O.J.
According to Entertainment Tonight, after O.J. posted bail, he left the Clark County Detention Center and boarded a plane back to Florida. How screwed up the Airline Industry is that a murderer and probably soon-to-be-convicted thief and kidnapper can board a plane, but a hot woman wearing a slightly skimpy outfit gets kicked out of the plane?

One of the positive sides of the O.J.’s incarceration is that the O.J. scandal is generating business for some people. The book "If I did it" is flying off the shelves now; cable news are experiencing a boost in their ratings; and the O.J.’s are about to record a new album.

Godtube
Comscore, an internet site that studies traffic on the web, released numbers showing that GodTube, a YouTube for Christians, was one of the fastest growing sites on the internet in August. Apparently if any of your posted videos get more than a million hits you are guaranteed to go to heaven.

Blackwater
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Wednesday called on the US authorities to replace private security operator Blackwater, after a deadly shootout involving the firm's guards in Baghdad. The Bush administration apologized and said that they will send a new group of people that won’t be much of a threat for Iraqi citizens: A bunch of University of Florida police officers.

Keith Olbermann
NBC News host Keith Olbermann was hospitalized in New York on Friday after his appendix ruptured. President Bush wanted to show that he cares about one of his biggest critics, and offered him the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for his recovery.

Britney
After a judge ordered random drug tests for Britney Spears, the singer hit the Los Angeles nightclub scene overnight, Tuesday, and was seen drinking heavily. Apparently she told reporters not to worry, because one of her two sons was the designated driver that night.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner ruled that both Spears and Federline may not consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances at least 12 hours prior to being with their children. There go the chances for the kids to ever see their parents again.

Debt
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson asked Congress on Wednesday to lift the debt limit because the federal government will hit the current debt ceiling on Oct. 1. Mr Paulson said that if the debt limit is not increased, the White House might resort to drastic measures like starting to sell Bush’s memorabilia.

GOP
Most of the Republican presidential candidates decided not to attend a presidential debate at Morgan State University, a historically black college, in Baltimore, Maryland. Once again some rich folks decided to leave some black people hanging.
