I'm surprised Trumad hasn't kicked me in the head over OJ Simpson

just sayin'

In either case...Wow. (to whichever one of you this applies) My little kitty says, "Waow!" too.

(is it OK if I stand in for trumad here, my dear?)

Though I'm sure his little "fictional" tome, "If I Did It..." must have given you (or Tru) a bit of pause, eh?

As a biologist specializing in RNA (DNA's cousin, so to speak) I can say pretty safely that OJ's "DNA Defense" was the biggest bunch of horsecrap I ever heard.

"If I Did It..." and got off, I wouldn't have been dumb enough and arrogant enough to write down how I actually DID do it and then try to pass it off as fiction.

That, more than anything else, may have goaded the prosecutors and everyone else to really slam him in this trial even harder than he otherwise would have been slammed. As mad as most people are at OJ getting away with murder, that hole "If I Did It" shit restored the anger to as fresh as it was the day he walked.

If the sentiment about OJ was dying down, and I don't think it will ever die down completely, it was such a travesty of justice, proving only that nowadays, a rich BLACK man could now also get away with some of the shit rich WHITE men had been getting away with for a long time.

Progress. Hooray.

To be honest, I tried VERY hard to ignore as much ofthe OJ Trial as I could. Even then, I knew something was wrong and I knew the grotesque "coverage" of the OJ Trial meant something more, was more significant, than a simple celebrity trial, as afr as themedia coverage was concerned.

Now, of course, with the decay of the US M$M painfully advanced and evident, I can see what I was looking at all those years ago with 20/20 hindsight.

I was looking at a Cable TV Media already in an advanced state of decay as a result of corproate consolidation and the result of end of the idea that news divisions were a public service, and thus must be made as profitable as any other part of Cable TV.

We forget that the FCC, with Hitler and Stalin and THEIR medias in mind, wrote the original regulations, among other reasons, to drive forth the opposite point...the American, not the Bushie point of view. But really as little point of view as possible.

Now, of course, the Bushie Party-Loyal Sub-Media is, in fact, patterned after Hitler's Media and have been used as a cudgel to perform Gleichschaltung (the nazi word meaning Bringing Into Line) on the media the Bushies do not directly controlor control through their corproate friends.

charges were overdone. It's all good, though. Hi, CatWoman!
