I Believe...

...that OJ Simpson might possibly be the most screwed over man in America, if not the world. He was proven innocent in a court of law. Period. Then got slammed with a 30 million dollar wrongful death suit. In an act of desperation and extreme stupidity, he tried to regain trinkets being sold because they once belonged to him. I feel sorry for this man. The murder of his ex-wife and her friend was brutal and horrifying, but OJ has been tarred, feathered, bankrupted and shamed for a crime no one has been able to prove he committed.

...that people are scared about the economy. The good news, if one can draw good news out of the current state of affairs, is that it has drawn massive amounts of attention to what is wrong in our country - a greedy corrupt healthcare system, failing infrastructure, crooked politicians, an insane and dangerous trade deficit, outsourcing, ailing auto companies, etc. The bottom line is that this is a great country and we do really care about one another and that, with strong leadership, is what will pull us through and put us on course.

...that the hubris of the House theater to equate a Chicago without them would make this city St. Louis is an insult to St. Louis and all the other theater companies in the Windy City. The theater scene in Chicago, as I see it, is vibrant, exciting, creative and downright huge. And I have never seen a House production or been to St. Louis.

...that Rod Blagojevich is a douchebag. I have always been in is corner and attributed talk about corruption to rumor mill fodder and disgruntled republicans trying to manufacture a way to bring him down. The evidence he tried to sell Obama's senate seat looks irrefutable. I feel burned. Here's a man that deserves to share a cell with OJ so OJ can feel better about himself. I wonder if I can sue Rod for my "wrongful vote" for him.

...that cheese is the whore of the food world. It will sit on top of anything along with anything. It won't give you an STD, but it will leave a knot in your colon the size of a small fist. Enjoy.

THE BS NEWS QUIZ OF THE DAY


Yesterday, I asked...

"In a memo to all high-ranking officials, The White House issued talking points on how to refer to Bush's last eight years. It states, 'Above all, George W. Bush promised to...' what?"


37% said "do God's will."
- If this is true and Bush did do God's will, then God is dead. Or a real jerk.

36% said "keep America safe."
- And he has kept Americans safe from terrorists, just not from George W. Bush.

9% said "grow the economy and provide jobs."
- That plan hasn't worked out so well, not that George has noticed.

18% got it right with "uphold the honor and dignity of his office."

According to The Los Angeles Times, in case any Bush administration officials have trouble summing up the boss' record, the White House is providing a few helpful suggestions.

A two-page memo that has been sent to Cabinet members and other high-ranking officials offers a guide for discussing Bush's eight-year tenure during their public speeches.

The memo closes with a reference to Bush's 1999 memoir, "A Charge to Keep":

"Above all, George W. Bush promised to uphold the honor and the dignity of his office. And through all the challenges and trials of his time in office, that is a charge that our president has kept."

He has? George W. Bush has kept his promise to uphold the honor and the dignity of his office. How? By NOT getting blow jobs from an intern? I'd feel better about this guy if I knew he was getting a little something-something and not pointing his boner towards Iraq.

you have got to be shitting me,oj is one of the stupidist people to walk this earth, if it wasn't for his high price lawyers, he would be sitting in jail for double murders.what about the book he was going to write on how he would have killed his wife? oj is a douchebag who deserves to rot in prison, if not for murder just for thinking he was teflon and could get away with anything.

I'm not defending OJ as a human being. Just saying, that in a court of law, over ten years ago, he was found not guilty of murder. And then got slammed with an outrageous civil lawsuit for a wrongful death no one can connect him to.

Writing a book on how he would have killed is wife was in poor taste and an example the poor judgment of a desperate man with a multi-million dollar debt over his head and few opportunities to try to pay it.

And I'm not sure he would be sitting in jail if he had lesser lawyers. There was no evidence linking him to the crime. And since then, no smoking gun has emerged.

mark krause said...

in civil court you only have to prove that he could have killed them according to the evidence. thanks to the inept la police department the evidence gathered was tainted and that is why he was not convicted.

mark krause said...

lets not forget about him beating his wife, such a fucking coward,any man who hits a woman desreves to be in jail.

Joe Janes said...

I hear you, Mark. I am not at all trying to defend his character. Just saying that he's been persecuted by society for a murder no one has proved he committed.
