Constitutionally Correct

Cynical Yet?

Part I: Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Fricken Jackson. Michael Jackson on Fox, Michael Jackson on CNN, Michael Jackson on MSNBC, Michael Jackson as the most popular news item on Yahoo. My God in heaven, and we wonder why we are an uninformed country...It's in our culture. We make God's out of freaks [sorry, but the man is a freak] and then follow their lives like sheep. This man evoked enough emotion out of a lot of people so that they would wait outside the courtroom releasing doves into the air after the verdict [what the Hell was that lady's plan if he was found guilty?]. Meanwhile: The PATRIOT ACT's renewal is being pushed by conservatives, the Senate is wasting it's time appologizing for anti-anti-lynching law past acts, the President's approval rating is approaching Stalin's and oh, by the way, we're still at war. Jesus, we've got our priorities straight.

Part II: Anyone watching the Discovery Channel's 100 Greatest Americans? How unthinkably depressing. If you haven't, the concept is, our fellow countrymen [countrypeople?] vote on who they think are the greatest Americans. I checked out the website, looked down the list which is ordered alphabetically...Hmmm, let's see here...Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, Marylin Monroe...Wait what? Oh yeah, down the line some more was Jacko, and that was before he was aquitted. We the people were willing to put a whore and a possible child molester on the list of greatest Americans along with the likes of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. When in the hell did the word "great" lose it's meaning?
