Oh boy, Obama

Published by Karl under OTA, obama

I am not sure I get this guy.  Obama seems to be all over the map about several issues.

But his wildest yet is his promise to both talk and attack.

In the debates Obama took a lot of heat for suggesting that he would be willing to meet leaders of rogue states like Cuba, North Korea and Iran without conditions, something fellow contender Hillary took exception with.

As did a lot of people.

But now, hold on to your hats, he wants to invade Pakistan.

Obama: I’ll Hunt Down Terrorists in Pakistan

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists, an attempt to show strength when his chief rival has described his foreign policy skills as naive.

The Illinois senator warned Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that he must do more to shut down terrorist operations in his country and evict foreign fighters under an Obama presidency, or Pakistan will risk a U.S. troop invasion and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid.

OJ vs the Goldmans: Who gets the blood money for his tacky book?

Published by Karl under OTA, justice?

First up: OJ’s book was tacky. Period.

Second: OJ is an arrogant jerk. Period.

O.J. Simpson Criticizes Goldman Family

O.J. Simpson lashed out Tuesday at the family of the late Ronald Goldman, a day after they won the rights to Simpson’s canceled “If I Did It” book about the slayings of Goldman and Simpson’s ex-wife.

A federal bankruptcy judge in Miami awarded the book rights to Goldman’s family Monday to satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson.

“I find it sort of hypocritical that they talked everybody in America to boycott the book: it was ‘immoral,’ it was ‘blood money,’” he told interviewer Kate Delaney. “But we now see it wasn’t ‘blood money’ if they got the money.”

God I hate this, but in a sense he is right.  The book profits, were there actually any, would be the tackiest form of blood money.

Granted, OJ doesn’t deserve a penny of it, but in a sense, aside from showing what an ass OJ is, all this really does is showcase the depths of Fred Goldman’s hatred and his terrier like determination to squeeze every penny out of OJ.
