In case you were off on a different planet and hadn’t heard the news, Michael Jackson died. It was a tragedy. Not that this piece of human rubbish had died, but that the media, including Fox News, carried on as if it was a major loss to mankind.
This was, one, a man who had tried to turn himself, through weird chemicals and plastic surgery, into a white version of a black man and a male version of Diana Ross. Then, for good measure, he was a pedophile and a loon. But I guess if a person can moon walk, nothing else really matters. Frankly, though, his talent in dancing backwards didn’t seem like such a big deal. Unlike Ginger Rogers, who, as they used to say, could do everything Fred Astaire did, but do it backwards and in high heels, Jackson only managed to do it wearing a lady’s glove.

All I got was a batch of pop-up ads (the pop-up blocker must not be working). But from what you printed here, I just about agree with the writer.
He mentions the mmoonwalk dance. It made me think about th first real moonwalk 40 years ago. Seems to me that there will be a lot less coverage of that anniversary than there has been of Mr. Jackson’s demise. S dhsmr.
I said, "I'm just young and didn't get to have sleep overs when I was a kid."
She said I should knock it off cause it was grossing her out....
Next time somebody yaps on about how "great" this man was.... tell them that. My kids are between the age of 12 and 18 and all four of them got grossed out and then started laughing.... then they got in on the joke asking their friends if it was "Ok for your dad to have boys come over for a sleep over in his bed..." .......same gross out reaction.
The man is dead. I fail to understand why we can’t just drop it.
The people who want to dwell on it are getting their fill so why can’t the ones of us who are tired of it just ignore the story and focus on important things?
Please read the rest of the article. It covers a lot more than just Jackson.
Doesn’t the ‘non’ in nonsense, mean there is no sense?
He was a pedophile and a loon,no matter he was black the msm is pimping the black thing like in the 60’s because obama is on office note most tv and print ads however nobody cares.
Come on Burt, stop sugar coating and tell us how you really feel.
Thats right, July 69, what day was it on?
July 20. I remember it was during the night. My terminally ill grandmother was living with my folks and me at the time. She was in terrible pain and the medication made her sleep all the time. She gave up her medication in order to be awake to see the landing. Grandma passed on a few months later, and I was proud of the fact she did get to see the moon landing.
I recall we wanted to go to my grandparents to watch the moon landing on their large color TV, we only had black & white. We asked our father, who had worked about 16 hours straight, to take us, about three miles away. He said, not in a jovial manner, “Do you have to go over there for every little thing that comes on TV??!!” He eventually took us.
Great story. Thanks.
