OJ Simpson killed his wife, he has a temper, he’s a moron. But there is so much slime involved in what happened in Vegas I almost feel sorry for him. As for TMZ, they should win some kind of award because really journalism would be hard pressed to go any lower. Maybe they could have …

The Verse Nonsense of “Give Peace a Chance”
A friend of mine and I were discussing John Lennon’s ability as a sloganeer. He posited that Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” for all its fame, amounted to little more than a slogan. Where was the rest of the song?
LA Justice
Jesus where do they get these LA Jurors. If he’d put his crime off two decades Charles Manson would have gone free. Yes, the Phil Spector jury is deadlocked in what has to be the most absurd case of indecision since Switzerland couldn’t decide between Hitler and Churchill. Here’s a tip for you. If you …
No Future?
They’re back! Sort of at least, the Sex Pistols are reuniting to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their one, landmark album. Unlike other reunions, this band is in tact despite the death of Sid Vicious. As everyone knows their real bassist was always “Beatle fan” Glen Matlock. It’s hardly punk, but I hope they tour.
Battle of the Aging Rock Stars
I’ve often been known to mutter – Life was so fun until David Lee Roth started losing his hair or as Noel Gallagher once said “If John Lennon were alive today he’d be writing shite like Biker like an Icon too.” With any band with two live members announcing yet another reunion tour, let’s take …
A Psychopath with a Sense of Humor?
Supposedly, in response to his latest illegal escapade this time in the city of sin. OJ said “I thought whatever happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas.” I continue to feel guilty about how amusing this son of the devil is. Hopefully, he’ll be staying in Vegas or at least a nearby penitentiary for a long …
Lennon/McCartney not Lennon v. McCartney
Noel Gallagher: If John Lennon were alive today, he’d be writing shite like “Biker like an Icon” too. A friend of mine just sent me an article from the August 27th edition of the National Review about Paul McCartney entitled The Bard of Optimism. The article falls into one of the sadder conflicts of modern …
American Graffiti
Be normal, and the crowd will accept you. Be deranged, and they will make you their leader. – Chris Titus
Should OJ Get Bail?
Well he’s shown himself to be a flight risk, but he’s also been shown to flee really really slowly
Dina Lohan: Has Anyone Ever Lost a Debate This Quickly?
Jodie Foster on Lindsey Lohan: Can I just ask where is her mother? I mean, really, where is her mother? Dina Lohan’s reply: I don’t know what Jodie dealt with as a young Hollywood actress but I do know if it weren’t for her mother she would not be a successful actress today! Not exactly a very …

Send the Smokers to Auschwitz
Belmont, California is trying to ban Cigarette smoking in private residences. Jesus, if they’re that bad just make them illegal already. The news showed this really whiny guy who claimed that smoke was coming into his apartment from the next apartment and was giving him smoke allergies. May I suggest a fan?
A Final More Serious Thought about Rock Stars and Drugs
I still think that the recent study finding that Rock Stars tend to die earlier than the general population due to drug abuse was a silly waste of time, but let’s for a moment assume that it’s right on and 100% accurate. It leaves us with a serious causation issue. Is there something about …

I Fought ACME9 and ACME9 Won: Part 20 Finally Put out of my Misery
To my credit, I lasted a whole three days after coming back! A few people welcomed me and inquired about my health, but my new manager Mr. Pink didn’t seem to have anything of substance that he wanted to discuss with me. No updates, no words of encouragement. I see you’re back, try to make …

I Fought ACME9 and ACME9 Won: Part 19 I Surrender!
“Whiz” calls a firm meeting. He is introducing the firm’s new brokerage business. It is a very animated speech. You can tell that Whiz was in the air force.
I Fought ACME9 and ACME9 Won: Part 18 Fidel, Che, and Me!
Ah yes, I’m a reader. I would soon suffer for this once again. By now everyone’s desk had been moved. My desk wasn’t located near any other traders. I was amidst a bunch of secretaries, which was fine with me, but didn’t bode well for my future.
