Afternoon Update - 2.15.05

Good Afternoon . . .

Following this update there will be another in my series of editorial comments about the problems with PBS. Stay tuned.

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry has made statements in the past two days that seem contradictory. While that is not unusual for the junior senator from Massachusetts, it's just another way for Kerry to keep his name in the media spotlight.

As reported earlier, Kerry believes that his plan (still no details) for Iraq would put the US in a better position.

Now, in an apparent flip-flop, Kerry has said that he will endorse the President's request for $82 billion dollars for Iraq and Afghanastan. Huh?

Let's see, he was againbst the war, but voted for it. He voted against funding the war. His plan is better than Bush's and now he supports more money for the troops. Could somebody explain this.

It's just the flu. Michael Jackson was "rushed" to a Santa Maria hospital shortly before court this morning due to an "unknown" illness. The "illness" turns out to be the flu. Nothing very serious, but Jackson will remain in the hospital.

Judge Rodney Melville announced jury selection will be delayed for a week. Additional delays beyond next week seem possible due to the judge's calendar.

Was it necessary for Jackson to be taken to a hospital? Why didn't one of Jackson "servants" call a doctor to Neverland? Was the "rush" to the hospital for publicity reason? That one is easy, YES!
