Just Beat It? Ask Fawcet, Sanford

Farrah Fawcet Deserves Better.
It turns out that Farrah Fawcet had anal cancer, and she got screwed by Michael Jackson. What a horrible day to die. But if you’re Gov. Mark Sanford, the news couldn’t have been better on Thursday. If there was ever a better time to have an affair with an Argentina woman and to have it completely buried in the news, I’d like to know.
It doesn’t seem to matter that North Korea wants to send nucluar missles at Hawaii. Nor does it seem to matter that Iran — possibly the key to the entire peace process in the Middle East — is in a complete state of political unrest. No, what’s really important, is that a child molesting pop icon has died.
If being in the minority means not caring at all that Jackson died, then The Think Tank fully embraces not being the majority. We at The Think Tank wonder if most American’s who can name the top 10 Jackson songs actually know where North Korea is on the world map. It’s not a social studies quiz. It’s a lesson in perspective.
Picking up NYC friends at LAX on Thursday, five out of six stations were playing Jackson or Jackson 5 songs. The other was playing Nickleback. Horrible. Worse yet, the local cafe was playing endless Jackson songs. The asshole DJ, when asked, refused to play Independent Women by Destiny’s Child in honor of Fawcet. This did not sit well with The Think Tank administration. For obvious reasons.
I just don’t care that much. And The Think Tank is refreshed with that opinion.
More on the state of things later. Think Tank Out.
