Why is wikipedia so great? There are so many reasons why... while flipping through a trivia question from someone about Napoleon, I ran across the self-appointed, Emperor of the United States. No kidding. Its worth a read, but to cut it short, its a man with a suspected mental health issue whom not only won over the people of San Francisco 120 years ago, but did it in such a way that no one seemed to be bothered by it all. Imagine a mental paitient walking around, declaring that Congress is null and void, and calling out Winfield Scott [hero of the Mexican-American War] to serve some walking papers to these wannabe's. Eventually, like all schizo's, he died penniless and was given a paupers grave... until... a local buisness club decided to sponsor it all and award the Emperor his necessary burial. Not bad for a guy that wore a feather on his hat and wore the Captain-Crunch jacket... something maybe Jacko could strive to beat!

Wikipedia article: Joshua Norton. Emperor, United States of America.

After doing my best to find something else to write about... how can I miss this opportunity?

Yes folks, thats Jacko in drag. Not only is he in drag, but hes in drag in public... and not his normal publicity appearance.... where he breaks out the creepy surgical mask, or the Captain Crunch looking jacket with the sun glasses... this is pure Jacko, just walking around the french riveria, with his kids.

No, you didnt miss that. WITH HIS KIDS. Here's what I don't get. Be gay. Be a pedophile. Be that creepy guy who bleaches his skin. Wear tube socks with black loafers and short pants. Be that guy that has the weird germ fetish and busts out the gloves and masks. Be the guy thats just so creepy, we presume hes a-sexual. But don't pull all of that crap, then tow your kids around in public. Its not like his kids dont get it. Obviously, life is fucked up for them. When dad is trying to seduce children half your age... errrr allegedly... and youre 9... thats fucked. When dad has to move from country to country to escape prosecution... thats fucked. When dad owns a zoo, but calls it a house, that has a roller coaster outside... thats fucked. When dad owns the back catalog to the Beatles... thats fucked. But if these kids didnt realize something was wrong at this point; you walking around in drag, with heels and everything, is probably going to send them some signals.

How does that conversation go? "Uhm Dado. Would you quit dancing on the table and talk to me? Yeah... first off... why do we have to keep moving? Why do the newspapers say you play with little boys? Why dont we have a mommy? And what the hell is up with you wearing womens clothes?"

Jacko. Priceless. What kind of a father does that? Im not out to knock gay guys. Or cross dressering guy. Or pedophile guy. Or latex fetish guy. Or even skin bleaching guy. But what kind of guy does ALL of those things, and things his kids will turn out normal? Hell, he named the kid Prince. Prince. Thats a fucking title, not a name. That alone goes on my list of dumb ass names to give your kids [Including the likes of shit names: Piper, Mackenzie, Carter, Bryce, Jayden. and including the names that are titles; Govenor [Morris], Major [Garret] , Duke [Castiglione], Usher]. Anyway... getting past all of that, these kids should know by now that life is screwed up... the last thing they need is to worry about why dad is wearing his sun hat and heels, and is putting on his make up in the women's bathroom. What a loon. Gotta love the Jacko news.
