And speaking of the Manson Family, August 9th is the 40th anniversary of the Manson murders that took place at the Tate-Polanski house.

CNN and Life have been posting stories about the Manson family. I remember seeing Helter Skelter as a kid and being totally freaked out.

Hulu.com has a Biography episode about the Manson women that I watched last night. As they did back in the footage from 1969, they look pretty normal (well, Fromme was always kinda scary to me, loopy) and benign yet those murders were freakin' gruesome. They are fighting for their release, but I don't think that will ever happen. The documentary had the footage of Fromme pointing her gun at Ford. It could have been quite gory had it been loaded.
