Bookmarks: Some stuff to read on the internet - Michael Jackson

Every Day Is Like Wednesday considers the theological implications of the editorial cartoons on the death of Michael Jackson:

When we go to heaven, will we look like we did at the point we died, or will we look like we did at an earlier point in our life?

Britney preps for a visit from John Sweeney

Britney Spears has posted a fresh communication with a world she believes to have been locked in furious praying for her sanity, or something:

"The reason for this letter is to let everyone know that their prayers have truly helped me. I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by my side during this trying time. We are all the lights of the world and we all need to continually inspire others and look to the higher power. You are all in my prayers. Godspeed. Love, Britney."

We seem to have a vague memory of Britney announcing that her religion was, henceforward, Preston, which would seem to imply that she feels people have been offering up prayers to him - and, indeed, she's praying back to Preston. It's not clear when she says that "we're all lights of the world" and "all in my prayers" if she's working her way through a list. Surely not all six billion of us every night, though - that would be too much to expect. Perhaps she does the girls one night, and the boys the next? Or maybe she just asks Preston to "keep an eye on the market."
