OJ Simpson Found Guilty Of Armed Robbery & Kidnapping
Karma is a bitch and Justice was served. OJ was found guilty of all 12 counts in the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas, Nevada, casino hotel last year. He's still awaiting his sentence he could go behind bars for life.

Bush Signs 700 Billion Financial Bailout
The House finally passed the bill after failing the first time. The President signed it immediately. I don't have all the details but the bill will include the addition of a host of tax break extensions and some new provisions intended to help individuals and businesses made by the Senate to swing some early "No" votes.
Also, a Treasury's proposal to let financial institutions sell to the government their troubled assets, mostly mortgage-related. It would only allow the Treasury access to the $700 billion in stages, with $250 billion being made available immediately.
The bill will require the financial industry to reimburse taxpayers for any net losses from the program after five years. And the Treasury would be allowed to take ownership stakes in participating companies.
The bill would place curbs on executive pay for companies selling assets or buying insurance from Uncle Sam. For example, any bonus or incentive paid to a senior executive officer for targets met would have to be repaid if it's later proven that earnings or profit statements were inaccurate
The bill would set up two oversight committees:
A Financial Stability Board would include the Federal Reserve chairman, the Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, the Federal Home Finance Agency director, the Housing and Urban Development secretary and the Treasury secretary.
A congressional oversight panel, to which the Financial Stability Board would report, would have five members appointed by House and Senate leadership from both parties.

The Vice Presidential Debate
Gotta admit Sarah Palin rose to the occasion and exceeded all the expectations. She didn't win the debate but she didn't lose neither. It won't be a game changer performance for both campaigns but it was interesting to finally see this woman answer some questions after being sequestered for so long and hand picking ABC and CBS for her first interviews. I see why she was isolated she needed time to be prepared, she was a good debater but her voice is annoying. Joe forgot to bring that Russia close to Alaska argument of hers to ridicule her on National TV but he did mention the "Bridge to Nowhere".
Both candidates distorted the truth, mispronounced a few names, over exaggerated the facts but America doesn't double check that, the media does.
Trust me on this one Saturday Night Live will put her shouts-out to her hometown in their sketch this weekend, guarantee or I stop blogging for a day.
