeah, so last night I put together a fairly impressive team and set off for the Dark Horse to put Palestra Jon in his place. The team consisted of me, D-Mac, Smackdown, Trivia Art, and our buddy Jacques. Yep, three bloggers on the same team. The epitome of kool (with a K). Our team name was “We Mugged the 101 Year Old Lady”. We had attitude. We jokered Round One and got it perfect. After a so-so round two, we took the lead in the Speed Round by handing our paper in first. So we had a lead going into the final round. Then we crashed and burned. On two questions we really ate a sandwich. Both entirely my fault. For “What are the two longest running plays in Broadway history”, I thought Cats and Phantom of the Opera were too easy, so I went with Cats and Mousetrap. Then, on who is the oldest Hall of Fame baseball player still alive, I wrote down Yogi Berra, even though Jacques tried to convince me it was Phil Rizzuto. It was Phil Rizzuto. We lost by two to Palestra Jon’s team and finished 2nd. I’m still pissed. Damnit!

Hey peeps. Gonna be playing quizzo tonight at the Dark Horse (Headhouse Square) in case anyone wants to challenge me. You should probably stay home. You’re gonna lose. It starts at 9 p.m. (no, not like me. Actually at 9 p.m.)

Yo, I’m in the City Paper this week. In case you need to learn more about this amazing product, just click here.

Well, I left Hawaii at 12:30 a.m. and spent the whole day flying, arriving in Philly at 5:45 p.m. I was totally cursed on the airplane, as one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen sat in the seat directly in front of mine. I spent the whole flight angry, thinking about how much better the flight would be if I had been assigned one row away from where I was. Damn! Anyways, I’ve got a couple more stories to tell at some point, and we’re gonna start the Barristers Bracket Challenge soon as well. Wanna thank Jam Master Sean and Dark Horse John for doing such a great job while I was gone. And speaking of great jobs, I thought Ern totally kicked ass on the website. He’s earned himself a weekly column on the site, if he wants it.

Oh, and no mas Wheel of Terrific at the Troc. El finito. So I am gonna straight chill tonight and do some cleaning, then get ready to return to action manana. Word.
