Right here at home the timing pulled media attention away from the House vote on cap & tax...errr...trade.

Again it is the world populace who continue to control world events due to their selfish need for gossip. Neda's memory put on a back burner. An historical event that we'll not know the truth of , ever, due to MJ tweets. Unconscionable behavior. Now I suppose to the children's future. One that they will need to watch played out publicly as well as their father's idiosyncrasies. Meanwhile, people die, are beaten, return with incredible courage in spite of the easy sofa "we are with you" words. Until Hollywoood calls. I doubt if the MJ tweeters know anything of Cyrus, Darius, the mathematical and philosophic gifts from Persia of which we are beneficiaries. They're too busy downloading. I've lived through too many potential seminal moments brushed aside for notoriety, thank you. And thank you for your editorial.

He was one of US!" Makes you think, eh? If Michael Jackson really was a freak (he was), then what does that make the "Reverend" Al Sharpton . . . and the rest of "them"? Freaks. QED.

Leave real news coverage to real news organizations.(Yes, CNN and Fox News. I am including you guys.) The current sitution in Iran could be the game changer as far as what goes on in the middle east for the next generation, and it is not receiving balanced coverage because of an insane pedophile, who is now bones in a box. Get over it people, he was a talented entertainer with no creativity, hence the "king of pop" that was attached to his name.

I guess I haven't been following events in his life too closely. But that whole sordid chapter of his life is being ignored during the preposterous attempts to make him more significant than he was. But that late chapter is possibly the most interesting, if bizarre, in the story of Jacko's life, so it's no wonder the mainstream media ignored it.

It will. It’s ephemeral, and as artificial as his face. Behind that face was a twisted mind, which we will never understand.

What of his conversion to Islam? Why aren’t the Ayatollahs making more of that?
