There is really nothing left to say after the weekend long mourning/celebration of Michael Jackson's life...whether you loved him or thought he was a freak of nature. The media's coverage would've implied that it was the Pope that had passed away instead. However inconsiderate, other news did continue to occur over the weekend -- although SC governor Mark Sanford and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad enjoyed a little vacation from front page headlines. So without beating a dead horse.... last night Stephen Colbert commented on the overwhelming scale at which this loss has overpowered all other acts and ongoings.

That bomb in Baghdad sounded kinda important...
