Lots and lots of people know I sometimes side with unpopular, contrary, edgy views. Thirteen years ago I took many bets how O.J. was going to be found Not Guilty. All I said to everyone as we shook hands was, "watch". Why was I so convinced of that? Evidence. Or lack of it. The deal breaker for me was the all-white carpet in that man's house and how prosecutors couldn't explain how Juice could kill two people, drive home, run through the yard and pool area, through the back door and up the staircase, get ready for a flight and jump into a limo..........with NO TRACE BLOOD WORK OR RESIDUE IN THE HOUSE, which coincidentally enough, police didn't have access to the way Marc Furman did with the Bronco. Unless of course, everything went into a trash bag outside and Simpson got buck nekked before entering the house. All this within something like 8 minutes, less time than it took for me to type this paragraph!

I believe a little differently today. First, that book, If I Did It, was nothing more than Simpson's cry for redemption. Then there's what happened in Vegas.

If ever you were thinking about committing a crime, Texas and Nevada should not be on your short list for capers. These states have frontier / old skool rules and they don't take kindly to anyone cashing in on their ninth lives in the desert. As Paul Mooney would say.....O.J., O.J., O.J., What Were You Thinking? It's just a sad conclusion to a very unfortunate L.A. story.

We'll see if Juice' sentencing will be like an Academy Award: It's For His Body Of Work, Not Really This Film!

For about two weeks the U.S. held a television vigil, hoping Kim Kardashian would reveal some talent. The dancing thing hasn't worked out. We're going to have to find something for this poor girl before everyone realizes Ms. Kim could very well be no different than any other hottie with a big butt hanging in the clubs looking for a pro ball player, or two.

Let's see, hmmm, what else. Oh yeah....in Seattle news I'm waiting on a promo pak for a new MC named Decurrian. He has an interesting sound and a unique story to share. More on this later...

BUZZ FOR OCTOBER: Kelis sextape? Busta Rhymes and his Arab Money kids, VHI HipHop Honors, modern and tragic versions of financiers jumping out of windows, www.Z-Home.org, Moonsoon East opening (Bellevue, Wa), Wild Ginger opening (Bellevue, Wa), Gordon Ramsay, O.J.'s sentencing, SafeWay, 2009, Super-wealthy going underground.

WANKSTER FOR OCTOBER: There are too many to choose from, wouldn't you agree? It could be Dino Rossi for even trying to run for office again in Washington State, or the ten companies that have brought down the entire U.S. economic system we invented, or it might be O.J. for his stupidity, or post Hurricane Ike news coverage of people who just didn't aceept truth three days before nature spoke, or simply your neighbor for not recycling those Starbucks lids, which still have not been improved for better environmental co-existence. Decisions, decisions...

HE'S BACK WITH A SHOUTOUT: Sarah Palin, who has recently read my old columns and learned out to do a shoutout! Good for you, girl! Now we got to get you into Jesus Camp, uh, I mean, VP camp!
