Charlie Sheen is 45 and his story is all over the news because he is a substance abuser, an adulterer, sexually promiscuous and obnoxious.

Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because she is a celebrity drug addict and thief.

Something as frivolous as Kim Kardashian's stupid wedding [and short-lived marriage] was shoved down our throats, While........

Justin Allen 23 - Brett Linley 29 - Matthew Weikert 29 - Justus Bartett 27
Dave Santos 21 -- Jesse Reed 26 - Matthew Johnson 21 - Zachary Fisher 24
Brandon King 23 - Christopher Goeke 23 - and Sheldon Tate 27...

Are all Marines that gave their lives last month for you. There is no media for them; not even a mention of their names.

There are preliminary reports that crying out Whitney Houston’s name near a cemetery will raise the dead. It is a verified fact that the sick have been cured, the blind see, the deaf hear, lepers stop rotting when a picture of Houston is touched to the effected parts.

We live in a world that is twisted by the media into fantasy. The average American can tell you who won 'American Idol', and cannot name a single congresscriter or senator.

The American people had better wake up and pull their collective heads out before our freedom is gone.

The liberals and leftists are steeling our nation.

Every time I go to Yahoo , there is Whitney Houston.

I have had about enough Whitney Houston.

She was a fine singer, She destroyed her life with dope, Now she is dead. Nuff said. Piss Poor role Model IMO.

i watched a little bit of this as its been all over the channels here in NY...i listened to the Church’s pastor speak and i thought to myself, “How in God’s name do these people ever consider voting for demoKrats??”

the pastor talked about self-responsibility, the fact God wants all people to prosper, Godliness, respect, hard work...

and I’m thinking these people will probably vote for the same POS they voted for in ‘08, who represents none of that...

"Media," what's that? Is anything lavished on the likes of those people you mentioned, and not lavished on Marines, worth being terribly concerned about?

Can't be worth much.

I agree. This is such a tragic story given her talent and all her promise. May she rest in peace at last.

The only time the media "lavish" attention on our military is when they can cast them in a negative light--like those who peed on corpses. THEN we hear about it non-stop for days.

The media is a whore to the Dems, and a cold-fish to those who value "honor, duty, country."

And, of course, Jessie Jackson was front and almost center through the whole funeral.

I heard some of the whining while trying to find something other than the seemingly non-stop Whitney Houston coverage. The crowds of people complaining because they spent their money buying her CDs and how they lover her too and how they prayed for her and how she’s “their’s.” It was a perfect illustration of just how much complaining and entitlement is entrenched in the urban culture.

——As three limos pulled out of the funeral home with a police escort fans were pushed away and moved up the street behind barricades. According to CBS 2’s Christine Sloan, that’s when tempers started to flare.

-“I’m a taxpayer in the city … born and raised in this city … They should stop treating us like animals. We’re taxpayers … We made this lady who she is today,” resident Floyd Bishop said.-——

Good Lord...have these people no shame at all.....because you are a taxpayer you have a “right” to crash a private funeral .....

Do you wish to see the arrival of the coffins at Dover that the MSM was once so proud to display and all of us here condemned as being a politicization of the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan?

Do you wish to see the families of the fallen soldiers hounded daily by the MSM, with cameras being thrust into their faces and camera crews scattered all around the funeral ceremonies? I don't and I suspect they don't either.

Leave them alone and stop wishing for something they don't want..........

USS Whitney Houston .... it will come.

She had a great voice, she was a drug addict and now she’s dead.

~The End~

I’m sure they’ll be able to move, say, the Veteran’s Day holiday to WH’s birthday in NJ....
