MOTO Headline of the Day: Lawyer Says (Michael) Jackson Is Ill

MOTO = Master of the Obvious. Go to your Yahoo! Featured News page today -- and that's one of the links. Michael Jackson -- ill . . . really??!?! How about mentally ill!!! I will not honor this goofball with a photo on LoSpace, but here's a link to the story:

Basically, the story says that Jackson's lawyer told the rich Bahrainian sheik who's suing Jackson for breach of contract, among other things, that his client can't travel to London to testify.

The story, hilariously, goes on to explain how much money this sheik gave Jackson for projects and expenses, reportedly millions of dollars, including $300,000 for a "motivational guru" -- money which the sheik considers an advance. Jackson and his attorney's are calling it a "gift".

Can you say "A fool and his money are soon parted" . . . ?
