Could it be? Jacko’s not whacko? Well, I have no idea. He is still at least whacky. The thing that interests me about all this is the media. If you think that lynch mobs are a thing of the past you haven’t been paying attention. The media conducts the modern day lynchings. If you watch the pundits you likely believe in the guilt of anyone who is accused. You hear 90% of one side and maybe 10% of the other. I mean most people thought that Robert Blake was guilty. Not much positive reporting there. Of course there was O.J. The mean Martha Stewart and now Michael Jackson. Not to mention any political figure or issue that does not represent the far left wing.

Basically if you are either conservative, black, male or just plain successful and not a far left liberal, you must be guilty. I mean even our own Military is under a microscope for every little thing. That is because they represent President Bush. If they do anything that could be wrong it reflects on him. There are a lot of people in this country who think we are the bad guys. Murderers are the victims and victims had it coming. Unless of course you fall into the categories mentioned above. The distortions and insinuations are relentless.

Hopefully Jackson was innocent and the verdict was just. One good thing about it, the media eats crow again. They have done a lot of that lately. Between all the elections they were unable to sway and the sensational trials, they are looking pretty pathetic. No wonder network news ratings are in the crapper. With the help of the alternative media, including myself, they will stay there for a long time. That won’t stop them though. They will be trying to gently brainwash the simpletons as always. After all it does work. Just look at the crazy accusations and conspiracy theories we have to listen to from so many of these ignorant people.

Texas voters will get to vote on a constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriages in November. No doubt the fine people of Texas will shoot this down in a big way. The truth is most states would. There are currently 18 states who have voted to keep marriage between a man and a woman. Only the Ted Kennedy(hiccup) state of Massachusetts allows such a thing. And that was not done by a vote but by a radical Supreme Court. Despite what you have been led to believe, most Americans believe in marriage between a man and a woman. That is it. Not man and man or woman and woman. Not people and pets or any other odd combination… By definition anything else simply is not marriage. In fact, it is around a 70% majority who believe in marriage being between a man and a woman in the states that have held votes. You are simply out of touch with your fellow Americans if you hold such beliefs that there should be gay marriage. Not to mention out of touch with what the Bible says. Hey, I’m just reporting the facts here. It’s a big issue and you are entitled to know the facts. They are still facts regardless of whether or not you like it.

And you thought President Bush was the dumb one and not the intellectual John Kerry. Well, turns out Kerry had four D’s out of ten his freshman year at Yale. This has been reported in a Boston.com story. George W. Bush had one D in four years. Now they are trying to smooth it out by saying Kerry had similar averages to Bush. What a far cry to what you were led to believe during the election campaign. Kerry would not release those records during the campaign. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, “now you know the rest of the story”…..

The Houston Chronicle is reporting that by the end of the century southern Louisiana may sink into the Gulf of Mexico. Texas might be next. One notable flaw to geologists estimates is that it’s based on simple benchmarks which are bolted to the ground. The benchmarks may be sinking with everything else thus causing readings that are very inaccurate. One thing for sure, I would not want to live on the coast of Louisiana. That is a natural disaster waiting to happen. Or a man made disaster waiting to happen depending on the way you look at it. That’s one coastal area that does not appeal to me.

I suppose it’s only a matter of time before someone blames the President. What did he know and when did he know it? Why hasn’t he stopped it? “Mommy, why do the Republicans want to destroy the environment?” “They just do honey, they just do.”

I just read where George Michael has become fat and sloppy and an ice cream junky. I think this *story caught my eye in part because of the America bashing that Michael has done. I think the big thing is because there are so many people who have no clue about what it is like to fall on hard times. To have everything come tumbling down on you for no apparent good reason.

I mean here is a guy who had fame. He had fortune. He had women throwing themselves at him. Well, I think he at least liked the fame and fortune part. He has to gorge on ice cream to ease his miserable life? I don’t know. I just don’t get it. It does go to show that being a singer or actor does not require brains of any kind. People out there like George Clooney, the Dixie Chicks or Michael Jackson… Talent and brains are two distinctly different qualities. George Michael could use his success to help a lot of people. So put down the ice cream, George!
