The King is Dead (and buried thank goodness)




Well....not quite buried yet, but at least by the end of this day he will be. Then let the real games begin.

A $25,000 gold plated casket.

A motorcade of 10 Rolls Royces, 3 Cadillac Escalades and 10 all black Range Rovers.

11,000 people who won golden tickets to this decades greatest show on earth. (the farewell to Michael Jackson).

Various and sundry celebrities and politicians present to have their photos made in front of the back drop of a Hollywood drama at it's best.

Priceless? No. Sickening IMO.

Twelve days after the death of Michael Jackson, the first act of the big top never land circus is finally drawing to an end and the legal wrangling over the estate begins in earnest.

I say good riddance, I am sick of seeing it and hearing about it.

We have lost 13 valiant young men in Afghanistan since Michael Jackson died. Who mourns for them other than their families. What networks stopped the world to report of their passing as real America heroes.

The answer is self evident. And the answer is sad IMO.

No one cares about them. The average American would rather swoon over some emotionally conflicted and drug addicted celebrity, than recognize the life and passing of those that truly matter.
