Daughter, Arnelle, Attacks OJ, Christine Prody
911 Called





O.J. Simpson's daughter, Arnelle - 39, "went beserk", according to the National Enquirer and physically attacked OJ and his girlfriend, Christine Brody.

Cops sped to the home of the disgraced footballer and Naked Gun star on Aug. 24 after he was attacked by eldest daughter Arnelle, 39.

"He was cut on the back of his head, blood was coming out the side of his mouth and his lip was cut," a source told THE ENQUIRER.

OJ and Arnelle had a war of words about how her mom, Marquerite, O.J.'s first wife has to work at Walmart just to make ends meet because OJ gives her no money -- but does support current girlfriend Christie Prody.

Many reports point out the similarities in looks between Prody and OJ's murdered wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. O.J. Simpson was married to Marquerite, his high school sweetheart, before leaving her to marry Nicole Brown.

As tension mounted, Arnelle lashed out at OJ for ditching Marquerite, his high school sweetheart, to marry Nicole Brown whom Simpson was later acquitted of charges of Nicole's murder in 1994.

In a rage, Arnelle shoved O.J. violently into a glass cupboard in the kitchen.

"O.J. hit the cupboard hard and the glass shattered all over him. He fell to the floor, bleeding," said the source.


The Enquirer reported that "Arnelle, in a moment of guilt, dialed 911 but panicking, hung up."

Poll: Is the Country Populated by Kooks?



Click to enlarge picture


The NY Daily News is titled "Blame US for 911 Idiots in Majority". The story by Andy Soltis, reports Scripps-Howard/Ohio University poll results showing that "nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the federal government had warnings about 9/11 but decided to ignore them".

Some will shake their head in sad resignation, others in vigorous agreement with those particular figures. However, what is really interesting to those who fret about the U.S. becoming "Jerry Springer Nation" was at the end of the story.
In the latest Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll, 811 US adults were interviewed Sept. 24 to Oct. 10. Among the findings:

* 42 percent believe the federal government knew in advance of the plot to assassinate John F. Kennedy, compared with 40 percent who call that theory "not likely."

* 37 percent believe UFOs are real and that the feds have been hiding the truth about them.

The 2006 poll found 36 percent believed the government was also hiding proof that intelligent life exists on other planets.

* Eight out of 10 Americans suspect oil companies are conspiring to keep fuel prices high and 50 percent said a conspiracy is "very likely." Only 14 percent felt it was unlikely.
And some finding from the same poll in 2006.
In that (2006) poll, 16 percent said the Twin Towers might have collapsed because of secretly planted explosives - not hijacked passenger jets flown into them.

And what hit the Pentagon? Twelve percent figured it was a US cruise missile.

Anger at the federal government and skepticism in general by younger Americans is fueling the popularity of crackpot conspiracy theories.

Only 12 percent of Americans expressed anger at the government following the 2001 terrorist attack, but that grew steadily and reached 54 percent last year.

Most young adults give some credence to a conspiracy theory, while seniors are the least likely to believe in one, pollsters found.


Is the whole country populated by kooks?

These poll results might be used to illustrate almost any point one is trying to make: that U.S. education is failing miserably to teach students critical thinking skills; that video games are the ruination of the Republic; that lunacy loves company; that the system works; or, that the "truth" is getting out.

Soltis' point is a good one: anger and mistrust at the federal government has clouded the judgment of many Americans participating in polls.

Once, only Democrats had to worry about feeling the wrath of that mistrust.

Now Republicans, once the party of limited government and lassez faire are known for 'compassionate conservatism', and other fuzzy re-labeling of federal government expansion.

The frenzy of Republican-controlled Congressional earmarks further alienated conservative voters.

Any presidential candidate need only look at these poll results to see, come next November, which side to be on.
