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.

Monty Python references get special rules, I think.

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.

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.

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.

I'll just remind everyone that when Stephanie Tubbs Jones was reported to be slumped over her car steering wheel at midnight, they didn't report that she had died of a brain aneurysm until the next morning.

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...

Legendary "King of Pop" Michael Jackson reportedly died today from cardiac arrest today. He was 50.

Jackson was taken to UCLA Medical Center by LA Fire Department paramedics after getting a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. local time.

He was not breathing when they arrived and had no pulse, TMZ.com reported on its Web site.

Michael's father, Joe Jackson, said he had been alerted to the emergency but didn't have any additional details.

"I am in Las Vegas, but yes, people in Los Angeles called me and are with Michael and tell me he was taken to the hospital," the elder Jackson told E! News.

"His mother is on her way to the hospital now to check in on him. I am not sure what's wrong. I am waiting to hear back from them."............
