O.J. Redux

Yes, he's back in the news. Taking a break from his continued search of golf courses across America for the "true killers" of his wife and Ron Goldman, O.J. Simpson now finds himself charged with 10 felony charges and a misdemeanor that could potentially put him away for the rest of his life. The new charges stem from his "alleged" armed attack of a sports memorabilia dealer who was selling O.J.-related merchandise.

I would think that the memorabilia O.J. claimed to be retrieving would actually have belonged to the Goldman and Brown families based on the civil verdict entered against O.J. Most likely, O.J. gave the stuff to the memorabilia dealer to keep the Goldmans and Browns from getting at it and eventually the dealer decided that O.J. couldn't legally come after him for it. Of course, he forgot with whom he was dealing. The key word there is "legally". How ironic would it be that O.J. could literally get away with murder and then get put away for life based on this kind of matter. It would definitely be poetic.

Maybe he felt jealous of Michael Vick receiving all the anti-football player hatred and wanted people to remember that O.J. is the real deal when it comes to heinous acts and as horrible as Vick's treatment of the dogs was, O.J. can and has done him one better.

A Dr. Suess Parody that made the rounds on the internet a while back:

I did not kill my lovely wife.
I did not slash her with a knife.
I did not bonk her on the head.
I did not know that she was dead.

I stayed at home that fateful night.
I took a cab, then took a flight.
The bag I had was just for me.
My bag! My bag! Hey, leave it be.

When I came home I had a gash.
My hand was cut from broken glass.
I cut my hand on broken glass.
A broken glass did cause that gash.

I have nothing, nothing to hide.
My friend, he took me for a ride.

Did you take this person's life?
Did you do it with a knife?

I did not do it with a knife.
I did not, could not, kill my wife.
I did not do this awful crime.
I could not, would not, anytime.

Did you hit her from above?
Did you drop this bloody glove?

I did not hit her from above.
I cannot even wear that glove.
I did not do it with a knife.
I did not, could not, kill my wife.

I did not do this awful crime.
I could not, would not, anytime.

And now I'm free, I can return
To my house for which I yearn.
And to my family whom I love.
Hey now I'm free -- Give back my glove!!
