Countdown....

To the Michael Jackson funeral/memorial/circus/freak show. I should have more comments after it's over but I can predict one adjective you won't be hearing in the media tomorrow... dignified. The least we can hope for is that there actually will be a burial. If you'll recall a few years back they left poor ol' James Brown above ground for almost 4 months while different factions (mostly the women that were the Godfather of Soul's non musical legacy and a tribute to his highly charged love life) mined him for DNA and a claim to his cash. While the fight over Michael Jackson's estate may go on for decades I doubt there will be many credible groupie paternity lawsuits against the King of Pop.
