Michael Jackson

Oh, I know everybody has something to say about Michael Jackson, but mine is just a quick observation about the proceedings of this morning's "Is he going to show up or be arrested" drama.

If the nation was made to sit through how many hours of watching O.J. Simpson's white Ford Bronco maneuver through traffic via an array of helicopter camera angles, then why couldn't the press figure out how to put a single traffic helicopter in the air to find Michael's entourage of black SUV's in order to report how close he was to the courthouse? They could have even jazzed it up with a little clock timer in the corner of the screen counting down how much time remained until Michael's arrest warrant would be issued. This would have been a lot more riveting than watching Michael's attorney pace back and forth looking at his watch and talking on his cell phone.

Ohhhh! I even thought of a good headline - Michael's Pain in the Back Causes Pain in the Neck for Trial Judge

Now why am I not in charge of everything ?
