Essay 1960


Junk news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• 2,000 items from Michael Jackson’s personal collection will go up for auction in May (select items pictured above). Jackson family members are selling the memorabilia in order to pay off debts to a New Jersey delivery company. Jacko is reportedly “extremely upset” that his stuff is being included in the sale. Wonder how much of the merchandise belongs to Tito and Jermaine.

• A city councilman and conservative radio talk-show host in Texas has apologized for remarks he made about Native Americans. The guy said Native Americans don’t deserve the “incredible” amount of federal assistance they get. “We conquered them,” said the moron. “That’s history.” He also said Native Americans were “whining” because they had been “whipped in a war.” The councilman posted an apology online stating he was sorry “not because I offended people, but because I was wrong. … My facts were wrong, and the basis of my facts was wrong.” Somebody should check the last election’s results — let’s hope the vote count was wrong.

• Disney will now allow gay couples to participate in its popular Fairy Tale Wedding program. No clever commentary necessary here.
