Hope I have put this in the right place.

Any of you watching the T.V. I'm sure see they are all on the MPJ verdict. Can you believe the crowds?

I don't know anything but in my heart, I hope he has not done the things he has been accused of. I grew up with the Jackson 5, the Osmond Brothers, then I hit puberty and it was Aerosmith all the way.

If he is found guilty, I'm afraid there will be riots again. I just really hope, again, he is NOT guilty and he did not molest these boys.

Now the political part. On EXTRA today, they talked about Sean Penn being a fill-in Journalist for a San Francisco paper. He has been over in Iran and Iraq since before their elections.

The best sound bite I got from the whole story was that during the elections (You remember, the black fingers, grinning at the cameras, etc), Penn states that the Iraqi people were told to vote to make the Americans ANGRY. Now if you were Iraqi, wouldn't you have voted? I would have. Also, Penn has this on video.

What bothers me the most about this is were any of our troops told to tell the Iraqi's this? If any of our troops did that, can they not see the propaganda that their Commander-and-Idiot Chief and his henchmen have been telling them to do to these people? I cannot understand the sound bites from troops supporting and proud of what they are doing. Of course, if they said anything different on film, they could be considered traitors.

I just hope Penn gets out with the video from election day and/or is able to get out with the information.
