What is up with Michael Jackson these days? We did a post on the fact there was clear evidence on Michael Jackson’s bizzare sleeping habits over the years. The news was enough to make any paretn shudder.

It is also clear he had recently been warned to change these sick habits if he wants to stay out of trouble.

So it is hard to unravel the ‘news’ Drudge linked to in the National Enquirer on what could be happening with the ex-King of Pop in the ME, right next to where our troops are freeing a nation:

Michael Jackson has suffered an overdose from drugs and alcohol and is said to be in a critical condition in Bahrain.

That is what the National Enquirer can reveal police in Santa Barbara, California, have been told by a source close to the singer’s family.
…
After the four-month child molestation trial ended, Jackson arrived in the tiny Gulf kingdom of Bahrain as an honor to the king’s son.

Jackson reportedly is a guest of Sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the king’s son, and was said to be staying in a royal palace.

Reports earlier this week suggested Jackson was still in Bahrain with his three children and their nanny, Grace Rwaramba.

One published report said Jackson was “isolated and intoxicated” on prescription pills and worried family members were planning a rescue mission to the Middle Eastern nation.

It’s clear he wants some pain to go away – but which pain? Is he regretting what he did, or regretting he can’t do it anymore?

BTW – in my humble opinion news sources like the NY and LA Times have become as newsworthy as the National Enquirer. NE may have rumors about aliens, but the NY Times has rumors of black helicopters and neocons. Not much of a difference.

In fact, I probably shouldn’t insult the National Enquirer like that.
