Line of the Day (UPDATED...again)

(please scroll down for updates)

Meanwhile it is being reported that Mr. Jackson will be buried without his brain -- apparently in a move to stand in solidarity with all of the people who will watch the memorial service live on ABC, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC.


That from the New Editor.

And to put a nice neat bow on things, the Reverand Al Sharpton is calling for a U.S. Postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson and during Sunday services at the First A.M.E. Church in South-Central Los Angeles, Sharpton also called for nationwide "love vigils" in rememberance for a man who admitted to sleeping with 10 yr. old boys. Nice touch, Reverand.

(UPDATE #1): Laker G.M. Mitch Kupchak may want to rethink that 3-year deal he has offered to Ron Artest.

Soon to be L.A. Laker, Ron Artest (a pick up which we absolutely love, btw), proves he isn’t quite as far out of the wacky woods as we would like by laying down a tribute to Michael Jackson. No big deal there, but doesn’t he around the 1:53 mark say/sing: “I know you’re in Heaven, I hope to see you next year.”

(Strong language warning)





(UPDATE #2): We’re stoked about the Artest deal but it’s stuff like the above and now this that gives us pause:

Those of you wondering what number Ron Artest will be wearing can stop. Elliott Teaford of the Daily News reports a decision has been made:

Artest will wear uniform No. 37 in honor of the number of weeks that Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" was No. 1 on the charts.


And Artest himself: “I think more kids should start getting the #37 for a great human being, since Michael loved all people. I think I’m representing greatness in wearing #37."

It’s beginning to appear that there is at least one side benefit to Michael Jackson’s untimely demise: one less potential stalker in L.A.

Ron, knock it off and concentrate on hoops!

KFI coverage put the funeral in perspective as Bill Handel and the morning crew, and John &Ken did a terrific job mocking the entire spectacle....all..day..long!
