No. I don't think you live down two murders. I just hope people continue to shun him and scorn him and make his life as miserable as it can possibly be.

There is even better news:

Nigerian Internet conmen vow to give back millions to American Churches.

The numerous dictators in Africa and the Middle East vow to enact reforms in the pursuit of FREEDOM for their people.

The religious scholars in the Middle East have vowed to consider REFORMING Islam so that the people are free to choose their destiny.

All of the corrupt businessmen in Eastern Europe and Russia have vowed to REFROM their business practices for the betterment of their citizenry.

China has vowed to end government corruption.

And more importantly, the male dominated third world governments on the planet have vowed to treat women as equals.

As Louie would say, "What a beautiful world......"

Oh, that's hilarious, considering he and his son are up to their eyeballs in it. ROFL, Kofi.

Sure... He, OJ and Scott Peterson can all work together to find the culprits.

Why are all you people so tough on Incompetent Kofi?

Can't you see the guy's got his hands full, wining and dining in New York's five-star restaurants? How is he supposed to make time for sorting out these endless annoying scandals, with a gruelling schedule like that?

C'mon, and now you expect him to show LEADERSHIP, something he's never displayed before? Are you people dreaming?!

(OK, enough sarcasm, you get the point...)

Secretary-General Kofi Annan pledged Friday to get to the bottom of any wrongdoing by the United Nations in the Iraq oil-for-food scandal.

Like OJ searching for the "real killer"...

Something just doesn't feel right anymore about this, in light of Volcker's very own conflict of interest with the UN... it seems to me like he is going to lower the boom on Sevon, and let Koffi off the hook... anyone feelin' me on this as well?

Of course this doesn't feel right. Clearly the UN is as corrupt as can be, so naturally it's going to stink to high heaven.

Volcker is not the only game in town, however, and Congress (the Republicans seem to be acting honorably of late) and the DOJ are on the case, too. Don't forget the recent plea from Samir Vincent who is "cooperating". And that is separate from this sham investigation.

Fortunately Scott is otherwise engaged at the moment and hopefully will remain so right up into the point where the IV line starts pumping.

OJ and Kofi should make a good team, although Kofi's white wife might get a little nervous about Kofi's new best friend.
