The State of California is on the verge of complete financial collapse. Their government is issuing IOUs.

Of course the IOUs are only going to the little people, the VIP’s are still getting cash… for now.

Today, big banks announced that they won’t honor the IOUs beyond Friday.

“A group of the biggest U.S. banks said they would stop accepting California’s IOUs on Friday, adding pressure on the state to close its $26.3 billion annual budget gap.”

“After state leaders failed to agree on budget solutions last week, California began issuing IOUs — or “individual registered warrants” — to hundreds of thousands of creditors. State Controller John Chiang said that without IOUs, California would run out of cash by July’s end.”

How is California spending what’s left at the the bottom of the penny jar?

“The Los Angeles mayor has asked fans of Michael Jackson for help in covering the estimated $4million cost of today’s funeral and memorial service.”

They’re so screwed, they’re actually asking Jackson fans to donate to the City of Los Angeles.

“We are asking Michael Jackson fans to help be a part of this event,” Matt Szabo, press secretary to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, told CNN earlier today.”

“We are asking them to contribute online and actually literally support this great memorial that you see behind us,” he continued.”

How does this make sense? Is the American media talking about California’s impending doom?

Nope. It’s all Jacko, all the time.

What in the fuck is going on in this country of ours?

Yesterday in Afghanistan, seven REAL American heroes were killed.

“Bombs and bullets killed seven American troops on Monday, the deadliest day for Afghanistan in nearly a year—and a sign that the war being fought in the Taliban heartland of the south and east could now be expanding north.”

Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives – you know, the idiots who passed the 1,200 page cap and trade bill without reading it – are currently crafting legislation to honor Michael Jackson.

“We reported recently about a resolution Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Tex.) introduced to honor Michael Jackson and referred to, oddly enough, the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”

“The legislation lists Jackson’s accomplishments in endless detail, from his #1 hits to the details of his charity work. At the conclusion, the legislation resolves that Congress.”

(1) recognizes Michael Jackson as a global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises; and

(2) celebrates Michael Jackson as an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security.

There is something very wrong with our representatives in Washington DC and they all need to be voted out of office.

THROW ALL THE BUMS OUT IN 2010!

This is Chris Rock talking about Michael Jackson after the second round of allegations. Rock’s commentary flies in the face of the media’s current deification of Jackson.

Language not safe for work.

A new low or high for CNN. I wouldn’t have believed CNN really filed this report if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.

Keep reaching for the stars, CNN.
