for the squeamish! I probably SHOULDN'T recomend this slowly-growing
site full of pix of the dead and famous, including crime scene shots, and
its links to www.rotten.com, but if you've always been curious about the
condition of the Lindbergh baby and want to see what a nice ukelele Tiny
Tim was buried with, hey, what can I say? Actually, some of the pix on www.rotten.com are
even MORE temptingly repellent, and some of the peculiar news stories on www.rotten.com
are far more bizarre than "News of the Wierd"

"budget cuts"--- but yeah, it was PERSONAL, all right), cantankerous liberal, with a simple
unpretentious website unlikely to freeze your computer. No on-site pix, but one link to a really nice painting of Herself. Still, chock-full of current alternative news stories she culls personally, sometimes ahead of Matt Drudge.
