"Wasn't nothing strange about your daddy," political ambulance chaser Al Sharpton remarked to Michael Jackson's children during their father's funeral yesterday. The double negative seems a Freudian slip. Michael Jackson dyed his skin white. He kept monkeys and other exotic animals as pets. He once attended an awards show with Brooke Shields--and Emmanuel Lewis. By his own admission, he loved sleeping with children. As a grown man, he built an amusement park at his estate and entertained an endless stream of youngsters. He imbibed, injected, and inserted an enormous amount of drugs into his system. He married Debbie Rowe but never consumated their union that produced two children. There was a lot strange about Michael Jackson, including his extraordinary skills in music and dance. Should Jackson's children believe there was nothing strange about their daddy, who could blame them? Our families are normal to us, however abnormal they appear to outsiders. But Al Sharpton isn't a member of the Jackson family. He is an outsider. If he really believes there was nothing strange about Michael Jackson then there is something very strange about him.

Hmmmm. It's not like Reverend Al to be wrong or a bad judge of character.

Hey Al, you better eat yo wheaties, you lookin like a deflated balloon.

Is it by cooincidence or was it calculated that as the dumbed down American public was concentrating on the death of a drug addled pedophile, the (alleged) President of the United States was in Russia agreeing to subtract a third of our nuclear arsenal?

Just askin'.
