Michael Jackson Not Guilty; Nancy Grace Kills Self

Michael Jackson got off, he beat the rap, and somewhere in Atlanta, Nancy Grace, CNN's newest screeching harpy, just spontaneously combusted. Good riddance. Listening to that incompetent noodge and her sensationalistic mob justice unwrinkles my brain. But regarding Michael Jackson, what's done is done. For a man that craves attention and public adoration, being a social pariah will prove to be punishment enough for any wrong committed upon a child in his past. Let his downward spiral into irrelevance continue, let him become further mired in debt, let him continue to be the posterboy for NAMBLA. I have to think that in the long run, these consequences will do more to pain (and hopefully rehabilitate) him than time in prison. Sure, in prison he'd lose the wig and makeup, need a pick for his new afro, and find Jesus Juice in short supply, but eventually he'd settle in, write books, and some idiot would find a way to make him a martyr. So let's move on. I hope he straightens out his life but it's more likely that sooner or later, he'll be paying off another family.

As a break from all the analysis and bullshit we'll endure the next few days (at least, until they find the missing girl in Aruba or have a zany report that Katie Holmes is Tom Cruise's beard), I hope you all enjoy Triumph the Insult Comic Dog pooping on Wacko Jacko's fans.
