Of course, I can’t say that…

With so much of the world grotesquely fixated on every detail surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, the news of yet another Hollywood legend’s death was announced yesterday with little fanfare. Actor Karl Malden, known, to some, for being the voice heard in American Express commercials and, to others, for working with a young Michael Douglas on…

Question: What do Michael Jackson and Pope John Paul II have in common? Answer: They were the most recent famous public figures whose bodies were chosen for public viewing after their deaths. Before Michael Jackson, another famous figure whose body was public viewing was Pope John Paul II in April 2005.  Droves of Catholics, people of faith, and tourists filled…
