Happy Holidays From Blottered!

Blottered would like to wish you all a few merry couple days of vacation. In honor of the season, and so on, let us raise our badges and pistols to the sky and unleash a torrent of ribbons and things like that. Let us all be jolly and yet remember that, although the season is surely merry for most of us, one troubled Hollywood celebrity is not "feeling Santa" this year:

An Los Angeles Police Department undercover operation to break down the
drug trade in the city's skid row yielded 14 arrested on Thursday (Dec. 22)
including troubled actor Brad Renfro.
According to the Los Angeles Times the
officers dressed as scruffy pushers, working balloons of fake heroin along
Spring and 6th streets in downtown LA. Using the code "Cancel Christmas" to
alert follow officers, they were reportedly busting people every 5 to 10
minutes.
The 23-year-old actor got his big break in 1994 as the young star
of "The Client." He's also had lead roles in films including "Apt Pupil,"
"Bully" and "Telling Lies in America." He was most recently seen in a supporting
part in "The Jacket."

Being a searing Hollywood wunderkind doesn't just mean pockets filled with lint, it means your Christmas gets "cancelled", so, please, along with myself, and six or so people who remember the ebullient boyhood Nazi-fantasy and Stephen King story "Apt Pupil" take a few seconds to toast Brad with a cup of Egg Nog, and perhaps, if you go that way, a drippy syringe filled with skid row nougat.

May your holiday be littered with iPods given to you by family members, and your alcohol levels remain at pre-deadly levels.
