King Of Pop Dead At 12
LOS ANGELES—Michael Jackson, a talented child performer known for his love of amusement park rides and his hobby of collecting exotic animals for his Neverland Ranch, died from sudden cardiac arrest Thursday at the age of 12. The prepubescent singer, who enjoyed playing dress-up and often referred to himself as “the King of Pop,” was celebrated for his naïve exuberance and his generosity toward other children. “This is a terrible loss for music and for all of us,” brother Jermaine Jackson said. “He had so much potential to blossom into a gracious and mature human being. As it is, the world will never know the genius Michael Jackson might have become had he grown up.” The singer leaves behind a large body of hits, 25,000 unopened toys, and nearly $400 million of debt.

Panasonic Digital Still Cameras now include a technology that can identify a genuine Panasonic battery. For the protection of our customers Panasonic developed this technology after it was discovered that some aftermarket 3rd party batteries do not meet the rigid safety standards Panasonic uses….After this firmware update your Panasonic Digital Camera cannot be operated by 3rd party batteries via http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/info/dsc_battery.html
That’s really nice of them to look out for us like that, because those 3rd party batteries keep exploding on me all the time.
The number of demonstrators arrested in Tehran on Saturday is estimated at 550 or so, which is less than those arrested by the NYPD for protesting Bush policies in 2004. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/06/tehrans-unlicensed-protests.html
Good Point… If arresting demonstrators was all that Iran was doing. The NYPD wasn’t shooting people.
Here’s my video I shot at the NYC RNC protests.
