on this day in lohan history

Michael Lohan prison art

August 22, 2006. On this day in Lohan History, Lindsay’s dirtbag father somehow got this artistic masterpiece of his out from behind prison walls and into the hands of US Weekly. He was in the middle of serving a sentence for drunk driving, contempt of court and, of course, beating his brother-in-law with a shoe. In a letter accompanying this drawing, he admitted that he had made some “stupid decisions.”

Oh, and this thing has a title: “The Spiritual Realities and Physical Elements of the Truth Behind This Whole Situation.” As to why US Weekly didn’t offer him a position on staff as prison cartoonist is anyone’s guess.
