Posion Pen was the original name of Chino XL's latest album... he changed it though to I Told You So. Poison Pen is the perfect name for a hip-hop album, if you ask me....

I love a good poisoned pen. I have two faves of mine: an open letter to Coolweb hosting and a screed for Eric Gillin. What I love best is these get lots of hits from people looking for these subjects, so my little message lives on and on...

I do wonder that I wrote them within a few days of one another. It must have been some crappy week.

The poison-tipped dart is mightier than the poison pen.

It depends on what you want to accomplish. For example, I have always not-so-secretly wished that Rod Stewart would disappear from the airwaves. If he were merely to die, I'd have to hear more of him as every radio station in the country played tributes and put his dreck into heavy rotation. On the other hand, if he were publicly accused of raping underage livestock, I'd never have to suffer his nasty voice again. Sometimes the pen is mightier than the dart.
