Stop and Smell the Sports Memorabilia

OJ Simpson arrested in Las Vegas:

What have we learned?

1. OJ Simpson was arrested.
2. It is quiet in the hotel parking lot.
3. OJ Simpson faces six felony charges.
4. There is karaoke at the Palace Station Casino on Wednesday nights from 7 to 11pm.
5. Nothing is happening in the parking lot.
6. The hotel's glass elevators offer stunning views of the Las Vegas skyline. Maybe.
7. There is no activity in the parking lot.
8. OJ Simpson's mugshot is strangely inviting.

This is the saddest crime. When Al Capone was finally put in jail on charges of tax evasion, it was a trivialization of his greater crimes but also the fitting result of a master criminal getting greedy. But this? It's like if Mitch Albom went door to door stealing back all the signed copies of Tuesdays with Morrie at gunpoint, but without any of the touching, powerful lessons about how to appreciate the short time we have on Earth. Oh, and without the whole killing your ex-wife and her lover 13 years ago thing.
