One last thing that should be added to yesterday September 3, 2009. Michael Jackson was FINALLY laid to rest. I would have said buried but he was placed in a mausoleum.

      They were afraid to bury him in a regular grave, A-Venter. Everybody has seen that "Thriller" video with all those zombies, you know.

The state of California was trying to give each of it departments at least one more chance to spend enough money to make sure they can’t get themselves out of bankruptcy. The first traffic control after his death cost over a million, a California trial (history repeats) will cost several million to have the trial. I am almost positive a good defense for his needing medication would be that he saw the wardrobe malfunction of Janet a few years back and his doctors could argue he never fully recovered from that causing him to have to have very strong meds to even nap in the afternoon. Reasonable doubt is all that is needed to clear a suspect. If the tit flap fits you must acquit.

Before it’s over California 50 million spent.

And bj, I believe the state of California allowed the mausoleum just in case they need to look at the body several more times, maybe by water and sewer and the power departments. I think they are the only ones that have not had him for a week.

Hahahaha.  Amen Venter.
