Kirk Douglas, Blogger

I was intrigued when I read this Reuters story about Kirk Douglas blogging at age 92. The entries are relatively short, but certainly thoughtful and about far more than fluff. If you're interested, you can see his MySpace page here.

Man Gets Scratched for Scratching Sentence

Ah, the foolish temptation to fix a piece of paper for your own benefit. An Arkansas man had received a $650 fine and four-day jail sentence for hazardous driving with a suspended license. The judge told him to turn in to the clerk his notice of the sentence. So the man allegedly had a clever idea: scratch off the jail sentence. Only, someone saw him. Now he's facing yet another charge -- tampering with a public record. Beware when the eraser seems mightier than the pen, or you could end up in the pen.
