Unfortunately, the atheletic department has had some problems with the baseball equipment. Seems the gloves don't fit...

Dear Los Angeles County:
Why not name a school after me?

Dear Jim,

I would like to know why the school was NOT named after me.

I wonder how many schools they would need for just Shawn Kemp's kids.

LOL

LOL

or Dr. J's?

you are correct. however, the burden of proof is on the prosecution. johnnie didn't win the case, the DA lost it. i know it's a cliche, but i would rather have guilty people going free than innocent people in prison.

as for the teddy bundy reference, i would feel the same way if OJ had a school named after him. but johnnie was a lawyer. i know if i was accused of double murder, i would want a vigorous defense. and that is what he provided. although i could not stand him, i have to respect him.

You would also need an entire town for all the women Wilt Chamberlain laid the wood to...

Anti-racism is a racist code-phrase for anti-white. The only thing more jaw dropping than the open hypocrisy of the system is the sheer shaky-kneed determination of conservatives not to publicly notice it. Cochran and his dream team concocted a defense based solely on racial solidarity, the sort of defense the establishment condemns when it was used in Mississippi in the 1950s, but makes Cochran a hero today. The whole trial was a classic of politically correct racism, from its unrepresentative overwhelmingly black jury, to it spineless and clueless Asian judge, to its brainless female prosecutor and her equally useless black assistant; as much a show trial as anything put on in Moscow in the 1930s.

Dear LA County,

You can't name a school after him! He's been out doing coke for three days with Pedro Guerrero!

Kardashian died of esophageal cancer Sept 2003. He faced an ethics probe when he expressed doubts about OJ's innocence. I think he knew he was going to die and did it as a way to clear his conscience.

Thanks. Hadn't heard that, but I knew he knew he had participated in something very very wrong. Guess he did what he could, but OJ is still out playing golf.
