A place for the mind-numbing thoughts that run through my head

Light dawns on marble heads


Has Hell frozen over? Are pigs flying? Is Elvis really alive? Is Big Foot real? My world no longer makes sense because Rupert Murdoch and I actually agree on something! For once in its history, FOX has taken the high road and done something morally commendable, they've cancelled O.J.'s 2-hour TV Special called, "If I Did It"

NEW YORK — News Corp., the parent company of book publisher HarperCollins and the FOX network, has canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."

A dozen FOX affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the book's publication.

In the book, the one-time football superstar tells how he would have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman if, in fact, he had done it.
