News of the Week ....
Michael Jackson has a type of funeral.
I don't understand how such a close knit family, with such close friends, didn't notice the intravenous bag hanging by his bed, or all the needle marks. So much for the close family and friends we have heard so much about. They seem to be closer now, concerned about the estate, some JUICY information about his children, and who their father really is, and maybe, just maybe, someone will have to answer for his death.
Billy Mays, Jr., that was a real tragedy. He was just starting to live the good life, was helping people realize their dreams, loved his family, he was the Pitchman's Pitchman, he was excellent at what he did.
Obama's kids seem to enjoy flying on AIR FORCE ONE, seems like they just fly everywhere since the election. I wonder how many days he has actually spent in the Oval Office. I hear he has a writer following him, and someday, a book will be published, similar to the Bible. Well, actually it will be called The Bible, Barack Version. Hey, it's easy to save the world when you have a jet to fly all over, unlimited usage.
OH, yes, the North Koreans fired missiles, and they don't like us.
There was an interview on TV, not sure who she was, apparently a North Korean. People in North Korea were not aware of the death of Michael Jackson ... actually, people in North Korea were not aware of Michael Jackson, or much of anything. All those millions of people just do what they are told.
Some things happened in Washington also, that were overlooked because of the Jackson coverage. I was surprised that Obama did not show up at the Jackson Memorial. If only he could have been there great exposure. Where was Oprah? Surprised she wasn't there.
QB Steve McNair is shot and killed.
