What is all this BS over the Jackson Family?!?!?! Michael Jackson was a troubled talent. Personally I will go to my grave believing that he was a pedophile. And I know I am not alone on that. If one has enough money, justice can be subverted. All we heard before he died (at his own and Dr. Murray's hand) was how deeply in debt he was. Now all we hear about is how the Jackson family is at war over Michael's money! What money?!?!? And does America really give a damn about it? Do I really need to hear about what boils down to a family dispute? No!!!!! There are a few sick individuals who try to live through the sad state of affairs in the tabloids of the celebrities they idolize. That is all this is: TABLOID NEWS! The economy is within a hair's breath of another recession. Korea and Iran are unstable countries with NUCLEAR possibilities! Maybe the President cares about the Jackson Saga, he certainly doesn't give a damn about anything else! But this bullshit doesn't deserve national news attention. Intelligent folks in America are worried about foreclosure and jobs. Get a clue, America! No matter how Michael Jackson's estate is divvied up, no matter who gets the kids...it will not put food on your table. It will not help the millions of missing and exploited children in our country. HLN, ABC, and the rest: find something more relevant to report on for those of us who don't give a rat's ass about the Jackson family!!!!

The economy SUCKS!

We all know it. Some have a closer first hand look than others. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly constantly berate those on disability and food stamps. It's not that MOST people want food stamps or disability. I'm sure most would like good health and a decent job. Personally, I do like to eat once in awhile. Obama hasn't helped the economy he inherited. Ol' W dropped a bundle on 2 wars and HE didn't even get Bin Laden. He was more interested in Saddam because, as he said himself, Saddam threatened his daddy. He sent our men and women into 2 wars that were morally and financially wrong. He wasn't watching Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac and we ALL got blindsided by the resulting collapse. AIG was partying big on taxpayer money while Wall Street was spiraling into a deep hole. But both White House residents were willing to pony up more money. Government offices have also had their hands in the cookie jar. I will never get to Hawaii. Will you? The people in my family on disability ARE really DISABLED!!! Surprise, surprise! Rent and every other living expense has gone up. I can't afford to fill up my used van because that little 20 gallon tank would STILL cost me roughly $75. And I DON"T HAVE IT! Well, I could fill it up....if I wanted to live in it. I've said it before and I will KEEP saying it until someone listens. If we paid our elected officials what they have determined is a "living wage" for us, took away their perks and cars and planes, this country would be operating in the black almost immediately. I have seen a politician worth $100 a week, much less $100 K a year. And why do they want any pay at all from the taxpayers? Most of them are wealthy already with offshore account, etc..
