Today Michael Jackson’s body made its way from Forest Lawn Cemetery to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angles this morning. His Gold casket (custom ordered from Batesville Casket Co. in Indiana @ a reported cost of $25,000) in a black Cadillac hearse. It was followed by many black Range Rover’s containing his family members including his 3 children. There were no tossing of flowers and no one threw themselves off an over pass. He was escorted by the LA swat team. I saw no people prostrate with grief. The memorial itself was touching and entertaining. Lots of big stars singing and speaking Queen Latifah gave a very moving speech. I am assuming his body will be returned to Forest Lawn for burial after the tributes are all over. All in all it was a very touching memorial. Music lost an icon, but Paris and her brothers Michael II and Michael III (Blanket) lost their father. Over 1 billion people were expected to watch it on TV or livestream on the internet. My fear is the internet is going to break today. And all our TV’s will explode and the earth will shake and California will fall into the ocean. He's either moonwalking in Heaven right now or experiencing an episode of flaming hair deja vu somewhere in Hell. I respect Michael Jackson for his incredible talent. I feel sorry for him and his family for the very sad personal life he endured. I have endured the endless parade of stone-faced and somber commentator’s remark one after another about the "tragic" passing of Michael and how music's brightest light has just been extinguished for almost 2 full weeks and it is just a little more than I can take. See you tomorrow. Same Bat Time Same Bat Channel

I’ve been a little depressed.
A lot of Wayne Industries Assets were tied up in housing market. The bust has left me more or less broke. Poor Alfred followed my investment lead and lost his retirement fund. He had to take on a second job as a bartender.
Robin has left me. There’s word on the street that he’s dancing at Chipendale's and is spending his nights with The Green Arrow. I’d rather not know.
One of my ear points has flopped over and I can’t afford a new cowl. The batmobile is up on cinder blocks at a storage site in Gotham City.
So I mostly hang out in the cave staring at the wall.
