dict spawned by the numbingly protracted cross…media extravaganza that has deluged all would…be jurors and indeed the entire American public with an accretion of contradictory details both densely pertinent and superfluousa huge shitstorm of information； misinformation； innuendo； and disingenuously reported rebop that backs you into a corner like a date rapist you can never escape until you shut down your electronic and printed…page access to the world； move to the South Pole； and start flicking penguins。
Oj。 did or did not shed his own blood outside Nicole's pad。 He returned from an overnight trip to Chicago sporting a fresh cut which might have been caused by his slamming down a glass upon hearing the news of his ex…wife's death or might have been caused by his slashing at the woman a bit too close to his free hand。 Blood trajectories are primarily matters of forensic and hard legal concern。 They lack the mass…market appeal inherent to hearsay accounts of an attractive woman's sex life and attempts to portray a career misogynist as a lost brother to the Scottsboro Boys； and until the blood…oozing interactive Oj。 CD…ROM hits stores； we just might have to view where that blood was spilled as a literal indication of Mr。 Simpson's guilt or innocencea niggling restriction to keep us tenuously open…minded as data rains down and inundates us。
The Oj。 Simpson case is a gigantic Russian novel set in L。A。 The extravaganza occurred in L。A。 because the major characters wanted to suck the giant poison cock off the Entertainment Industry。 It's a novel of metamorphosesbecause L。A。 is where you go when you want to be somebody else。 It happened in L。A。 because it's the best place on earth to get breast and penis enlargements。 It happened in the Brentwood part of L。A。 because homelessness； crack addiction； and other outward signs of despair appear at a minimum there。
O。J。 Simpson wanted to be White。 Ron Goldman wanted to be an actoran equally ridiculous ambition。 Nicole wanted a groovy fast lane and the secondhand celebrity that es with flicking famous men。
Her second…tier status extended to her death。 She became the blank page that pundits used to explicate her husband's long journey of suppression。
Nicole bought a ticket to ride。 The price was nakedly apparent long before she died。 Her face was pinched and crimped at the edgestoo…pert features held too taut and pressed by too many bouts with cocaine； too many pulsive gym workouts； and too much time given over to maintaining a cosmetic front。 Her beauty was not the beach…bunny perfection revered by stupid young men and the man who may or may not have murdered her。 The physical force of Nicole Brown Simpson is the glaze of desiccation writ large on her face。 The lines starting to form might have been caused by inchoate inner struggles； or the simple process of aging； or a growingly articulate sense that she had boxed herself into an inescapable corner of obsessive male desire； random male desire； and a life of indebtedness to things meretricious and shallow。
Nicole's relationship with Oj。 was deceptive and collusive from the start。 He bought the hot blonde that fifty years of pop culture told him he should groove on； and an unformed psyche that adapted to his policy of one…way monogamy。 She bought a rich； handsome； famous man possessed of infantile characteristics； which led her to believe that she could control him。
He bought a trip through his unconscious and a preordained mandate for horror。 She abdicated to an inner drama that would ultimately destroy her。
They both bought a trip to Hollywood。 O。J。's athletic career was phasing out at the time they met； he sensed that he could continue his nice…guy impersonation and ease himself into plum acting roles with his long…perfected chameleon aplomb。 He had made a second career out of disarming people with smiles and self…effacing gestures； and if he failed to hit the level of transposition that quality acting required； he could always play his familiar old ingratiating self； lower his cloning…sights from Laurence Olivier to Sly Stallone； get a mojo going as an action…flick hero； make big bucks； and score beaucoup poontang in the process。 He knew a shitload of wimps and tough…guy wanna…bes in the Bizgeeks who subscribed to the ruthlessness…as…strength…ofcharacter ethic that pervades Hollywood but had never been in a fistfight and loved to tell jokes about their wives leaving them for well…endowed 〃shvartzes〃。 He knew these guys； they knew him； he got a symbiotic groove going with guys like that。 Guys like that could make him a 〃biiiiiig〃 movie star。
Oj。 miscalculated。 His powers of sociopathic seduction were best exposited in five…second sound bites and best received by callow young women。 It should be noted that Oj。 Simpson is not the smartest motherfucker ever to walk the earth。 He is a man of great physical gifts； superficial charm； and limited cunning； who segued from football to Hollywood with an impressionable girl in tow。 He nested in a place where marriage is a shuck and a smoke screen for hidden sexual agendas； he brought a woman into the Inside World that the Outside World has been brainwashed into believing is the World Most to Be Coveted。 He got her hooked on celebrity the way pimps get whores hooked on dope。
Oj。 brought Nicole into a world where he was a second…class citizen。 He got small roles in doofus ediesbut the toughguy wanna…bes had no serious use for him。 He would never be a movie star because he possessed the expressive range of a turtle。 He'd transformed himself into a confirmed ass…kisser who could never appear truly heroic or dangerous onscreen。
Nicole witnessed O。J。's long downward slide。 She saw the essential bifurcation of his fame： He was a big cheese to the outside world and small potatoes to the world he sucked up to。 She came of age in lavish surroundings and reveled in insider perks。 She had a front…row view of her husband cracking under the weight of his emptiness。
Oj。 got his racial…identity wires crossed up a long time ago。 He must have figured his choices narrowed down to White man's shill or glowering rape…o。 He never figured out that the vast majority of Black men do not fall into either camp。 His appeal transcended race because he was an equal…opportunity con artist capable of snow…jobbing Blacks and Whites alike。 He fit into Hollywood because he had looks and name value； fawned and joked to the correct degree； and zinged some pseudo…egalitarian heartstrings。 If his trial bees a referendum on African…American rage and its inevitable consequences； a minute cause…and…effect examination of his life will reveal no overt instances of personalityforming trauma directly attributable to specific acts of White racism。 To offer the historic oppression of Blacks as a salient factor of mitigation in an adrenaline…fueled double lust homicide is preposterous。 Oj。 Simpson will have 〃truly〃 transcended race at that moment when Blacks and Whites get together and recognize him as a cowardly piece of shit who may or may not have murdered two innocent people and left two Black 〃and〃 White children devastated for the rest of their lives。
Of course； it won't go down that si
