All I can think of, is that we are going to see a media blitz on networks like Fox like we have never seen. If you thought Anna Nicholle was bad, geez.
I always thought he was a screwed up man who had way too much and didn’t handle it. That said, prayers. Death is a sad business for the lost. Only God knows his heart and mind.
He was most likely already dead when they found him.
Thriller!
Monty Python references get special rules, I think.
Maybe he is alive and its just his career that is dead.
I was just telling someone that Mark Sanford must be thanking his lucky pop stars for this monster story to push him off the news.
If he is alive I’ll be surprised. International Press are already reporting his demise.

No, he’s dead.
Did the guys in the ambulance draw straws to see who was going to give him CPR???? ;)
If he’s still alive but not breathing as is also being reported and confirmed by medical personnel, then we may have an interesting story indeed.
Farrah Fawcett , Sky Saxon and MJ in the same day ?
Unlikely, if they got his heart started again, they would first need to do a neurological workup to determine if he is brain dead.
So anyone know if he is or isnt? I’m seeing very conflicting stories on various news sources.
Good One!!!! There is Monty Python reference in every story. You just have to find it ...
Sometimes, they want to wait to get the family affairs in order, get them assembled before the media frenzy begins, etc.

Cap and tax will be the largest tax increase in history, and it will affect every American. The death of Michael Jackson will have no effect on those of us outside his immediate family...
Well Drudge has the siren up so he must be dead.
