What I Learned In The News This Week
There is so much here that I just can hardly stand myself.
Let’s recap:
- Mark Sanford is about the douchiest guy that I’ve seen in a long time. His wife, however, was pretty cool by telling him to “Suck It” even though she says she believes in forgiveness. That whole soul mate thing was ridiculous and I’ll even go as far as saying that his little governor had no idea that being a hypocrite can get you in a world of trouble despite those pesky words he said in his campaign ad. Yet, dude isn’t going to resign.
- HOWEVER, Sarah Palin will. I’m not going to throw her on a pyre here but I will say that I’m not getting it, her press conference was brain cell reducing and let’s not forget that members of the McCain team threw a very weird, oddly-timed curve ball this week. Why did they bring up the train wreck aspect now of her role in the election last year? I don’t know but most folks I know like the underdog role, but not the roll of a leader quitting. There has to be more to this than meets the eye.
- I don’t want to speak ill of the dead but let’s face it, Michael Jackson was a very rich junkie. I am suffering Michael Jackson Death Fatigue. Can I get medication to treat that because Lord knows Jackson had doctors hopping him on goof balls every fifteen minutes. In other news, I had no idea that Jackson had a kid named Blanket.
- Al Franken is now a Senator. This might be fun to watch.
- This grosses me out more than I can say in words. The Washington Post needs it’s butt kicked and that’s all I have to say on that.
- North Korea. We get it. You are firing missiles on Independence Day. Again.
Oh, there was more. The news this week was a good old fashioned bus plunge.
how did you miss the kid named Blanket. Sidenote, naming a child “Blanket” proves MJ was on some happy pills.
Now see.. his real name isn’t Blanket. It’s Prince Michael the second…Blanket was to I suppose differentiate him from Prince Michael the first. I think. However..I would think one could come up with something BETTER than Blanket. Sheesh.
Thanks ‘Coma for the laugh this morning. You said everything I have been thinking! Only funnier.
Happy 4th!
Beth, I had to ask the Squirreled one. I asked her yesterday when Palin had a kid named Blanket. She said “NOooo, that’s MJ’s kid.” Me = Fail.
Thanks S.
The child was dubbed “Blanket” by the press as Jackson carried him around with a blanket over his head all the time in infancy, including the infamous scene which horrified people around the world when Jackson dangled the child over a balcony in Berlin in 2002 – see small pic on left of this page:

Whether or not MJ actually picked up the habit himself of calling the kid Blanket or not I don’t know – probably doubtful – but the child was dubbed “Blanket” by the press, not by MJ himself.
