Onward Christian Meth-Head

I am literally laughing my ass off about this one. I just utterly love it when the religious-right designates a new poster-child for their cause and then the curtains are pulled back to reveal the truth. You may not remember this, as our collective societal consciousness only seems to recall events going back a month or two, but in March of this year a young Caucasian woman was taken hostage by, egads, a colored man and the story splashed across every news network for weeks afterwards. Now she's released her book, which may prove to be a tad too real to continue her appeal to the Thumpers backing her. Full story is here... Jage

Ashley Smith, the woman held hostage for hours after the March 11 Fulton County Courthouse shootings, reveals in a book released today that she gave alleged gunman Brian Nichols drugs on the night he held her captive.

Smith, 27, was thrust into a national media spotlight after talking her way out of Nichols' captivity and then calling police. In "Unlikely Angel: The Untold Story of the Atlanta Hostage Hero," Smith shares details of her seven-hour ordeal as a hostage in her Duluth apartment, and for the first time tells of giving Nichols drugs.

Nichols asked her for marijuana, she writes, but she had only a small amount of crystal methamphetamine. She thought offering him the drug might curry favor, but she says she refused to take the drug with him.

"I was not going to die tonight and stand before God, having done a bunch of ice up my nose," she writes. (Jage is again ROTFLMAO!!)
