Michael Jackson's death, a nice diversion

Michael Jackson is gone. Well, not quite. His final concert is Tuesday I guess. I am not going, not even going to watch it on TV. What I am doing today is looking for a new homepage. CNN.com just plain sucks. They seems to try really hard to get the bogus election in Iran in the hearts and on the minds of Americans. Nobody seemed to care. People at work were not talking about it around the water cooler. Honduras ousted their bogus president. Still no talk.

Then Jacko died. On CNN.com, there was still a little special coverage on Iran. Not anymore. Wall-to-wall MJ. Cut to CNN programming meeting...

...
When is his birthday? We will need a special tribute on his birthday.
...
Oh, oh, next month will be the anniversary of his former father-in-law. Maybe we can do a joint tribute?
That's a great idea.
...

Give the people what they want. Yeah, sure, OK. They are hypnotized and can not see what is coming.

What is the big news in the USA on this July 4 eve? How Obama is going to screw us with the crap and tirade energy bill, socialized medicine, and economic shambles.
I think this sums it up nicely.
But who cares? Didn't you hear that Michael Jackson died?!

The Republic Endures, but probably not much longer.
