Meanwhile, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, has ignited a fierce debate by calling on Congress to recognize Jackson as a "global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises" and celebrate the King of Pop as "an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security."

The resolution, which was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the day after Jackson's death June 25, lists the singer's accomplishments as a musical icon in detail, including his record-breaking album sales and two-time induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The resolution also cites Jackson's "humanitarian" work, including his 1984 visit to a burn unit at a Los Angeles hospital and his decision to grant a dying 14-year-old's request to visit his home.

How much friggin time and tax dollars is being spent on this worthless resolution that has nothing to do with the governance of the country!? HOLY CRAP!

The media spends hours upon hours of airtime lamenting the death of this worthless sack and yet they give a 30 second blurb about the seven US soldiers killed in Afghanistan on Monday.

Fucking ridiculous.

We must judge him by his words and his intent, not what he actually did.
After all, it doesn't matter if your black or white, as long as you carry me like you are my brother and love me like a mother, just watch out and make sure your not struck by.....a smooth criminal.
