Sharpton calls for postage stamp honoring accused child molester

Here’s a mathematical formula that’s as accurate as Pythagorean Theorem: Black person in news + TV cameras = Al Sharpton must be around here somewhere

Which brings us directly to the recently departed accused child molester Michael Jackson.

Reverend Al showed up at South L.A.’s First A.M.E. Church on Sunday and demanded a U.S. postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson. And while he was on a roll, he demanded a national day of mourning, too.

This one will be harder to pull of than Tawana Brawley’s bra, because the U.S. Postal Service says commemorative stamps can’t even be considered until five years after the subject passes on to their greater reward.

There is one exception, but that won’t help the accused child molester. Deceased U.S. Presidents have traditionally been honored with a stamp released on their birthdays following the date of their deaths.

Prior to issuing the Elvis Presley stamp back in the early 90s, the US Postal Service held a nationwide vote to determine if the public wanted the stamp to show the fat Elvis or the skinny Elvis.

They’ll probably hold a similar competition with the Jackson stamp, but it will be far more complex. Do you want the black Michael or the white Michael? Curly hair or straight hair? With chimpanzee or little boy?

I’m not a huge fan of Michael Jackson. I’m really not a fan of Al Sharpton. But I think you should drop the “child molester” thing. He was tried and acquitted, right? But whatever.

I don’t think he should be on a stamp, but I really don’t care if they issue one if it will appease Al Sharpton and get him out of the news for a while.

He may not have been found guilty of child molestation, but I sure wouldn’t have let my children stay with him.

No stamp for him. By the time 5 years have gone by, maybe the hysteria that has surrounded our country this past week will be over. Of course, the way our country is going, we may not have a country.

A simple rule for stamps: If you would not let you child hang out with the person to be on the stamp, then he should not be on a stamp. I don’t care if they won the Pulitzer Prize, which I’m sure he will, along with the likes of Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, and Yasser Arafat (none of which I’d want my kids to hang with).
