I have no idea who has the Beer Lover’s ping list, but that quote should go out to them.

Michael Jackson is dead?!

No he's not, he served me breakfast at the IHOP. The cook, Elvis, was great, hardly any egg shells in my scrambled eggs.

Elvis, he wasn't. Nor was he Sam Cooke, James Brown or Otis. None of that matters to his fans, nor should it. But a sense of perspective is in order.

You could wait till the man is buried before you drag over the British tabloid pukes that sold millions of copies of their garbage making a freak out of him. They published every lie they could think of and now say, "He wasn't even that great."

Dancing on the grave of this poor man is not journalism. It is, of course, the Daily Mail.

Who?

The Sheriff of Prince George's County, MD. A good guy to work for if you're a cop who likes to shoot dogs.

It’s a reference to a well-known incident from a couple of years ago in Portsmouth when a bunch of knuckle-dragging chavs gathered into a lynchmob and attacked a registered paedeatrician’s house, because the collective IQ of the mob barely reached double figures, and they just saw the ‘paed’ in the lady’s title and assumed it stood for ‘paedo’....

And oh, BTW, what is with these damn idiot mothers who took their kids to see MJ and encouraged them? I like Lydia Lunch and whatshisname Blavatski, you know the poet one, not the Theosophist one although I thought she was definitely entertaining, but I would never have taken my kids to see him, what with him being a freakazoid. Heck, I even like the Sex Gang Children, but Boy George, can you believe people were dressing their little boys up like him and what kind of sicko would do that my God some people are whacked!

I believe that it's an indication of how naive and easily fooled so many people are.  Because someone is heralded as a great performer and perhaps is able to produce a few tunes that they like,  many people become starstruck and dispense with any and all normal wariness that good parents have when allowing their children to interact with strangers.  Magnifying that in this case is the issue of race, which to many self-loathing white liberals means that a black man with huge international stardom is not only someone whom they will trust completely and without reservation of any kind but is someone whom they will make any extra effort to accommodate, being passionately eager as they are to demonstrate to themselves and their friends how non-racist they are.  Being able to say "Yes, I left my children with Michael Jackson for the weekend, isn't it wonderful?" is akin to saying "I'm not a racist and this proves it" for some.  I have met several white women who in a moment of honesty told me that they dated black men merely to make a statement to their friends about how liberal and non-racist they are.  And for the lurkers with the chips on their shoulders, no, I'm not saying that "ALL" white women who date black men are that way.  It is, however, an absolute fact that I have met several who have said that they had done just that.

Being starstruck also will cause many people to overlook wrongdoing, regardless of the scale and regardless of the severity.  We've all seen it with the Clintons, who can commit any illegal act and even violate the law to the point of a Presidential impeachment, but they will always have their legions of adoring fans who rush to explain away the transgressions and cover for them in any way, even to the point of 'falling on the sword' themselves.  We saw it with O.J. Simpson, where mountains of evidence were pooh-poohed by his adoring fans who screamed "RACIST" at the proceedings against him from day one and to this day truly believe that he is indeed searching for the 'real killers'.

Maybe they should have a contest like they did with the Young Elvis/ Old, Fat Elvis postage stamp.

Should the mortician make a Young Jacko or an Old, Mr. Potato Head Jacko?

Hi stoat ‘
I have been away and will be on and off but please do not stop posting me on such topics.

I agree to in what you said

I have been in GA and came across a bozo cultist.
When they heard my accent they wanted to know about health care etc but as soon as I said that Bozo is not liked like she thinks in Europe and that health care in the UK is crap she left me with a tantrum

Hello manc!
It’s great to know that you’re happy and well :-)

It’s unfortunate that the woman you spoke to was so rude to you, but for many (most?) liberals, they are unable to deal with facts that run counter to liberal / leftist dogma because for a great many they have replaced religion in their lives with liberal / leftist politics. Belief in their dogma is a matter of faith and so they don’t know how to deal with contrary views....all of their friends are liberals, the ‘news’ media that they tune in to is exclusively liberal and they probably don’t know any Conservatives at all. A Conservative viewpoint is just as alien to many of them as Satanism is to us, and they are unable to manifest any response other than getting angry, shouting and running away. It’s an indication of their intellectual weakness and of the strength and truth of what you said. I’m only sorry that you were treated rudely because you deserve far better than that. Best wishes to you and yours and thank you for bringing some truth, logic and sense to some of the braindead Left, even if they don’t understand it :-)
