Michael Jackson has been rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, police confirmed to FOX News Thursday. The legendary singer, 50, reportedly went into cardiac arrest and had to receive CPR in the ambulance, according to a report from TMZ. Joe Jackson, his father, told multiple news sources that his son is not doing well. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, paramedics responded to a 911 call at around 12:26 p.m. PDT. He was reportedly not breathing at the time of their arrival. A rep for Jackson was unavailable for comment.

That is still a matter of opinion. Barack Obama is popular too, it is the same form of insanity. Jackson does not rank anywhere near the top on a list of great musicians.

“He was a great singer and songwriter and that is what he should be remembered for.”

Reminds me of the joke about the Lebanese farmer:

This Lebanese farmer walks into the neighborhood pub, and orders a beer.

“Ya see that fence over there?” he says to the bartender. “I built it with me own two hands! Dug up the holes with me shovel, chopped doon the trees for the posts by me ownself, laid every last rail! But do they call me ‘Sadi the Fence-Builder?’ No...”

He gulps down the beer and orders another. “Ye see that pier on the loch?” He continues, “I built it myownself, too. Swam oot into the river to lay the foondations, laid doon every single board! But do they call me ‘Sadi the Pier-Builder?’ No.”

“But ye f!ck ONE sheep....”

No, but he is probably the world's most famous entertainer and that's something. He will be treated more respectfully than a child molester deserves simply because he was so well known and so d@mned weird.

It has been a very long time since any great music was composed.

Yep. Quality craftsmanship is gone even if there are occasional blips of creativity here and there but not much.

The last photos of the children showed them without masks.

Sadly, this might be the best thing for them but I can only pray for them.

The man was a sick perverted slimy creature.
