Sometimes we forget the greatness of people when they’ve been so weird and have a lengthy separation from their greatness. It’s a shame to look at Michael Jackson’s descent from the biggest superstar in the world, into the train wreck that most of the world, especially young teenagers, remember about him.
Here’s his performance on MOTOWN 25 with his brothers. It’s really magical!

It’s crazy that they gave Wesley Snipes three years in prison for his tax evasion convictions. He beat the major charges and was found guilty of misdemeanors, so the judge gave him the maximum sentence for all three charges….1 year in jail per charge. That’s usually probation!
That’s harsh. He’ll be held away from the general population anyway because of his celebrity status, but damn. I guess he ain’t pay taxes on none of that Blade money!

It has been far too many construction site accidents in NYC and the crane crash tragedy that killed seven people and wounded others on 51st street in Manhattan was just the most recent in a rash of deadly mishaps.
Check out a video of that March 15th, 2008 accident that puts the damage in perspective: (its from youtube by a poster named Thebeatmasta)

In the “what else can happen” category, some people had their apartments ransacked after they evacuated the building since the crane crash caused it significant damage:

Mayor Bloomberg started a commission a few years back to investigate and deal with the safety issue at construction sites. Its been 12 construction related deaths so far this year and from 2006-2007, the number was as high as 29. For most of the decade, a large percentage of the deaths were occurring in the outer boroughs and the victims were usually undocumented, non-english speaking, illegal immigrants. I wonder if the increase in accidents in Manhattan, in monied areas such as 51st street & 2nd Avenue (its not CPW West, but its also not East Brooklyn) and at high profile buildings such as the Trump Soho and Goldman Sachs building in lower Manhattan has has led to an increase in public outcry. Its nothing like an accident injuring an Italian or French visitor to put the fear of god (or lost tourism) into city hall and get folks motivated.
The mayor getting tough with the development community is causing friction! How NY is that, where a bunch of deaths don’t phase the development community. This is from an article in the NY Sun written BEFORE the latest crane crash on March 15th!

Oh me oh my, Obama so fresh, so clean, so fly!

I know of nothing that’s even half as crazy as the current democratic race for the presidency! It’s a conversion of the pariah papparazzo (PP) culture, combined with the media appetite that the PP culture has created amongst its citizenry and those two dynamics are then mashed into the one quality that all presidential contenders have: AMBITION
