I know I'm a little late with this, but so is OJ Simpson.
The sentence handed down against OJ Friday night in Las Vegas wasn't the type of sentence you get for stabbing two people, one of them your ex-wife and mother of two of your children, to death. The minimum of nine years Simpson got from that judge was for being a bum.
When he stopped getting by on his immense talent for carrying the football -- and he was about as great at doing that as anyone who ever lived -- Simpson thought he could get by on charm and on the fact that he used to be somebody on the football field. He couldn't act. He was just another guy on the broadcast booth. The only success he had on television was when he ran through those airport terminals in old Hertz commercials.
And then, when he was first accused of killing his former wife and Ron Goldman, what was his first instinct? He ran in that white Bronco. He was pathetic that day and has been pathetic since that day even if he was acquitted in this murder trial.
What really happened Friday night in Vegas, after that pathetic plea to the Judge, was that OJ Simpson finally stopped running.

Think how different this nation is today... on the cusp of inaugurating an African American President... than it was the day O.J. was acquitted in the murder trial. We were so racially polarized that day. We were still reeling from Rodney King and the L.A. riots as well.
We've grown up a lot in the last decade. Not to say it's all good or there are no more obstacles to hurdle. But maybe, just maybe we can finally answer Rodney King's not-so-rhetorical question:
"Yes We Can ........ get along."
Blaq - Silly.
Fuzzy - Oop! @ OJ's chains.
Dickspot - Are we really all that different now?
Don't think I'm a deluded "cockeyed optimist".
But yes. We are slightly, incrementally, different !
Great Change comes in small imperceptible steps.
And even if you disagree with me, we must continue on in the belief and hope (that word again....) that we are moving forward. Otherwise...............
Well I don't want to contemplate "otherwise".
Playwright (and fellow Louisiana native) Tony Kushner wrote in his glorious masterpiece "Angels in America".............. The World can only spin Forward............!
Yes we are different. Even if you don't perceive it.
I usually don't brake for dummies but this one just couldn't STFD and be happy he got off. I hope he enjoys life behind bars.
Driving on....
