I like MJ and his music and I figured when all the people who are now capitalizing on his death were making jokes about him, that he was pronounced not quilty so maybe he was innocent. I'm speaking of late night comedians and news talk show hosts. Now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to milk every minute of airtime and dollar out of his death. I feel like it has been way out of proportion compared to the other deaths and events that have already been mentioned. I feel sorry that after he went to such lengths to protect his children that now they are out there for the world to see in their time of crisis.<br />Your post brought back some good childhood memories, I loved my glimpses of the weinerwagon and like you I know the Oscar Mayer songs by heart.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-57794693521759982842009-07-09T20:08:43.973-07:002009-07-09T20:08:43.973-07:00(I apologize in advance for this.)My son told me t...(I apologize in advance for this.)My son told me that Farrah got to heaven and asked God to protect the little children.

The whole week around MJ's death was like a spectacular train wreck - all the news stations "had" to cover it, and everbody "had" to watch. I hadn't heard about Mr Mayer's passing, either.

As an observer from Canada can I say I am very happy that the president was in Russia cause if he had been at home he might have had to make a decision whether to go to the service or not go, and you can bet he would have been criticized for whichever decision was made---he has so many other important things to do and seems to be doing them very well.

One of my favorite stories of his from this job is when he drove the job candidates coming in for some internship program that involved driving the weinermobile.
