The City of Los Angeles, which is located in our national poorhouse (California), would appreciate donations to cover the costs of Michael Jackson’s funeral. (Entertainment Weekly)

Former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain spent $1.22 million redecorating his office earlier last year. And then he came to Congress to ask for a bailout. A true American hero. (CNBC)
