Gettin' Sick of Being Sick...and of Sick People

Well, here I am on day 12 of being sick. Frankly, it's getting old. But you don't want to hear about that, do you? Neither do I.

I decided that today I was going to live up to the description of this blog and be opinionated. The opinions today are going to surround some of the legal issues that are being plastered all over the news. Yeah, I'm sure that you're sick of these cases, but I haven't commented on them and I want to.

OJ - How the mighty have fallen. He used to be such a talented football player and was making at least a little money in the movies. Then he decides to play "Juice the Ripper" and escapes the prison laundry. Now, he walks into a hotel room to, excuse me, steal back his own items? This guy needs more mental help than shock therapy can provide. Even if the stuff was his, it wasn't, as everything that has monetary value belongs to the Goldman family.

I do have one more question, though. Can he get a fair trial of impartial jurors? I think that any attorney would be worried that the jury would be trying to convict him for the murders rather than the robbery. Mistrial on its way, folks.

Michael Vick - Another footballer fallen by the wayside. I'm not going to comment on the dog fighting, as it is disgusting, no matter where you are from. I do want to comment on the latest bit of idiocy provided by Mr. Vick. How...HOW stupid is a person who smokes pot while on parole. Yeah, the judge in this case is going to feel a lot of sympathy for Vick. Now he is on house arrest with his ankle bracelet showing is location and is probably wondering why everyone is picking on him. Perhaps we should have seen this coming. Not because of the airport incident with the water bottle with the secret compartment, but just by checking the family tree; particularly the branch leading off to his thug of a brother. Sheesh.

Larry Craig - Oh, I just can't think about this one. It's so warped on so many different levels.

Brittney Spears - Here's another one that I can't think about. However, a group rate at rehab with Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Nicole Richie could probably save her some money, don't you think?

This is one twisted world we live in, isn't it?

Oh, haha, I didn't get that juice part at first, but now I do: it reminds me of when I was 5 and the original trials were going on and I couldn't understand what the big deal was about orange juice! I thought the exact same thing about the possible mistrial. Also, I believe if you smoke pot period, you WILL be stupid enough to do it on parole.
