MJ - My thoughts from June...never posted

So I know this is a big point of controversy...did he? didn't he? molest those kids. Personally, I don't really think so. I think he made horrible choices and was a very confused and tragic person. I have watched every minute of Jackson coverage that I could possibly fit into my tv viewing schedule. Mind you. I'm not a huge Jackson fan. But I beleive that he is more a tragedy and the result of crazy, exploitive parents. Most people as adults could not handle the life he was forced to live at 5...but I digress. This really isn't about him. This is about the crackpot Mayor of LA. Is it possible to be more stupid than that guy? I'm glad to say although I'm from LA, I have not lived there for 26 years. I am not skilled enough with the English language or any other language for that matter to come up with the adjectives my gut is begging for.

The city is underwater to the tune of a billion and half dollars at least. People are losing their jobs right and left and this moron thinks that it is the obligation of the city ie the taxpayers to pay for MJ's funeral and compared it to the presidency? What? Additionally, chastised his staff for soliciting money to help defray expenses. I don't know politics or the heirarchy of things, but is there some one above the philandering whore that can over ride him. The sales tax in LA is at nearly 10 %. If I was living in LA right now, struggling to pay my bills, I think it simply time to cash in the chips. God help us all if this guy has the same devil spawn that ends up in politics and any other position of power.

And, while I have so much empathy for MJs children, if the rest of his family had any class, they would have stepped up and paid the mere pennies it would be to them to cover the costs. Additionally, the cheap, elitest Hollywood types who entertain me yet I still can't stand, would certainly be looked upon more favorably if they pitched in. Truly, a couple of bucks is what it would amount to for 100 of the most visible. They'd truly shine as stars if they did that. Funny...all of a sudden...the impossible to shut up politically correct Hollywood, went silent.
