There's been a lot of bad news lately - gas prices are on the rise, the stock market is in the tank, U.S. soldiers continue to die needlessly, the housing market is in decline, investment banking firms are collapsing, unemployment is on the rise, and Sarah Palin is running for Vice President. Amidst all of the bad something good - something very good - happened on Friday. 13 years to the day that one of the biggest miscarriages of justice took place in American history, a jury in Sin City righted a wrong and found Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson guilty on all counts. How fitting indeed is it that a man as lucky as Simpson lost his freedom in the gambling mecca of the world? How fitting is it that a man as stupid as Simpson lost his freedom committing one of the dumbest crimes ever - stealing back his own memorabilia. Couldn't he have simply bought a Sharpie and made some more? They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and they're right. Simpson committed robbery in Vegas and now gets to stay there the rest of his life. I sure hope his cell faces the Strip so he can - day after day and year after year - see what he is missing.

Justice delayed is ... Justice

Samuel Johnson, contributing nothing to the Internet, one post at a time.
OJ is a dirtbag. He should get the chair for his crimes and his stupidity. Hope the boys have fun with him in jail.
You a fan of double murderers now, Joe? Let me guess. You grew up in Buffalo (not Scranton) blindly idolizing that killer and think that the jury found him "innocent" for the killing of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman.
Only one person still looking for the killer of Nicole and Ron. Me.
Happily, your "search" officially ended Friday.
Great post. OJ is a total scumbag and his dirty deeds finally caught up to him. Rot in hell dirtbag.
You got that right DKPH. I am surprised some good citizen hasn't already taken that guy out.
McCain is cheering the OJ conviction. This means one less vote for Obama in Florida.
