Just Beat It.

I am just going to come right out and say it. I. am. tired. of. hearing. all. this. shit. about. Michael. Jackson. Sure he had a tough life, sure he made some (allegedly) good music in the 80s. But here's what else is going on in the world that CNN has relegated to the bottom of its webpage (if they even bother publishing it at all).

• Honduras has had a COUP...wtf
• The Supreme Court is issuing sweet opinions like EVERY DAY NOW. Big issues like "reverse discrimination" (scoff), overthrowing the McCain-Feingold campaign finance rules, teens being strip searched in schools, etc. (BTW--THAT is drama.)
  
• Today is the day all US troops are pulling out of Iraqi cities, perhaps a transparent and meaningless crowd-pleasing gesture, but still!
• Health care reform plans are being proposed like, daily. The government might decide to TAX YOUR HEALTH BENEFITS as part of your salary. Wake up.
• Iran is in the middle of an election fraud crisis that will in all probability keep a crazy HOLOCAUST DENIER in office
• Maddoff was sentenced to 150 YEARS in a Federal prison. This sentence is supposedly a message to other greed-driven white collar criminals, but no one is going to bother listening, because everyone has "Thriller" cranked up so loud.
  
• Finally, there are a lot of really cute cats on icanhascheezburger.com, but no one seems to care.
  

Here's the bottom line folks: It's sad, but sometimes pill popping crazies die. Then the world goes on. Get with the program or pull out your sequined glove and start building a time machine; you're about to get left behind.
