Apparently, 24 years ago, Dan Rather talked (about) "smack" with Ladies' Home Journal:

Everyone mentioned his groundbreaking performance hanging onto a tree during Hurricane Carla. Not many mentioned the time he had the Houston Police Department shoot him up with heroin.

Rather talked about the incident 24 years ago in an interview in the Ladies' Home Journal, of all places. "As a reporter -- and I don't want to say that that's the only context -- I've tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD," he said. "I've never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas."

Wow. What is the frequency, Kenneth?

Damn. The only thing the DC Metro Cops ever administer to me is pepper spray.

Thanks to reader Toby Marcell, who adds:

"... and do I expect Dan's final sign-off to end with his bolting up from his chair, stripped to the waist, screaming, 'I AM THE LIZARD KING!'?

yes, yes I do."
