    I hope they will give him his job back as CEO of Men's Wearhouse now.

    What are you talking about? LA burned from the Rodney King case, not OJ Simpson. I know, because I lived in LA at the time of the riots and the OJ trial.

    Try to get your facts straight.

    I thought it sounded like the GP was referring to the wrong case. Good to know I wasn't just imagining it.

    I propose that sort of error be dubbed the "When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor Fallacy."
