Better days

Pop star Michael Jackson dead: report – washingtonpost.com — FYI. An odd tragic figure.

Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and went on to set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music for decades, died Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.

“We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died,” TMZ said.

“Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back,” the entertainment site said.

There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.

    There are two types of people in the world today: You guys listening to MJ now & those of us for whom child sex predation is a deal-breaker.

    I am not saying the guy does not deserve a 1/2 hr retrospective or something, but multiple day, wall-to-wall, comparisons to 9/11…bit much

    I loved Thriller, back in the day, but regardless, nobody deserves this much focus, nobody.

    Let’s quickly refocus on the issues and bring them to center stage…

    Any update on South Carolina GOP Governor Mark Sanford?

    Did he apologize to Pres Clinton for being a prick and hypocrite?

    Has he done any hail mary’s for lying to our lord Jesus Christ for 10 years?

    He is an elected public official and these things need to be aired out on the basis of hypocrisy, not morality.

    THE ONLY THING… this NON-ISSUE-(his death) has done, is kept the insanity that is the WORLD CHANGING CAP AND TRADE CO2 BILL that just passed in the house,
    from being headline news.

    yeah, yeah, jackson touched all of us.. BIG F’n DEAL… if this BILL passes to law,

    your 3-4x increase on your monthly energy costs..will be the direct result of this bill’s passage..

    (the switchboard was shut down in people
    calling in against it..)

    just great..

    PS

    coupled with a USD on life support, everything produced will cost 3-10x more now.

    The tradition is to die on the toilet.

    Put my money on the kitchen.

    MICHAEL THE NARC-ANGEL

    Millions of little members of the worldwide F.F.A. (Future Followers of the Antichrist) have finally learned how to find a certain part of their lower anatomy and quickly touch it while dancing – thanks to Michael Jackson, the highest paid Lower Anatomy Toucher of all time! Special thanks also go to the Jesus-bashing, Hell-bound Hollywood moguls who were just as quick to see higher profits in lower anatomies! [Just saw this opinion on the web. Other grabby items on MSN, Google, etc. include “Separation of Raunch and State,” “David Letterman’s Hate, Etc.,” “Tribulation Index becomes Rapture Index,” and “Bible Verses Obama Avoids.” – something for everyone!]
