No, as far as I know, Neda and the victims of the Iran crackdown never got one of their own — but they did get a resolution of support, so never mind that comparison. What’s more irritating here, that the House would interrupt national business for this or that JJJ would have the stones to pay tribute to the “grace” and “mercy” of a guy who was accused of child molestation more than once and was known to pay $20+ million settlements in hush money to his accusers? Atheist bonus points to Junior for framing it as an “if there is a God” question, oblivious as he is to the implications for that subject if one believes Michael was “blessed” with a penchant for kiddie-fondling. Like Treacher says, it’s a good thing those cherubs have wings; they’re going to need them.
As I write this, the websites of CNN, FNC, ABC, and NBC are still in full banner mode. The only outlet not smoking the Jacko cracko is CBS. Thank god it’s Friday. Click the image to watch.

Leave it alone people. It was National Pedophile Day, so they had no choice.

Oh wow. Another black hero who gets congress to stop on a dime to remember his famous moon walk? Never mind he was an all round human train wreck! Oh, but wait a minute — that would describe most members of Congress too.

They should not be praying or observing a moment of silence in the people’s house for anybody … it’s time to throw religion on the damn door.

Where’s the moment of silence for Farah Fawcett or Billy Mays?

They’re not ethnic enough to have special representation in Congress.
I, for one, am glad that freak show is over.
