Well, due to an overwhelming lack of a better idea, my Scariest Person of 2009 is … Michael Jackson! This Jackson-o-lantern was based on Michael’s infamous mug shot. I know this guy’s not really scary, but he did sing Thriller, became ghostly pale, and now he’s made one of the top grossing music documentaries of all time, and he’s dead!!! Ahhhhh!!!! Still the greatest entertainer of all time, even from beyond the grave!

Now for some news that really is scary… I recently cut my hair! Yes, I know I’ll lose my talent as a radio producer until my ponytail grows back, but it was for a good cause. I donated my hair to Locks of Love, a non-profit that makes real human-hair wigs for children suffering from medically-caused hair loss. If you’re also looking to chop off your ponytail, it’s easy to donate. Go to www.locksoflove.org for more information.

Well, Fall is in the air, Halloween approaches and its time to pick 2009’s Scariest Person of the Year! The chosen person will have the distinct dishonor of getting his/her grimace carved into a jack-o-lantern by yours truly.
So should it be Glenn Beck? He sure managed to get the good people of Mount Vernon all riled up when he recently came to visit.
Or is Kanye West the spookiest public figure in the news? Kim Komando was calling him “the most hated man on the Internet” due to the chatter over his recent conduct at the MTV music awards.
Or do you have a better idea?
