It's all about Sunday Morning

This past Sunday, my future hubby and I, were eating breakfast watching Sunday Morning on CBS. There was a story rolling that caught our attention, and immediately after the story Charles Osgood began the all-to-familiar MJ story line. I wanted to throw my coffee at the TV, until the footage rolled...

I went from anger to tears in about 3 seconds flat. Ruined my breakfast for a moment, but that's OK. My plight was heard, either directly or indirectly, or simply because i am not the only person in America tired of hearing the MJ bullshit.

I am so happy that Sunday Morning ran this story and in the manner that they did. I just wish the nightly news would follow suit.

Look, I understand War is scary and depressing, and most of the tree hugging Americans don't want to hear about violence and bloodshed, but it doesn't take away from the fact that there are soldiers from all countries, not just ours, dying everyday to fight for the freedoms of normal people all across the world!

Everyone trashed GWB for the war in Iraq, but yet we are still there under the new Messiah's administration, and now we are moving on to other countries as well. Is it right? God only knows, but what isn't right is the fact that our media chooses to only air bad things about the war (if anything at all these days).

I have had friends come and go from Iraq, as many people have in the last 9 years. I have one headed back for his 3rd tour. For those of them that were able to have PC access when not running convoy missions, they posted about their experiences and even posted pictures. It's not all bad! We are doing great things in those countries for the law abiding citizens and children. We aren't just walking in there guns blazing and maliciously killing innocents! but you hear nothing of that.

That's because of the media's malicious hatred for our former Commander in Chief. So much so that they can't even put their tails between their legs and report the good things we are doing, or maybe taking 1 day out of the week, at the least, to celebrate the lives of those lost in combat. It's a sad state of affairs when people rather hear about some celebrity, or sports figure, than to hear about a fellow tax paying citizen that has the balls to go and put his/her life in harms way. To take a member of the family unit out and leave their loved ones with the possibility every single day that they may not return home. How sad is that!!!!?

Then there's the analysts, gotta love them, posting polls and surveys on the news about how the racial component comes into play for the entire MJ circus. Blacks are more celebratory of MJ's life and mourning his passing blah blah blah, and whites are angry about the coverage. This came from a black female analyst, which based on her ramblings, is a racist herself. That is why racism will never die, but i can give this woman a clear - street value- explanation. The ghettofabs do nothing but live to be sports players or entertainers. It's what they know and what they follow. It gives them something to focus on other than getting a job and not living off of the feds. One of their HUGE entertainers died.. omg it's a travesty. You took their Elvis away. If he was white? well he kind of was, but that's neither here nor there, they wouldn't have been paying any attention at all. It's their culture. Doesn't make them bad people, it's just their choice.

My choice is to want to hear about the war, the soldiers, etc. One or two days of coverage for MJ would have been enough. Then a nice broadcast on his history and blah blah.. The media made a circus out of someone whom already was living the circus lifestyle. I don't even think former entertainer and President Ronald Reagan had this much coverage. So sorry if my hatred portrays me as a racist, but there are more important things in life.

Now that the circus has moved on, and LA is left to pay for Jacko's funeral with money they DON'T have, maybe just maybe the news will hear all of our bitching and run some stories about our soldiers. Well, we can only hope and pray.

Going Wacko over Jacko

Enough is Enough already!!!
How many days of ridiculous coverage of Michael Jackson can we really take?? When is it considered overkill?

After day 2 i was sick of it, and my overkill hit yesterday when i heard the shit-stirrer Al Sharpton call for a National Day of Mourning in regards to his death. I've heard enough.

9/11 isn't even a NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING! Pearl Harbor got it's day on the calendar and we celebrate that for what it's worth, but 9/11 the day in which thousands of CIVILIANS and POLICE AND FIRE AND EMS people lost their lives.. yet.. we still do not celebrate that as a NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING.

Hey AL! your got your priorities in a tangle as usual! oh wait.. sorry.. my bad.. MJ is black.. umm err he was black. Now he's some freakishly white color. Now if for some reason a good Samaritan would do us the great favor of taking you out we will certainly add you to the "day of mourning" list.. happily.

The media coverage of this circus is utterly ridiculous. Day in and Day out-none stop coverage of a drug addicted pedophile when a couple of days ago "7" of our great soldiers died in Afghanistan. Do you know where i "read" that story? when i opened my e-mail on yahoo. The story was a 1 line headline so-to-speak. No TV coverage, or radio coverage. NOTHING. Our soldiers are dying in vain! so some Stupid crackpot mediocre singer at best can have a circus funeral. I'm done with it, and something needs to change.

I'm going to start by writing every single news station in my metro area. I am going to tell them how disgusted i am with their poor judgment. Their lack of news coverage and celebration of the lives of our soldiers that have passed, the cops that die in the street everyday protecting us, the fire fighters that die frequently saving us, and all other Emergency service personnel that put their lives at risk so that we can be safe and alive and to see our families at the end of our day.

As for MJ? appropriately called Jacko the Wacko.. so what if everyone loved him.. and FYI not everyone DID. I didn't! i never did! I think Thriller was the only song i liked as a child and it was only when i was able to see the video on MTV. My family didn't, most of my friends didn't either.
And apparently a political figure in NY doesn't either. Here is what he had to say and i agree 100%:
(Story taken from Rolling Stone Magazine and the Telegraph. UK)

Congressman Peter T. King, a U.S. Congressman from New York’s Long Island, has come under fire from Michael Jackson fans after making some scathing statements about the King of Pop in a video this past weekend. Talking directly to the camera outside of the American Legion in Wantagh, New York, King said, “This low-life, Michael Jackson — his name, his face, his picture — is all over the newspaper, television, radio… Let’s knock out the psychobabble. He was a pervert, a child molester, he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?” Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005. King said "more thought should be given to Americans dying in Afghanistan and people doing difficult jobs like fire fighters and teachers".

“I just think we’re too politically correct, no one wants to stand up and say, ‘We don’t need Michael Jackson,’ ” King added. “You know, he died, he had some talent. Fine. There’s people dying every day.” King, a Republican serving his seventh term as representative for Nassau County, was upset with the media’s coverage focused on Jackson’s death and not more pertinent world issues like the Iraq War.

A rep for the Jackson family wouldn’t “dignify King’s statement with a comment,” the AP writes.

“There’s nothing good about this guy. He may have been a good singer, did some dancing… But the bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room as Michael Jackson? What are we glorifying him for,” King asks in the video. King later defended his statements in an interview with CNN, saying that even though Jackson was never convicted on child molestation charges, the fact that Jackson reached a monetary settlement with his accusers was evidence enough to support King’s statements.

I couldn't have said it better myself.. and if i could vote for him i would just for having balls enough to say what us little people can't because we won't be heard.

Thank you congressman Peter King!
