I have bad news for everyone: the Michael Jackson tragedy will not disappear anytime in the near future. We will now see a lot of attention paid to the arrests and convictions of a number of his enablers. I would imagine that some physicians will be spending time in prison.
The awful cap and trade legislation passed almost certainly due to Jackson’s death pushing all other news off the front page. We are also hearing less from the protesters in Iran. And who is this Mark Sanford guy? Does anybody now care about his fooling around in Argentina? Wouldn’t it be strange if archeologists study our civilization in a thousand years hence and decide we destroyed ourselves by overreacting to the death of a pop star?
