Excerpted

[tuffydoodle]

Don’t forget Bea Arthur and David Carradine.

[Melpomene]

Cardiac arrest, according to TMZ.

[stentorian conservative]

Poor Iran. They just lost any hope they had. As for MJ?

See ya!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Rest in Peace. A troubled soul. Prayers for the family.

Amen. He was the man who had everything and found it empty and wanting.

I really do hope he found God before he left this world.

Folks--our lives do NOT consist of the things we have...money, material goods, fame, power, women (or men), nothing will go with us into eternity.

My belief, from what I know of her last days, is that Farrah went with Christ. Michael, I do not know.

Remember, my FRiends, please remember:

Only one life, will soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last

Trajic day.....such talent he had....I’m shocked...

Fox reported he died at 5:42PM EST.

He was a lucky guy in life.

He got away with some heinious activities .... .

Thing is most end of life events cause cardiac arrest, if it happens out of hospital there are many things which can stop your heart.

[Jet Jaguar]

No doubt.

Will Democrats use this distraction to push through the energy tax?

[califamily4W]

Siren on Drudge as well.

Must be a Fred Phelps.
His debt to the house is paid in full.
RIP Mr Jackson.

[Jedidah]

Inappropriate.

Keep your vile to yourself.

[Varda]

Hopefully those poor kids he had in his possession will be able to be raised by someone normal.

“Spooky thing is that a Freeper predicted this morning that MJ would die today!”

That post was the first thing i thought when i heard the news.

[mellow velo]

I never thought he'd see old age. I had him pegged for a suicide, though.

He became a sad character in his adult life.

Unfortunately, the circus surrounding what's left of his money will begin.

[RichInOC]

But was he shot dead in front of a live studio audience?

(Obscure techno music reference, in case you’re wondering.)

[lewisglad]

so he’s not in hell now?

[Jewbacca]

“What caused the cardiac arrest?”

He thought he was the only one for Gov. Sanford.

Farrah Fawcett I was expecting would die. This is a surprise.

Such a shame the way his life went, he was very talented.
