Culture in DeclineBlue jeans: The new feminist uniform? (Henry Makow) - For the record, I do not think a woman wearing jeans or pants necessarily makes her look unfeminine or masculine, although in select cases it certainly does. Some women look quite fine in blue jeans. However, I also appreciate a beautiful woman in a dress or a skirt, and wish we saw more of it in modern society. Dr. Makow, in spite of his narrow-minded attitude toward the fairer sex and blue jeans, does make some important points here about the feminist agenda to rob women of their femininity.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Part of me is really bored of hearing about this tragic shell of a human being's "shocking" middle-aged demise. Part of me is upset because the nation is in the midst of a serious crisis, and is being led by madmen, but this talented yet pitiful man-child is all anyone cares about. And then there is the part of me that is baffled and downright puzzled about how a person with that much fame, talent, money, and the undying adoration of maybe over a billion people on this planet, could have been as pathetic as he turned out to be.
In all likelihood, this man-child was a pedophile, or something very close to it. He admitted on prime-time national television that he shares his bed with random children. Maybe he diddled, maybe he didn't - I don't doubt for a second that unethical people took advantage of this weak, pathetic "King of Pop" on a regular basis. Either way, no sane person would ever let their children around him. It is painfully obvious the man-child was a prescription drug addict of the highest order. Scores of plastic surgeries intended to make him beautiful instead made him possibly the ugliest and most bizarre appearing person anyone could imagine. And there will always be the mystery of how Michael Jackson became the first known person in human history to morph skin colors. Or, for that matter, why these supposed children of his look to me like they're from Norway.
Then, beyond Jackson himself, there's the media and public reaction. Many times in the last week I've had to grit my teeth because all I kept hearing is how this is a 'JFK Moment.' WHAT THE F*@! The assassination of John F. Kennedy - an overall honorable man, his younger brother Teddy aside, and the alleged infidelty aside - plunged a generally happy, confident, and moral America into pure chaos, rot, and despair nearly overnight; and the nation has never recovered! Most of the twits making this blasphemous claim were not born in 1963. Yours truly wasn't born until the Carter Administration, but I try hard to understand and learn from our history, and also to keep things in perspective. These fools have lost their man-child idol, and it's an event on the scale of the Kennedy killing. Or 9-11, Pearl Harbor, Hurricane Katrina, Man on the Moon, take your pick. What an insult to the memory of John F. Kennedy, and what an insult to anyone of intelligence and patriotism! And what a sick and sad commentary on the United States of America in 2009, where celebrity culture continues to trump all else in the world for far, far too many people. And the media peddles it out just like it's hardcore pornography, in order to keep the fools dumbed down and in their place.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the nation is literally falling apart at the seams. We now have the highest jobless rate - just going by the government's 'official' numbers - in 26 years. North Korea and Iran are exploding. And the White House and Congress are focused on taxing us to breathe, and forcefully search our homes to ensure we're using only government-mandated lightbulbs! But nobody cares, because Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has died and we've all lost of a piece of childhood. Just like their tragic idol lost his childhood at the hands of his brut of a father. Well, BOO-HOO. Michael Jackson was only a man (I think), and a very strange and very flawed man. He was a person with the whole world in his hands, and yet hated himself. He is no role model for any sane man, woman, or child. He could dance, so what? So could Bettie Page, and she'll always be a gazillion-times easier on the eyes than this freak. He could sing, so what? So can thousands, maybe even millions, of other talented vocalists in this world. Move on people, this freak show is over. Or at least it should be: Never Land, or pedo-land or whatever one wants to call it, will probably be the next Graceland - another living shrine to a tragic and pathetic fallen idol. Elvis, at least, had the good sense not to be a pedophile or appear to be one, and I'm sure he rolled over in grave again and again when his little girl "married" Michael Jackson.
Before I finish with the man-child idol, has anyone ever considered that he may have been the reincarnation of another famous 'boy king' - King Tut? Jackson's latter-day look is eerily reminiscent of how ancient Egyptians are depicted - the bone structure and what not. Wouldn't it be wild if Jackson went out with his own custom burial mask? The scary part is, I could see that actually happening. Apparently they're holding the funeral at the home of the LA Lakers on Tuesday. How quaint.
FARRAH FAWCETT, 1947-2009
Economic UnrestForeclosure filings in the United States soared to a record high in the first quarter of '09, and we haven't hit bottom yet ... The consumer price index fell for the first time since 1955, a sure sign that deflation is here to stay for awhile ... Here's an interesting story about a Michigan family who is cutting back, learning 'almost lost' survival skills, and finding happiness doing so. It's somewhat reassuring to know that in these complicated times some people are able to successfully embrace a more simple life. Of course, it helps if one has inherited a 40-acre farm, but I digress ... One of the largest operators of shopping malls has filed the largest property bankruptcy in U.S. history ... Retailer Filene's Basement is up for sale.Madmen in High PlacesMUST-READ from Pat Buchanan, Rendering unto Casear: 'Thus, as America ceases to be a Christian country, it is ceasing to be a democratic one' ... Gov. David Paterson of New York is at it again, as he introduces a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in that state.OBAMA NATIONDHS head honcho Janet Napolitano issued a half-hearted apology for offending veterans in the now-notorious DHS report on 'right-wing extremism' ... Meanwhile, radio host Michael Savage has joined a group that is suing Napolitano ... While the current regime is feeling the heat for the offending DHS report, Kurt Nimmo has revealed it was actually written while George W. Bush was still in office ... Rosa Brooks, a former Los Angeles Times columnist who has now joined the regime as a Pentagon adviser, published a piece calling for 'direct government support for public media' and creating licenses to govern news operations.SPORTSWow, just wow. The New York Yankees lost 10-2 in the first game to be played at the new Yankee Stadium. A bad omen, or just a fluke? ... My Detroit Red Wings won their first game of the playoffs, and Chris Osgood can hold his head high. Sorry, Columbus Blue Jackets fans, your guys are just not ready for prime time ... Here in Beantown, the Boston Bruins won an entertaining playoff opener against the hated Montreal Canadiens ... Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Boston Celtics great, and current general manager, Danny Ainge, who is recovering from a mild heart attack ... I just finished reading Sal Paolantonio's How Football Explains America, and it is a masterpiece. Required reading for anyone who loves the game of football ... Happy trails to John Madden, one of pro football's all-time great coaches and broadcasters. Madden has announced his retirement at the age of 73.
