This month did not bode well for the entertainment industry with the untimely death of David Carradine. Then this week, Ed McMahon passed away, but today was a tragedy with the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and of course, Michael Jackson. The radio waves are bombarded with similar reports of his death and I can see the headlines tomorrow. Front page news, local section, entertainment section, calendar section...and so it will go.
Okay I guess I'm not seeing the intense impact of this. Call me a cynic. I mean yeah, it is Michael Jackson, who is probably the Elvis of our generation, but it still riles me up a bit that this trumps global events in terms of coverage. But I suppose with all the chaos going on locally, nationally, and globally, it's a reprieve from the impending doom of our planet.
Anyway, in other news:
> Iranian opposition leader Mir Houssein Mousavi continued to urge supporters to protest and will continue to challenge the elections that took place earlier this month.
> North Korea warns of retaliation if the US leads an attack. "Let's crush them," was the chant of hundreds of thousands at an anti-US rally.
> The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the strip search of an Arizona middle school student was illegal

want but can't have
sometimes there are things that you want so badly but you know you can't have them. no matter how much your heart wants it, you know in your mind it's not a good idea and have to use all the resistance in the world to refrain from just going for it. i guess the expression, "cant have your cake and eat it too" would apply.
