Jackson's remains

Well, I seldom blog more than twice a month these days, so NOW to drop my thoughts on you twice in one day....

Here goes!

The whole Michael Jackson spectacle makes my skin crawl in so many ways! First, who really cared anything at all about MJ until he kicked it? I mean, he'd been forced underground essentially, called "Whacko," and marginalized in every way imaginable. Of course, he brought most of it on himself by turning himself in a clown, but who really knows what the underlying cause of THAT was? The irony is the whole circus that came after his untimely demise!

Now I read that no one will know where MJ's remains will be interred. I don't think anyone really cares at this point, do they? I mean, will there be live cameras and opportunities for free pub at the gravesite?

I didn't think so! Don't worry, then! The "King of Pop" will remain forever undisturbed regardless of where you put him!

How many so-called "black leaders" showed up to pay tribute? The "never saw a camera I didn't like" Representative from Houston, Shirley Jackson-Lee even showed up! For what? Maybe it was just an invitation to everyone with "Jackson" in their name (or so it seems; Jesse, Shirley, Andrew; ALL the Jacksons were there!), but I suspect that the opportunity for a little free pub was the main reason. So sad!

I'm sorry, did I say "free?"

That's part II of what upsets me about the whole deal! I mean, if you're Michael Jackson's family, with millions of dollars at your disposal to have a remembrance ANYWHERE you'd like, why choose the one place in the nation that simply cannot afford your presence? The opportunity to host the MJ memorial circus cost LA a reported 1.4 MILLION dollars! See! I told you that Andrew Jackson showed up! 70,000 thousand of the bills with his likeness went flying out the window to fund the debacle!

Incomprehensible!

I guess the main thing, though, is the total hypocrisy involved! Here's a guy that NOBODY cared anything about for the longest time and now that he ostensibly did us all a favor and went away, EVERYBODY loved the guy! What a bunch of hypocrites! If you care about someone, show them while they're still alive to enjoy it, NOT afterward!

You phonies didn't care anything about Michael Jackson; all you care about is the photo op!

Losers!
