AROUND THE BLOGS

Excerpts from Wednesday's blog posts:

Link of the Week: Hauntedweb of Horrors thememphisblog.com

The great thing about a lot of the haunted houses around this season, is that most of them seem to trend towards supporting a positive community group. This week's Link of the Week is no exception. As an added bonus... it looks scary as hell.

The Hauntedweb of Horrors has two foreboding options, Dark Matter and Torment. Either one looks scary enough to frighten the pumpkin socks off of most anyone. Funds collected will help support Youth Villages. Make it out there if you can this week, and enjoy your Halloween festivities.

Trial delayed again for alleged Palin e-mail hacker David Kernell linkstomemphis.com

Pro-Sarah Palin blogger Josh Painter points out that the trial of David Kernell, who is accused of illegally accessing the Republican vice presidential candidate's Yahoo e-mail account in the heat of last year's presidential campaign, has been delayed again, this time until April 20, 2010. The politically charged trial has been delayed before, most recently after federal prosecutors doubled down on the case with additional charges including obstruction of justice, wire fraud and identity theft. Most recently, the trial was to begin Tuesday.

Kernell is the son of Rep. Mike Kernell, a longtime Democratic state House member from Memphis.
