You think you Brits are getting an overdose of Jackson deaths news? We 
could have gone to war in the past 24 hours but you wouldn't know it for 
all the Jackson death coverage here on Fox NEWS, CNN, and the other 
also-ran cable news broadcasts, nd the main commerical stations' news 
programa were all Jackson, all day - and on into this day. So much 
Jackson news that even Pres.Obama didn't get in his daily on-camera 
moment as is the usual over here.
With no disrepect to the late Mr.Jackson, I would ratherhave spent the 
day fishing the Hexagenia hatch.
That's mayfly to you non-fly fishing blokes. Prefer trout to politicians 
and media oddities.No fish ever lied to me, they live in places of 
beauty, and bring balance to my world. There is music on the stream if 
you will just listen.
