News Jog 9/20/07

The Jog is almost, but not quite, sick and tired of O.J. 2.0. There's something about imagery of Simpson riding in a car at low speeds that takes us back to the good old days. As we were watching the low speed non-chase here in the hallowed halls of Jog Central yesterday it occurred to us that this kind of entertainment shouldn't be kept to 12 year intervals. Why should we have to wait for 'the Juice' to have his next night of frenzy to enjoy ourselves this much? If we were TV producers we'd buy a helicopter and videotape every vehicle excursion the Hall of Famer has and start our own 24 hour network. The O.J. Network- all O.J. in a car, all the time. You may smirk but we can smell the money already.

Okay- so maybe we were wrong about that couple killing their kid in Portugal. Nobody's perfect:

Is this really a debatable question?

There's plenty more News,
but there's no more News Jog.
We're done.
