When Michael Jackson's father, Joe, appeared at last month's tribute to his son in their former hometown of Gary, Indiana, it was, apparently, for a price. Seems that Jackson's fee is included in a $5,000 bill the city of Gary has to pay, but Mayor Rudy Clay insists that once other bills are collected and donations counted, the city will actually profit from the celebration: "It turned out beautiful and great and we're not using taxpayers' money, so we should be given a blue ribbon for prudence."

Finally, something we can all agree the government should pay for, the memorializing of child molesters.
Come now. Everyone wants to paint Joe Jackson as a villain, but this story is inaccurate. The mayor of Gary says he paid for Jackson and the band, The Chi-Lites to fly to Indiana. All other travel and board costs were paid by the respective parties. The "Joe's a Craven Bastard" meme is getting tired.
