Michael Jackson -- the first 2 English words I eva spoke. The future sucxs! -- That was artiste M.I.A's tweet on MJ's death. Twitter was awash with messages like these, slowing down Twitter for a while with the volume of traffic. Where were you when Kennedy died -- is the one question that every American a generation ago was inevitably asked..And now with Michael Jackson's death, the Twitter generation didn't need to ask that -- you just knew, in an instant, wherever you were, in the subway, in the bus, or at Times Square where people traditionally gather for every occasion, or even no occasion really. Hey it didn't even matter where you were -- MJ's death was all over the place even before the news came in -- thanks to online sites, blogs and tweets. If you couldn't make it to Harlem's Apollo Theatre, where fans spontaneously....

Knocked Up

You know the country's in trouble when the biggest topic of the day is about someone getting knocked up. Ok, so we've known that for a while now, but there's a new bun in the oven when it comes to wee problems jabbing at the nation. America's knocked up in so many ways that the best thing to do is to focus on the little problems, so that the bigger ones will magically disappear. So forget about the seriously knocked up economy, what's getting everyone's goat here is Sarah Palin's feud with talk show host and comedian David Letterman, who made a joke about the Governor's daughter getting, yes, knocked up by sports star Alex Rodriguez on their visit to a Yankees game in New York City recently.

Obamas' Night Out

It's the date that had one chaperon too many. US President Barack Obama's official date night with his lady, was a night out in New York--watched on by America, some shaking their heads disapprovingly like any well-intentioned parent would.

As with everything, it's all about timing. Some naysayers have spoilt the O party by asking whether it was the right thing to do, with General Motors' bankruptcy....
