I always chuckled at the idea that some bozo was out there who actually did commit those murders, laughing away at all the hoopla over OJ…

And as for OJ, I think this most recent crime proves he didn’t kill his ex-wife. The murder was committed by someone who was vicious, determined -but SMART, very little blood Anywhere AFTER the multiple stabbing of TWO ADULTS. No way was that done by the same numbnuts who gets two big guys to go down with him to a vegas hotel room “to try and get his stuff back” -now those are the kind of idiot crimes RICH celebrities commit.

But was it record youth vote as total percentage of voters, or just the actual number of youth voters was a record? Because it was record turnout across the board.

No, there was record youth vote and they voted for Obama by like 66 percent, record numbers. But yes, I think he also overperformed with independents, white folk and old people.

But seriously, I’m asking — someone just told me this, but I’m too lazy to check it out.

Hey, did you hear that the youth vote did not come out as expected? That there was record turnout, but not of new voters in particular? Which is kind of nice — it means old people like black people too.

A comment on my “racism is over” post from a black friend: “I know, it’s so great! The first thing that happened to me after the End of Racism was that a white MIT professor walked up to me and “congratulated” me on my historic victory. I was wearing McCain, Palin, and Reagan pins and stickers. I looked at him sideways…”

So disgusting.

I think the OJ thing was one other thing we agreed on. I thought he was no guilty for the exact same reason as you. Rodney King, though? Man, that guy deserved a beatdown.

As always, brilliant personal reflection. Gives some clarity to a white, canadian, jew over here.
Except one small thing, um, OJ? Seriously?????????????????
