1. Michael Jackson tributes. The funeral was over-the-top and worldwide -- but so was he. The streetmobs in New York, London and New Orleans paying tribute to the King of Pop were great. And no, I don't think it was an overreaction to blow out four days of cable TV on a slow-news summer weekend to cover his death, or his funeral on daytime TV -- Oprah's on vacation, for heaven's sake! He was an entertainer who filled countless hours of prime-time television from "The Ed Sullivan Show" to that weird Martin Bashir expose. Seen that way, this was a proportionate coda to a singular career.
