We are two weeks away from voting in a monumental presidential race.  Every single day, we are bombarded with He Said, She Said articles, conversations, etc.   Today, on 7daybuzz, let’s have a ‘Calgon, take me away moment’ and talk about nonsensical topics.  Here we go:

Did you know that Omarosa (yes, the one from The Apprentice) is getting her own reality TV show?   According to Trump Productions (yes, Donald Trump is producing it – can you believe it?!), “It’s a dating show, but it’s business meet romance.  Love is serious business and that’s what Omarosa knows.”  Uh – okay?  Can we say, WTH?!!!!!!

Did you know that Terrence Howard was fired from the Iron Man sequel, but didn’t know it until he read in the newspaper?  Wow!!!!  That’s crazy, especially since I thought he did an awesome job in the movie.  But, he is being replaced by Don Cheadle, who is an excellent actor in his own right.

Did you know O.J. Simpson “was allowed out of his cramped cell to attend worship services” at his new address in the Clark County Detention Center?   Sometimes, it takes something this drastic to happen to get a person to go to church and discover Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Did you know that thanks to a new Internet-based service called inSPOT, people are now receiving anonymous e-mails about sex?  But they aren’t spam and there is no hidden ad for herbal concoctions to increase the size of anything. Rather, the “e-cards” are notices from a previous sex partner that the recipient may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease.

Did you know San Francisco is voting next month to legalize prostitution?  San Francisco would become the first major U.S. city to decriminalize prostitution if voters approve Proposition K — a measure that forbids local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex.

Did you know in this economy – what some perceive to be a recession – software giant Apple’s profits are up 26% – mainly because of the iPhone?  Does this mean McCain was right, that the economy is not as bad as we think it is?

O.J. was not convicted of those murders. You know, the murders many people thought he committed years ago.  But he has been convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos.

First the white Bronco and now a hotel room?  If nothing else, O.J. has been involved in some of the dumbest drama the public has every seen…twice.  Oh well.
 In the public’s mind, this is justice. Somebody finally got O.J. and when it comes time to sentence him (if I’m not mistaken he is appealing) I think he will be sentenced for those murders more so, or just as much as the charges he was convicted of.  If the 61-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer spends the rest of his life in jail — which is very possible — the majority of Americans will likely shed no tears.  In fact, if he gets a stiff sentence, which I think he will eventually get, there will be some cheers and high-fives in celebration.

What do you think he is going to be sentenced for?  Yes, I know the jury wasn’t supposed to be influenced by the murder cases, but I’m a realist.  Is there really 12 people who have no knowledge or wouldn’t be influenced by the previous trial?  If I was on the jury, I would be upset – you could say highly pissed off.  I would feel this way because the whole thing would be a waste of my time.  I would just be looking at “The Juice” thinking, “How can one person be so stupid in one lifetime?”

Who is paying for his legal fees anyway?  I thought a lot of his money was supposed to be going to Ron Goldman’s family.  If so, how does he afford what is probably an expensive legal bill.  Wasn’t he supposed to have committed these crimes so he could recover some of his valuable possessions?

To add even more confusion, and stupidity, to this whole thing, O.J. wrote a book called “If I Did It” about how he would have committed the murders.  Guess who published the book?  Ron Goldman’s family!!!

I’m confused.  Is the Goldman family happy he has been convicted or would it be better for him to be out and making money?  Besides thinking this whole thing – O.J.’s whole life since 1995 – is stupid, I don’t know what to think.  What do you think?

Does anyone even remember or does it matter anymore that this was a Hall of Fame Football player?

This morning, as I surfed the net, getting caught up on the goings on in the U.S of A, I came across an article asking 10 Random Questions about the current top news stories.  The article was thought-provoking so I decided to re-print five of the questions and see what your responses/opinions are to the questions.  Here goes:

1.  Can someone explain to me why women (especially Black women) think that supporting Palin will in any way further the cause of women?

Commentary:  “This woman is Ultra-Conservative (including being anti-Roe v. Wade) and if she had her druthers, would roll back the accomplishments of women in this nation over the past century. She can see Russia from her front yard and I can see the devil when she speaks.”

2.  Why is the media constantly comparing Hurricane Ike to Katrina to downplay the death and destruction?

3.  Are we supposed to be dancing in the streets now that gas prices have begun to come down?

4.  Why does anyone care about that fool OJ Simpson?

Commentary:  “This loony senior citizen was foolish enough to think he could posse up and gangster somebody—hell he deserves to go to jail. I’m just tired of seeing his ignorant ass anyway. He still doesn’t understand that he’s on trial for chasing white girls. The court of public opinion has found him guilty and would love to see him jail.”

5.  Why the hell are we propping up Welfare Queens?

Commentary:  “Ha! I’m sure you thought I meant women on Welfare, when I was actually talking about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While both institutions were initially launched by the US Government, both eventually became privatized. Now that they are failing, the government is bailing them out. Of course, we can all come up with reasons why they absolutely must be salvaged, but the reality is that goofy people talk poorly about average citizens who need help, yet have no problem with abuse of government funding directed towards military spending or corporate bailouts.  The housing industry, regulators and the media saw the subprime lending scam bring on the housing disaster, but no one did anything to stop it.”

So, tell me, what are your thoughts/responses?  I am especially curious to hear what you have to say about Question 1 as it relates to Governor Palin.
