>Michael Jackson was an alleged pedophile

Wait. Wasn’t there a civil verdict? Must we still say alleged?

Shep Smith has had his share of man-to-man molestation, methinks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

What? No Prince? Too bad, he and Lionel could have done a duet of ‘Outraaaaageous’…

For those bent on self-flagellation, see if you can find Shepard Smith’s constant commentary that droned on all through the lunch hour.

He loved Jackson so much that you’d think he had been molested by him. Molested by the gift of song.

Maybe Paul McCartney can take rightful possession of the Beatles catalog now.

The Big Wheel and Tri-cycle procession brought me to tears today.

I am embarrassed to be from Houston, the city which that gladhanding, grandstanding Angela Davis wannabe, Congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee (D., Texas) calls home. I cannot for the life of me understand why she was at MJ’s funeral, other than for the global photo-op it was and also because she authored some House Bill honoring Mikey as some entertainment demigod forever and ever and ever, ad nauseum.

She and Reverend (and I use that term loosely) Al Sharpton politicized an event that for starters, should A) NEVER have been broadcast, and B) should have also displayed a bit more dignity. I don’t know of Michael Jackson’s philanthropy. I never knew him; what he was like when the glittered glove went off. In fact, I only cared about his music for a scant year or when I was in Jr. High and that was an incredibly long time ago. That said, I couldn’t shed a tear for Michael. I wanted to find extremely poignant moments in which to emote but save for the brief comments from his daughter which for the first time, painted him in the portrait of ‘father’, a noun usually not used to describe him generally speaking, that I even felt moved to some degree.

But to the point of crying? No.

Michael wasn’t magic. His talent in terms of singing and dancing was acute, but that’s it…at least it was in my opnion. His music didn’t offer the world’s ills, a gleaming, all-access panacea. His death won’t suddenly meld Black and White into a non-descript “can’t we all just get along” gray; nor will his passing stimulate the economy.

But I digress: based on the incredible spike in post mortim album sells, the total dollar value of his estate will be stimulated.

No kidding on that, michele. Honestly.

****He slept with little boys.****

Anyone who can say that Michael Jackson’s TALENT was so great it overshadows this fact is an IDIOT.

The logical inference from this is that children are property. Michael Jackson was “property” to be used by his father, and the children he supposedly had were “property” and now Debbie Rowe is going to “fight for the property.”

It is disgusting. People who idolize him are empty and superficial asshats.

At least Jim Treacher had the right idea on his website.
