One More for Michael Jackson
It feels like some closure is upon us and Michael gets to go underground. That said, I could have sworn he once told me he wanted to be cremated when he was all done.

Many ask why I incessantly write about our wars and our television coverage, and I have no reasonable answer other than what is going on makes me nuts.

We have lost all sense of proportion, balance and priority. The comparative response to these deaths can only be considered pathetic.

Michael Jackson's memorial made me realize that not only do I need to write up a will, but I also need to plan my own memorial service and tribute for when that inevitable time comes.

Ruth Madoff kicked out of $7 million penthouse, but allowed to keep $2.5 million in assets said not to be related to husband's mega-swindle. That's an awful lot of bake sales and car washes.

I'd like to thank Nancy Pelosi for nixing the resolution to honor Michael Jackson. It's not like Congress doesn't have anything to do. Health care, anyone?

In 1969 the King of Pop was a pipsqueak when I heard the lead singer of The Jackson Five belt out "I Want You Back." Even now the songs "ABC" and "I'll Be There" take me back to my teenage days in San Francisco.

Like Joan of Arc, Michael Jackson embodied some of the same vulnerabilities and courage.

Why has nothing been written about the doctors who continued to disfigure Michael Jackson? Or those advisors and lawyers who sat idly by as his finances imploded? Why did no-one step in?

Michael Jackson transcended race. He was truly the first post-racial star. He symbolized America and personified all of her possibilities.

There was something so chilling about mourning a man in the most public of ceremonies whose great tragedy was that he had never had a private life. Even in death, there wasn't any way for Michael Jackson to walk -- or be driven in a casket -- down the street unnoticed.

Michael Jackson is hereby transmuted -- to the choir strains of a rather extraordinary send-off -- into not just a holy figure but a living icon of the racial and political wars.

Clearly Sharpton's statement hinted at the racism Michael Jackson endured in the music industry. But he totally ignored, as many have, the issues of gender and sexuality that clearly impacted the star.
