I didn't see the memorial. I took my daughter and a couple of her friends to Hersheypark. During dinner the news show was airing clips from the event, one of which was Al Sharpton telling the kids that there was nothing strange about their daddy. My daughter then asked me seriously if I thought Sharpton had ever seen a picture of Jackson.

I told her that if a eulogist feels the need ever to tell the kids in the middle of his address that their deceased dad was not strange, bet your bottom dollar that the deceased was stranger than strange.
