Thumbs down on Chevrolet
Thumbs down on the Chevrolet dealer in Oak Lawn, Illinois that fired one of its sales staff for wearing a Green Bay Packers tie. Heartless and cruel, like a spiteful child.

Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson was a victim of his own appetites, and now we are going to have this lurid public spectacle as the powers that be search for the guilty, a spectacle where all the hanger-ons, players, and would-be celebrities compete for a few minutes of exposure under the lights of the world's TV networks.
Where does real guilt lie: with Michael, the media, his doctor, the industry, his father, his friends, fame and the pressure of celebrity, family, his adoring fans, you, me?
