Any official 10th-Anniversary of the OJ verdict planned?
I know this was a very traumatic day for Freepers across the fruited plain. Is there anything being done to ease their pain?

1. I'm sure the MSM will cover the occasion round-the clock.
There'll be retrospectives, celebrity interviews, computer animations, and licensed products. If any bad news comes out for the GOP in the meantime, the OJ coverage will go on for days.

3. With gas as expensive as it is?
You do realize OJ Simpson Edition white Broncos get about one mile to the gallon, right?

14. even in Virginia
during the trial, someone with a white Bronco changed his plats to "OJDIDIT"...we used to go the same way on our commute each morning...

of course, such nationwide moral outrage was noticably absent during the Robert Blake trial...i wonder why

15. Yes, it was absent for Blake.
Why, I bet most Freepers can't even tell you where they were, what they were doing, and what they'd had for breakfast on the day that the Robert Blake virdict was announced.

Golly, wonder why that experience wasn't so very traumatic for them?

by signing autographs at a horror movie convention the other day.

6. But what will we do to acknowledge the suffering of Freepers
who consider the OJ non-guilty verdict to be the worstest injustice in the history of injustice?

9. OJ is doing
exactly as Robert Blake and others acquitted of murder are doing, trying to get on with his life. This continued obsession with this case in which a black man was acquitted of murdering two white people is just plain sick. NO one would be talking about this case had he been acquitted of killing his first wife.

8. For what it's worth...
I believe PBS is doing a documentary on the whole ugly OJ ordeal beginning to end on Tuesday evening. I saw it advertised somewhere last week.
