Daddy Jackson says:
"Someone should pay. Not just someone but all of them should pay that's involved"
Yes, you read that correctly, Joe Jackson said on the Today show that someone should pay for Michael's death. Actually not just someone but all of them. I find the operative word here being them. Certainly he shouldn't pay right? I mean the fact that he abused the hell out of his kids and robbed them of a childhood wouldn't have contributed in any way to Michael growing up to be an addict.
Clearly the link between abuse in childhood with addiction in adulthood is irrelevant here. It is so obvious that Michael was a perfectly well adjusted man right up to the point where the door to door doctor/prescription pusher knocked on his door. I mean what has the world come to? Is that the "new" health care? "We come to you with signed RX pads And act now for this "universal" health care bonus, just kick back in front of the tele while we administer iv meds, once only available in hospitals and prison restrooms.
In truth, the doctors in this case were unscrupulous however, Michael Jackson sought them out. He was friends with doctors who would not prescribe him these meds so he went looking for those who would. But wake the hell up big Daddy Jackson your son was a very sick man, he refused help and interventions. Ultimately he was a grown man and made some very poor decisions. I loved Michael Jackson and I think this is a tremendous loss. I would like to believe that Mr. Joe Jackson is saying someone should pay meaning lose their medical license but sadly, it looks to me like he is trying to get more money from his son.
As an aside, his children have paid the ultimate price and to fire their nanny when she was the only continuity they had is unforgivable. In this matter, you people seriously SUCK!!!
Enjoy this historic video and the very serious tone of the announcer. BTW they troops were given LSD. Ya know with Gitmo on the way out, I imagine it would be hard to organize terrorist acts with this "medicine"
I'm just saying.
So there are reports about
suicidal cows and scientists cannot figure out why they do it. I am pretty sure they listened to some of the ridiculous commentary during Senator Kennedy's funeral and they decided they could not take anymore. Seriously, the newscasters were ridiculous. It started the night he died. The clip they played was the same one they played for JFKJ but then another minute added to the end referring to Teddy. The man had
brain cancer for 14 months, you could not have thrown a little something together in that amount of time? Then during the funeral the commentary was pathetic at best. Perhaps henceforth news reporters should refer to themselves as "Not original All of the time." Case in point...as Mrs. Kennedy returns to the limo, "The Kennedy's are truly eloquent with these things, funerals. pause ......(I know what is coming, I know you do too but no they couldn't really....yup they could) "Sadly, because they have had to do it so often" (eloquent? The woman took a seat in a limo) or there was this insightful one "Ahh how many times have we seen the Kennedy procession coming down Constitution avenue to their final resting place?" I mean sure 3 Kennedy's have been buried there (4 now) but this guy makes it sound like he is reminiscing his childhood "How many times have I seen the good humor truck." And then the endless commentary about how people were there because of a love of politics, yeah all 10 of those guys. The rest, the vast majority were there because it was history, the end of an era.
Truthfully, it is sad. Rest in peace.

I received this in an email. This eloquent "obituary" sums up a lot for me. Enjoy !
Sad but true.
My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by. Today I read his obituary. Please join me for a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense has served us all so well for so many generations.
Obituary Common Sense
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't legally defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm a Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
The Times Union reports that former Rep. John Sweeney is fighting against his second DWI. Apparently, he received his second DWI which in Saratoga county is a felony. Well his lawyer feels it is disproportionate to the crime and therefore unfair to him because he is a lawyer and with a felony he would lose his license to practice. I believe this is a "bitter" moment for me and
so here I go......
In some countries he would have been put to death, in some instances that may be seen as disproportionate. He could certainly have afforded a cab or had his chauffer drive him. What is his excuse for driving? (He doesn't sound like a very bright lawyer).
However, ruining his career would probably lead him to drown his sorrows over losing his career and his chauffeur to boot. By this time, he probably couldn't afford a cab so he would drive drunk which apparently he does not do
well, that would most likely lead to an accident and to someone being hurt, (hopefully just him) he would probably wrap his car around a tree but the only injury suffered would be a dislocated knuckle.
Yeah only too bad for the judge and jury who gave him a felony conviction. All because of
them he became a raging alcoholic just as he was about to make it big in hand modeling. With his disfigured knuckle he can kiss that lucrative career goodbye, most likely
forcing him to sue the judge and everyone else in the US for making him more of an alcoholic than he already was. He would go to trial before some "fair and just" judge and a jury of his peers (straight off the wagon as it were) and bam he gets awarded 2.8 billion dollars for the loss of his perfect hand and the discrimination against the "libationally challenged"
