#1 Weighing out at 8 Stones, 1 ounce. I thought the stretcher-bearers were skipping along rather briskly.

#2 Family friend Rev Jesse Jackson said the family were deeply suspicious about what caused his death.

#5 And, not to be outdone in Battle of the Opportunistic Race Baiters...

The Rev. Al Sharpton is expected to at the Jackson's family home in Encino, CA on Monday. He will be there to discuss a worldwide tribute and how to preserve Michael Jackson's legacy.

Sharpton flew in from Atlanta on Sunday is going to meet with the family to plan a possible worldwide celebration to honor the "King of Pop"s" life.

Sharpton said this: "I'm here to make sure Michael gets in death what he never got in life - he never got credit, He was not a freak, he's a genius. He was not somebody who was eccentric, he was innovative and that innovation smashed barriers and he should be given a lot more credit than he's been given."

#9 And where were all of his so-called friends who "loved" him so well when he was living a life of total self-abuse? It is still all about persona.

#10 I find the anorexia claim suspicious. Recent articles quoted Mr. Jackson as admitting to being underweight and needing to eat enough to regain the weight necessary to have the strength to perform the contracted concerts. One of trailing daughter #2's friends went through an anorexic/bulimic phase; the key marker was her insistence that she was fat, despite being healthily muscular rather than her target of catwalk-model thin. (When her family's home life stabilized, so did her ability to see her body properly, so that's ok). On the other hand, I've been so sick that I couldn't muster the energy to eat more than a bowl of soup or cereal over the course of a day, which sounds more like Mr. Jackson's situation. Compound that with the incredibly high level of stress he was under the last few months, trying to pull together a concert he knew he didn't have the stamina to perform, and it's no wonder he was living on pills and injections.

Just my two cents.
