Why did they raid Michael Jackson's home the day he released an album?
I am no fan of the man, he is weird, but the timing of this sucks, sometimes I feel he is being targeted unfairly because of who he is and the money he has.

1. And because of the oxygen chamber
The government has been wanting to get its hands on that thing forever.

If not, how is he a smooth criminal?

5. Distractions, distractions...
Today's news features: Michael Jackson's raid, Martha Stewart's trial...

Good thing too, deflects attention from Rush's legal troubles and Bush's disastrous overseas visit.

10. Yeah, I forgot that, maybe Arnold set this up, no news of Bush in England!
Word on Larry King is that they have an arrest warrant for Jackson, no one knows for what. Perfect distraction for Shrub!

7. About the same time Bush was landing in Europe?
Well, ok, that is what my husband said when it came on the news today. Timing was good, though.

9. I've heard several mentioned the same thing...
it's funny how this happened the same day his cd was released. So you're not the only one who feels that way...

15. And the two people who like him can go buy it.
He sucks now, he sucked a decade ago, he sucked twenty years ago. The only time he didn't suck was when he was singing ABC and Rocking Robin.
