It has taken me rather a long time to realise that there is, in fact, no-one currently in Parliament fit to lead this country (Australia, for any overseas visitors).
It's fast becoming my opinion that (apart from Joe Hockey, who is awesome, and has an awesome name) everyone in Canberra, from top to bottom, is woefully inept at their jobs, and the country is suffering greatly under the yoke of Rudd and Swan's incompetence. It can't be mistaken - or hidden - any longer.
Anyway, of more immediate interest is the death of Michael Jackson. People have been ranting and raving about how he was an awful person, etc, and to be honest, I'm a bit sick of it. Fact is, peeps, that he was told he was practically God from before he was 10, was paid insane amounts of money, and had people worship him. Now, given that not many people experience this, I think it's a fair thing to say: "Don't Judge."
More importantly that his character flaws (or, eccentricities, as they could more accurately be described) was the incredible scope, power, and brilliance of his music. People have also been crapping on about how "heaps of people die every day, what makes this one so special?" Well, you ignorant tossers, quite aside from being one of the most successful entertainers of all time, his music touched the lives of millions of people, across decades, and generations. That's why.
To be fair, it was a good career-saving move. Everyone knows that you become more popular as a musician after death. Just ask Jeff Buckley. Hallelujah.

Yes Michael...we tend to always focus on what people do or, in this case did rather than who they are or were.
