Not much more I can add....

Ed McMahon died. He was a great entertainer, but prior to his stage
accomplishments he was a distinguished Marine Corps fighter pilot in WWII
earning six Air Medals and attaining the rank of Colonel. He was discharged
in 1946 and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the CA
Air National Guard.

Farrah Fawcett died after a long career in Hollywood as an actress. After
she was diagnosed with cancer, she became an activist for cancer treatment
and devoted her last remaining years encouraging people to seek treatment
She documented her plight on film and used it to encourage others to stay
positive and upbeat despite their diagnosis and suffering.

Michael Jackson died. Aside from his singing and dancing, he will also be
remembered for his eccentric lifestyle that included sleeping with a
chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere at Neverland, his
fascination with Peter Pan, and his numerous masks and costumes. He also
admitted to finding pleasure sleeping with young boys and paying out
millions of dollars in settlements to the families of these boys despite
being acquitted by a court on one allegation of sexual molestation.

QUESTION - Which of the above did the House of Representatives declare a
moment of silence for today? (Hint - It wasn't the first two..)

QUESTION - Which of the above's family received a personal note of
condolence from President Obama? (Hint - It wasn't the first two.)

Pathetic, isn't it.
