My husband said I should not celebrate someone going to prison...hell with that, I'm celebrating! (He hates OJ as much as I do, btw.)

I watched OJ's plea for mercy from the judge. Summary: I didn't do it, but if I did, I didn't know it was a crime, and we didn't mean to be violent, what with all the guns and stuff.

The judge did an excellent job of explaining that her sentence had nothing to do with the previous trial, which is good because that is what all us civilians were thinking: the double murder is finally going to spend some quality time looking for the killer behind bars.

I hope he serves all 16. We will all get to revist OJ in 5 years when he is elgible for parole, and every year thereafter until he's released. So OJ remains a pillar of our modern culture!

He is a violent man. He will do something to screw his parole chances. My dad, who is a corrections officer, says he may not make it thru the sentence alive, as most guys in there loved their moms (he murdered the mother of his children) and most of them had violent fathers, and someone doing life without parole will not like the fact he got away with what he did, so they cannot be punished further. Jailhouse murders rarely draw a death sentence.

Another Senator Kennedy? The crazy speculation about Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat may not be so crazy after all. A Democrat who would know tells ABC News that New York governor David Paterson has talked to Caroline Kennedy about taking the seat, which was once held by her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy. It’s not exactly shocking that Paterson would reach out to one of the most highly respected public figures in New York, but this is: Sources say Kennedy is considering it, and has not ruled out coming to Washington to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate.

re: #77 loppyd

Paterson needs to get rid of his biggest Democratic primary rival, Cuomo. Appointing him to the U.S. Senate is the way to do it. I've seen Cuomo speak, and although he's not as bright as his father, he's more circumspect about going after Wall Street.

Dinged up not because I desire OJ to suffer, but because you're right. Also, consider the racial hate that first trial stirred up. If he's in a mixed population, some whiteboy is going to shank him.

re: #110 MandyManners

That's an excellent question, and I have no idea.

I hope you guys are right and he'll serve most of his sentence. This guy has wiggled out of a double murder rap, so I'm worried that he'll find a way to get out on an early parole. That and the fact that his parole hearings will be less about his conviction and more about the double murder. It won't be like the Manson family parole hearings: they were convicted of murder.

I hope he lives a long time in there.

BTW, did you hear the protesters screaming down the Goldman's outside the courthouse, calling them racist? Sad.

OK, am I just hopelessly old fashioned? I would NEVER, NEVER have searched for a babysitter on Craigslist.

Minn. baby sitter admits using child in porn film
Yahoo! Bookmarks Print Fri Dec 5, 9:35 am ETMINNEAPOLIS – A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to answering an online advertisement for baby-sitting work and then using the client's child to make a pornographic video.

In a plea deal with federal prosecutors, Aaron Jay Lemon admitted Wednesday to producing the video. The 23-year-old from Little Canada also admitted to coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.

The plea agreement says Lemon filmed the child in St. Paul after seeking the baby-sitting job through Craigslist. St. Paul police say the victim was a 2-year-old girl.

The U.S. attorney's office says the case was part of a project that encourages agencies to investigate the sexual exploitation of children over the Internet.

The office says Lemon faces a maximum of 30 years in prison.

That's funny. When I was in high school, the school nerd clique recorded a singing of Pi's digits, to the tune of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King, and actually got it played on Dr. Demento's radio show.

O cannot even imagine that. When mine were babies, I drove a school bus so I could take them to work with me. I never hired a babysitter. Either my husband, myself, or my very best friends daughter (rarely) was with them at all times.

re: #167 Occasional Reader

BTW, didn't mean to be curt earlier, it's just that the constant updates on the dropping market were just stomach-churning. Guess that's why I'm not a trader.

Understood.

You have to be a bit cold blooded to be a professional investor, after 30 years it does not bother me.

For people maintaining a collar or a margin account, it is helpful to know the progress. As the market drops some positions are actually making money :)

I made $28,000 in 8 minutes the other day.

I've always maintained that OJ's probably a coke- or meth-head. Both the Simpson/Goldman murders and the holdup reek of speed-freak impulsiveness, irrationality and overkill. Too, he's always had that weird emotional distancing from the death of his wife, which is classic amphetamine-fugue behavior -- cranksters often commit terrible crimes, and although they remember them, always seem to behave as if someone else was acting in their place.

He summoned the elevator on the 7th floor. It arrived. He entered the car. Pressed the button. It went down just a few feet, and got stuck part-way down to the 6th floor. After many hours of futile banging and yelling, he pried open the inner elevator doors and somehow got them to stay open. He could then see, from the back, the exterior doors leading to the 6th floor. (But only the top half of them.) On his stomach, reaching down, he was able to pry open the exterior 6th floor doors. He then tried to wriggle out through them to the 6th floor landing, but the doors must have suddenly opened all the way, and he fell down to the edge of the 6th floor doorway, and then backwards into the open shaft, which was exposed underneath the stuck elevator car.

Wasn't the original OJ thread the reason we have the ratings on front page posts? As I recall, even Charles dinged that one down.

Well, if I can't get a switchblade with a Velociraptor claw handle, I'm just not interested.

When will the 52% who voted for Barry get sick of him saying nothing about everything?

Barry on today's job numbers:

"There are no quick or easy fixes to this crisis, which has been many years in the making, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better," Obama said in a statement. "But now is the time to respond with urgent resolve to put people back to work and get our economy moving again."

That was helpful.

You have a lot of "swing trading" going on. Crush the stock prices with short selling to make money on the way down, then buy back and ride it back up 5%, then sell out and do it again.

You make money coming and going, but you need strong nerves.

Possibly. But I have a lot of trouble imagining the angles involved.

In case anyone's interested, I've added many, many new updates to my post about Dan Kliman's death over the last 48 hours. If you're following the case, and only saw my original post, you may want to see all the updates, because I'm trying to be comprehensive in presenting all the important developments.

re: #155 eschew_obfuscation

That's good. Still, I believe that you can't carry in national forrests, correct? Or some buildings in national parks that might be considered federal facilities?

Get's confusing real fast.

Nope you've always been able to carry in National Forests. You can even HUNT in national forests.

Of course, many have always carried in National Parks without any problem. There's a reason they call it "concealed" carry.

(from the aticle)

"Once again, political leaders in the Bush administration have ignored the preferences of the American public by succumbing to political pressure, in this case generated by the National Rifle Association," said Bill Wade, president of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees.

"This regulation will put visitors, employees and precious resources of the National Park System at risk. We will do everything possible to overturn it and return to a commonsense approach to guns in national parks that has been working for decades," Wade said.

I think Wade was Superintendant of the Shenandoah National Park when two lesbians were killed while camping. I suspect that if they had been carrying they would not have been "put at risk."

There are some nasy people living around that park (think "deliverance") but thing have improved greatly in the last 20 years.

They are.

Further, he shouldn't have been able to pry the doors open from the inside without a key.

The regulations to keep people from killing themselves by accident in elevators are very, very detailed.

British teddy bears strapped to helium weather balloon

After rising to an altitude of around 100,000ft, a webcam caught their 'space-walk' for posterity before the helium balloon burst.

They then fell to Earth before a parachute opened automatically to provide a soft landing.

During the 2 hour 9 minute flight the radio on board broadcast the location of the craft to a chase team on the ground.
