Beat It, Bernie Madoff

"I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror.
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could HaveBeen Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,Na Nah)"

There you go, the chorus from one of Michael's soul-searching songs. (I did the moonwalk in honor of our beloved--demented--King of Pop...did you? Did you join any Michael Jackson Flashmobs?) This song, Man in the Mirror, did Bernie ever listen to it? Did he, himself, look in the mirror while in the midst of defrauding thousands out of their billions? If he did, his own eyes believed his lies.

Michael's gone and doesn't know the world really did love him; Bernie's gone and finally knows how much the world despises him. Will both men meet soon on one of Dante's circles? I have to believe Bernie will be closer to the chewy center.

Bye for good, Bernie. "They're Out To Get You, Better Leave While You Can.... So Beat It. Just Beat It."
