Jeremiah and O.J.
''The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?'' wrote the prophet Jeremiah. Well, most of the time we know it when we see it. Sometimes we mistake anger or ignorance or passion for evil. You don't want to go bandying that word around willy nilly.
But evil and wicked are the only two words I can think of to describe O.J. Simpson's latest attempt to push his way into the American consciousness. A new book, "If I Did It,'' and a two-part interview on Fox are winding their way to us. And that's just wrong. Money alone can't be the motive for this. The pain this will cause the Brown and Goldman families can't be measured.
This guy is Iago-evil, nasty and brutal just for the hell of it.
He can say what he wants. I pray that nobody wants to listen to it.

Hopefully, the victims' families can recoup some of the royalties, if not legally all of them to repay the civil award never paid by Simpson to the Brown/Goldman families. There was some talk a couple years ago to try to win legal rights to OJ Simpson's trademark so that anytime money was made from his name/trademark it could at least go directly to his victims' families..where it belongs! Watch,OJ will probably show up on next season's "Dancing with the Stars".. now that would be the epitome of evil!
Unfortunately, OJ can probably circumvent the law again and have the proceeds of the book go some custodian. And he is clearly evil enough to do that.
