It never ceases to amaze

I will confess that I was shocked by the death of Michael Jackson, however, I was not saddened by this news, not like I was to the news of Farrah Fawcett dying. To best express how I feel about Michael Jackson, the man, you need to read this, this, this, and this.

I do not mourn for Michael Jackson, the man, rather I mourn for the boy that he was and the potential of what could have been. That being said, even though he obviously had many demons from a tumultuous childhood, does not excuse his behavior as an adult.

In other news, I am appalled by this. Seriously? They cannot let this family grieve over the death of their mother, sister, aunt, simply because she "might be" an illegal immigrant? As a white woman, I wish white people wouldn't act so foolishly!
