Michael Jackson – RIP
It is long past the time we lay aside our snark and smart-alecky observations and finally pay proper tribute to a man who brought so much joy not only to those of us here at Planet Moron, but to the entire world as well:
Michael Jackson
May you find peace in that great pub in the sky, where the taps are always clean, the service prompt, and the beverages fresh.
In related news, the deceased pop singer continues to dominate coverage from major news organizations. From the home page of CNN earlier this afternoon:
As you can see, important issues of far greater consequence to the nation are getting pushed down.
In fact it is not until you get all the way down to the seventh top story of the day that you discover what might otherwise have gotten top billing on CNN but for such breaking news as "Places to go to honor Michael Jackson:"

"L.A. wants help paying for Jackson memorial". So why didn't they pass the hat at the service?
Surely for the folks that shelled out big bucks for the tickets, a "small" donation couldn't have been too much of a strain.
And LA's experience with begging money from the feds would make passing the hat seem natural.
