Has Los Angeles lost its mind? California has been issuing IOU's in lieu of
funds they no longer have. These IOU's are swiftly becoming useless. (Maybe
monopoly money is next) Then, all of a sudden, a media icon dies (Michael
Jackson) and the city's mayor says they're gonna pick up the tab for the
memorial.....upwards of 1 million plus dollars. How? Why? WTF? It's only
Michael Jackson. Being the so-called "king of pop" does not make you a
dignitary. Isn't this the same guy that the state of California accused of
child molestation not too long ago? What's really going on in Hollyweird?
