Here's what's on Yahoo news today... Note what's at the top and the news events that are underneath...
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about"

I don't know what to make of this, I don't want to say that the justice system failed because it didn't, if there is even a shadow of doubt in the mind of the jurors, they're supposed to let the person go. That's how the system is set up, it was nice to see that he handled the situation tastefully (no SUV-hopping).

as much as it pains me to do so, i think the verdict the jury gave was correct. that DA didn't bring up enough solid evedence and he won't be re-elected. his career is in ruins.
about a year ago this 17 or 18 year old kid in the area was dating and ellegedly killed his 14 year old girlfriend. charges of statutory rape and murder were brought against him, our DA didn't bring in enough evidence (he's not a student of the law) and the guy was only found guilty for the statutory rape. he was found innocent of the charges the same way MJ was.
the DA got re-elected too. (well, only because we had to choose between him and another person that was accused of sexual harassment the last time he held office.)

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Making money off his family is what Joe does best, isn't it?
