If you
RTA, you come away a bit puzzled. MJ is often understood to have been a
regressed man-child in his personal life, and yet his 12 year old son seems to
be the opposite - a man inhabiting a child's body. He has alledgedly run the
household staff - and won their respect, no less - for years. Moreover, when
his Dad died the doctor came screaming for someone to "Get Prince!" -
not 911, not an adult, but MJ's son - and it was not until Prince took over the
scene that action was taken.
Since
Michael Jackson's death, his son, Prince Michael I, has emerged as the man of
the family.

This
sucks, both for the Brewers and Bill Hall. I like the guy. I once had a
conversation with his high school coach. He said he tried to stop Bill from
entering the draft but all Hall could think about was getting to the bigs. I
hope he gets another chance, and a change of scenery.
There's a
best-case scenario for Bill Hall and the Milwaukee Brewers, and it doesn't
involve his return to the starting lineup at third base. The best thing that
could happen for Hall and the Brewers is ...

Hmm. The
charismatic President of a country that's shifted from democratic captialism to
socialism decides to put the media out of business unless they 'share his
vision'. Thank God it can't happen here. Why, I saw this article on Fox, and .

Not only
was the guy on the FBI Most Wanted list in the '60's, in the early 70's he
wrote a book about how he'd turned his life around. "If you see someone on
the street who needs help, help him, because tomorrow night it may be you who
needs help."
Awwww. How sweet. Of course, the next year he rented a house and then burned it to the ground, and later in the decade he allegedly abducted, mudered, and sexually assaulted a WI couple.
With rare exceptions, people don't fundamentally change their heart and soul once they're an adult. Why is that news to anyone? What a world.

Ordinarily I'd say 34
years for a weak stab at attempted murder is enough. But when you aim a gun at
the President life in prison should actually be 'life in prison'.
Heck, I was watching a Nat. Geographic special yesterday that said some states will be put you in prison for 35 years for possession of two marijuana plants. Two plants = 35 years. Worship Manson and aim at gun at a President = 34 years.
What a world.

Turns out they're building a gas line from the landfill in Franklin, all the way down to Jones Island. (!) Based on soil samples from in front of my house, they may have to dig the street up to lay the pipe. Yikes!
