So much is going on these days to ridicule and so little time …
The Ojays
Remember that song by the Ojays, “The Back Stabber?” Well, that is not what I aim to discuss briefly. It’s the other OJ, or as his Clark County, Nev., jail record reads:
02648927 SIMPSON, ORENTHAL J 60 Black Male
ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
ROBBERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
ROBBERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
BURGLARY WITH USE OF DEADLY WEAPON
CONSP ROBBERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
There isn’t much to see on the jail record other than the above but if you want to check it out, go here and enter “Simpson.” You’ll get Orenthal if he is still in custody or perhaps even Bart and Homer.
Gee Dubya names new A Gee
U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey, chief judge of the Southern New York district, was nominated today to be Gee Dubya’s third attorney general. The last two picks were stone cold losers so, for the sake of the nation, let’s hope the third one is a charm. But somehow I doubt it.
Speaking of three-time losers
One thing I can say about the Grand Old Party is that they certainly have a plethora of choices when it comes to potential presidential candidates. Now that is even more the case since Alan Keyes has decided on a third (most likely failing) try for the Republican presidential nomination.
He was a GOP throw-down candidate in the Illinois senate race in which Barack Obama beat Keyes by almost 45 points, or as football coaches here in Texas like to say, “beaten like a rented mule.” I almost feel sorry for him but Keyes is a grown man and he should learn from his mistakes — if not three times then perhaps from a fourth.
