I’m catching some flack for daring to criticize Sarah Palin’s sophmoric (in my view) advocacy about “death boards” and “evil” in Obamacare. If Palin is going to have impact beyond her own choir, she needs to improve her game. And I didn’t say she should shut up, I wrote she should improve how she makes her points.
But now for a diversion. This ancient sculpture from Egypt looks eerily like a recently deceased rock star. Here’s the story.
The Pharaoh of Pop doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as King of Pop, but visitors to Chicago’s Field Museum could swear that’s Jacko’s face on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian bust.
The spitting image limestone sculpture has been on display at the museum since 1988, but recently started drawing attention because of its likeness to Jacko —- complete with disfigured nose.
Yikes.
