Really

I respect and admire Michael Jackson as much as anyone. Meaning…I acknowledge like everyone else that the man had talent! He could dance and sing like nobody’s business! But, he was also a drug-addict, lived beyond his means and skirted the law because of his fame.
Had he be you or I, we’d be in jail a long time ago.

So, on the third day of around-the-clock coverage I just have to say that we idolize some freaky people!

If only we idolized the people who are working to cure cancer, keeping the streets safe or the people who feed the hungry or the myriad of other choices instead, huh?

I grew up with Michael and I am truly saddened by the loss his family and friends are going through but his fans were never as close to him as they are now! Even MJ jokes are suddenly inappropriate! Great! And, Michael can finally be at peace with who he is! Great!

We have issues with North Korea threatening to wipe us off the map while we have a popular and entertaining president in office who is floundering like crazy and a questionable-beyond-belief cabinet!

We have the Iran hierarchy ordering the execution of their opponents and Afghanistan officials inviting the Taliban to vote in their upcoming election!

We are going to be blind-sided by one of the biggest tax increases in history and we still have troops fighting on foreign soil!
We’re going to hell in a hand-basket!
Wake the hell up!
This ain’t heaven, Man!Snap out of it!
