The Michael Jackson Red Herring Conspiracy Theory

[chookie]

When I turned on the tv and saw Jacko EVERYWHERE, on logged on to the internet and saw him EVERYWHERE -- my first thought was -- oh oh, something BIG must be going down in Iraq!

Just the retreat from Fallujah and handing the city over to the Republican Guard. Nothing to see here. Move on, please.

Oh yes, and that pesky Joe Wilson's new book, whining about how Cheney tried to have his old lady bumped off because he wouldn't "think outside the box" about the Niger yellowcake thing, is being released today.

We all know that Mrs Reagan engaged a professional astrologer to pick auspicious times for the Gipper to do things -- and that seems so silly and harmless and giggly in view of the horrors of the current age -- but I am beginning to wonder if the Pentagon/WH times military actions to coincide with Michael Jackson's very popular public problems.

Sounds like a good idea -- retreat from Fallujah and hand the city over to the Republican Guard the day Jacko appears in court. Control the conversation around the water coolers.

If Bob Woodward's next book documents Rove, Rummy and Abizaid planning and synchronizing military operations over a copy of The Weekly World News, remember where you heard it first.

1. when he was first arrested in November. . .

* had just had a totally embarrassing visit to Britain, with over 200,000 protesters falling an effigy of him. He brought five cooks, insulted Her Royal Highness and trashed her 200 year old gardens with his choppers. Oh-h-h and she couldn't watch her favorite soap due to electronic interference from his security team.

None of this got very much press 'cause "JACKO WAS (most convenently) ARRESTED!!!!"

Thought the timing was slightly suspicious.

Since then, morning shows have frittered away countless hours discussing the subtlies of his case.

Not to minimalize the traumas these kids may or may not have endured. . . .

But what about the larger issues. . .?

Totally sick of Kobe, Laci, Jacko etc. . .

when kids are fighting and dieing in an unjust war only to further enrich the idiots in charge.

Where's the outrage. . .?
