Did you see the locks he had on his bedroom door??

do you have a lock on your bedroom door? I'll be sure to alert the authorities.

:D How true...


So, lemme guess, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is a Black woman...

Yep...shoulda known...

NO resolution honoring Whacko Jacko.

At BEST, he was an entertainer who was no longer relevant...in spite of his planned concert tour. (where he'd have probably raked in MILLIONS of $$ from his adoring fans who can't let go of the past)

Haha, rofl, lol.

What's light brown and comes in little cans. :disgust:

You think this shit is so funny, why don't you personally get up in that 11 year old girl's grill and tell her all your MJ jokes. I'm sure she (and her younger siblings) are oh so freaking ready to laugh at your smug ass bullshit.

I never really thought about that old saying, "Don't speak ill of the dead" until I saw that poor kid on TV.

And that's the thing. The Dead don't give a fark what you say about them. They're DEAD. They can't hear you.

But the living?...

Its better than her past attempts like fighting with a flight crew and being banned from flying on certain airlines.

...complaining that hurricanes don't have african american names, complainining that gate attendants were racist after they wouldn't stop a plane that was taxiing away, and using her staff as a limo service

According to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Cynthia McKinney (3 really stand up people there), MJ was practically a saint. He was a civil rights leader on par with MLK Jr.

I'm a registered Democrat and I think that's stupid. He was an entertainer at best...he didn't cure cancer, he didn't discover a cure for the common cold, nothing. He just made really great music.

/facepalm at Sharpton and Jackson Lee

Well, there's obviously nothing more to say to this one. Won't figure it out unless/until his own life implodes around him.

Should he ever be so lucky.

Mr. Jackson made really popular music. Check back in 50 years to see if anyone still beats it...

The guy was a millionaire who liked little boys, I would think the GOP would like to honor one of their kind?

Absolutely not. This is one of those hare brained ideas certain attention whores/politicians get-like a flag burning amendment, etc., instead of tackling real, complex issues.

Personally I'd switch my allegiance to whatever network promises a Michael Jackson free news show. It's gone beyone ridiculous. Two nights ago the NBC Evening News led off with stories about Jackson that took nearly all the first half of the show. Only after they finished with Jackson did they get into the second story of the night-that EIGHT US soldiers had been killed that day in Afganistan.

This is a great idea. Let the Republicans shoot it down demonstrating again to the people of the US and the world what a bunch of hypocritical pricks they are.

Yeah, this is really beyond stupid.
Was he a highly successful and influential entertainer? Absolutely.
Should Congress spend ANY time on this at all? Fvck no!

This would be inappropriate, even if MJ had never been accused of child molestation.

Maybe Congress could better spend the time reading the extra last-minute 400 pages of the C&T bill to figure out WTF they actually did.

Caveat: I may change my mind if someone can demonstrate that MJ donated boatloads of cash to charity or performed at many, many USO shows (like Bob Hope).

Personally a Congrassional Resolution honoring jacko Wacko is just absurd and little girl tears and all....
Halloween is a day that honors MJ and other freaks!!

I'm just tired of the 24/7 MJ BS ... two weeks ago when he was still above ground no one gave a rats ass about him. Can we just get back to that? He had some good music 25+ years ago and has been a freakshow of Springer proportions since. Theres no reason every newspaper/channel should be talking about him.

Nice bait, I'm sure someone will fall for it.
