I remember a kid with tons of talent. Sometimes kid stars look funny when they grow up. Like Jerry Mathers.

“Jackson’s Johnson” was discussed on Radio’s Stephanie Miller show, I thought that was pretty funny.

What could a racist find more appealing than a black man who desperately wants to be white? It’s like he’s seen the error of his ways. Michael Jackson had the money and power to make himself and his children white, which is pretty rare.

I heard some commentary on the radio today about the “celebrity” idea. Someone pointed out that if this was Mike Tyson on trial, it’s not likely he would have been more liked by the jury than the accuser and his mother.

Michael Jackson’s race is sort of non-existent, isn’t it? He uses the race card when things aren’t going his way, but his two marriages were to white women, his children are white, and to me that crowd of dove releasing weirdos looked mostly white. Maybe a white racist would like him because he tries so hard to not be black.

Here’s what I found at cnn.com:

“The jurors, who listened to the mother for more than five days, indicated that they, too, doubted her credibility and were put off by the way she directly addressed jurors and accented her testimony by snapping her fingers.

“I disliked it intensely,” said Juror No. 5, a 79-year-old woman from Santa Maria. “I thought, ‘Don’t snap your fingers at me, lady.’ ”

Must be a habit she had –

The other thing that I couldn’t get over — was that one woman who looked completely normal who was letting a dove fly out of a cage every time they read “not-guilty.”

It is quite a world we live in. Never a dull moment.
