Essay 788


A super-quick MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Certain illegal immigrants caught sneaking into the country are being flown back home. According to a report from the Associated Press, the flights are “part of the Homeland Security Department’s so-called repatriation program, [designed] to reduce the chances of migrants recrossing the porous Arizona border by flying them deep into the interior of Mexico.” Sounds like a job for Superman.

• The former associate suing Michael Jackson (see Essay 785) now claims the King of Pop asked him to adopt boys in Brazil. Even the associate’s lawyer was surprised by the new allegation made on the witness stand and said, “It’s not really relevant to this case. … I thought we were not going to go there. We’ve tried to be upstanding.” Hey, trying to be upstanding during a Michael Jackson trial will never lead to victory — or inevitable book and made-for-TV movie deals.
