I am so sick of Michael Jackson it is making me sick. I tried watching the memorial today, but I could not stand it and switched to CNBC, the only news station of any sort that seemed not to be covering Jackson. I agree mostly with what Peter King said, though he took it a little over the top. Jackson was a freak, and overall, he is someone who should be looked down upon, not praised. Now, I fully expect at his memorial he will be painted in a better light than he ought to be. Still, the things said by Reverend Sharpton, for example are way over the top. Sharpton said there is nothing strange about Michael. Anyone with an ounce of truth knows that the least of things Jackson is strange. Sharpton also wants a US Postage Stamp for Michael Jackson.
Sheila Jackson Lee is introducing a bill to congress in order to honor Michael Jackson as a humanitarian. This is a bunch of crap. I give Obama props for not going to these levels, as the press kept pushing him to say how great a man Jackson was, and he was just focusing on his skill as an entertainer. I am all for honoring what is good in a man, but let’s not speak untruths about someone. Jackson was a talented man who was a freak and as a whole, a stain on society. That is not to say he won’t have positive aspects that live on. Still, someone who is strange at best and a pedophile at worst is not someone to be idolatrized. In fact, I don’t favor making an idol of any man, but let’s not make a freak like this an example to the next generation.
