Okay, so it looks like we don't get another O.J. Murder Trial…yet. I still can't get past the hunch that, one of these days, that man is going to do something that all the Johnnie Cochrans in the world can't save him from. Daniel Petrocelli, the lawyer who won the huge judgment against Simpson on behalf of the Goldman family, has said that he thinks O.J. will someday confess. Out of some mixture of pride, guilt and pure insanity, he has been "confessing incrementally," letting little things slip, says Petrocelli. Maybe that's it…but the story feels like it needs a more ironic Third Act. (Petrocelli, by the way, is the lawyer currently representing Disney in the Winnie the Pooh case. Looks like this time, it's Petrocelli who's on the indefensible side.)
Enron question: Didn't I read somewhere that, back in Texas, George W. Bush was involved in several business deals where the company went under, investors and employees lost a bundle, but the guys at the top (i.e., Bush) made out like bandits? If this is so, how long before Democrats and/or reporters start dredging up such stories, suggesting that, even in our President didn't do anything wrong vis-a-vis Enron, the company was only following his business model?
