O.J. Simpson gets his just desserts
The judge gives O.J. Simpson up to 30 years in prison for a
bungled burglary attempt. Thirty years in prison. Obviously the
jury and judge were getting revenge for O.J. Simpson getting off
for the murder of his wife and Ron Goldman. This trial and sentence
was a complete miscarriage of justice. HOORAY!

Rosie O’Donnell Live! was dead in the water. Her try to make a television comeback came in No. 69 out of 70, and you can verify that 69. This time it’s true. I kid you not.
Unlike Rosie we saw a great talent and lady receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Cate Blanchett. The Oscar winner is a real lady and a real beauty and the closer she came the more beautiful. Steven Spielberg introduced her by saying she was the best villain ever to play in one of his movies. Despite her always being nominated and winning awards for her regal roles my favorite is the comedy-action caper “Bandits” with Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton.
Hollywood is all warm and fuzzy around Christmas and the Archlight is showing “It’s A Wonderful Life” on the big screen so we thought we’d treat the neighbor kids. What? It’s playing in the theater where children are not allowed. The one screen that serves booze. Hollywood just doesn’t get it. Now I can see if they restrict “The Wizard of Oz” as I always need a drink to see that. Follow the Yellow Brick Road? Hell, I can’t even walk it ociffer.
The Lean Cuisine recall really hit me hard. Aye chee waa waa.
A new reason to further idolize Steve McQueen: his favorite beer is my favorite el cheapo beer – Milwaukee’s Best.
I don’t know if another manly man, Robert Mitchum, drank Milwaukee’s Best but he did drink and once told George Hamilton “they say I can’t remember my lines. Not true, I’m just too drunk to say them.”
I should have used that excuse when I was singled out by the Hollister radio station critic as the worst actor in the 1962 San Benito County Junior College production of “Stalag 17.” Last week’s Quick Quiz for 50 Bob’s Bonus Points was the William Holden 1953 Academy Award-winning character in “Stalag 17” was reprised in 1979 in the film “Escape From Athens.” And for an unbelievable 500 bonus points I asked you to name what part I played in “Stalag 17.” I played the blond, blue-eyed all-American boy who just happens to be the Nazi spy. Type casting. Sieg heil chee waa waa.
This week’s Quick Quiz: Name the worst film O.J. Simpson acted in. Yes, all of them but this one was so bad they gave it two titles as it flopped the first week and they were hoping that with a new title it would fool the public.
Tom Hanks is loved in Hollywood and quite the diplomat. When asked who was going to win the cross-town rivalry UCLA or USC, he said Chico State.
The last time I saw Little Richard at the Salinas Armory he was 24. This week he turned 76. Good golly Miss Molly!
I believe people who get married in December, the most frantic month of the year, do so because they are more committed and/or should be.
Richard Flores had the good sense to have been born in Hollister but claims as a little baby he had no choice but to move with his parents when they relocated in Gilroy. Normally I would say bad move but even miracles fraught with love happen in Gilroy.
In 1973 Richard was dragging Main when the song on the radio and his heart were in sync. Both skipped a beat as he passed the cutest gal in town with short, brownish red hair and blue eyes – a virtual rainbow of beauty with more riches than any pot of gold.
I was told there are a few advantages to making a girl’s acquaintance through the window of a car at stoplights. First, she couldn’t see he was a good few inches shorter than she was. She also didn’t notice that he was a good seven years older than she was.
A few days later they noticed each other again and even the car full of little kids with her didn’t dissuade him for long. For the same reason Vicky didn’t care when he got out of the car that he was shorter and older than her. While Richard could do nothing about his height or age Vicky merely got rid of the kids. They were her nieces and nephews.
Richard and Vicky dated with and without the kids and on Dec. 6, 1975, they married. Their best man was a real bozo. Richard and Vicky 33 years later are still married and their best man is still a bozo, but now he has gas. Mike Bozzo owns the 76 station on First Street in Gilroy. A bozo with gas.
