I do not believe MJ could have assaulted dozens or hundreds as some believe,
if there was only 1-2 lawsuits
and no conviction.
If he had assaulted hundreds or dozens,
you can B sure hundreds or dozens
would have come forward to sue
like they did against the Catholic Church.
We do not know the reality.

Re: MJ "breaking the Internet": While it was happening, TMZ was almost impossible to get onto. OK, I expected that, but CNN was pretty sluggish too. Yikes!

Turmoil in countries like Honduras, Iran, North Korea, only exists because the second Carter administration is presently in office (and illegitimately so, since he won't produce his birth certificate).
A real president who was loyal to America would have bombed all three of those countries by now (and maybe even used nukes, too).

Those are some swell dance moves. Growing up in the early 70s was like ingesting magic mushrooms every time a kid turned on the TV.

I'm glad to see Honduras getting a shoutout. What's happening there has some alarming parallels to the sharp right turns many Latin American governments took in the 70s, with tragic results. And frankly, an influx of Honduran refugees would affect us a hell of a lot more than the turmoil in Iran could.

Jackson's body was released to his family yesterday but no funeral arrangements were announced. The bizarre nature of his life continued into death, with German doctor Gunther von Hagens claiming: "An agreement is in place to plastinate the King of Pop."
Dr von Hagens, who is known for embalming bodies in polyurethane, said an agreement had been reached with Jackson months ago for the singer's body to be plastinated in the moonwalk position and put on show with the plastinated body of his pet chimp, Bubbles.
