Silly, naive people like me thought we'd have a little break from evil, murderous thugs and their devious, carnivorous, publicity-seeking attorneys. But no, OJ and his Dream Team were just the opening act. The main event is coming soon to increase your disgust about our justice system even more. Timothy McVeigh and his lawyer Stephen Jones are up next and you ain't seen nothin' yet. While OJ only put two people to death, Timothy, accused of blowing up the Oklahoma City Federal Building in 1995, killed 168 (or 84, if you give his partner Terry Nichols an even split). And Stephen makes Johnnie Cochran look like a backwoods, ambulance-chasing greenhorn.

This week, The Dallas Morning News published what they said was a defense document quoting Timothy's admission of guilt in the bombing and his statement that he set the bomb off during the day so the body count would be high enough to get his point across to the government. Exactly what his point was still remains a mystery. When confronted with this story, attorney Stephen commenced with his best Jon Lovitz imitation:

"He confessed? That idiot, I told him to keep his big mouth shut! But of course, that conversation is covered by attorney/client privilege, so I can't comment on it further, except to say that this whole thing is ... uh ... a hoax! Yeah, that's the ticket! It never happened and there's no such document and I can't figure out how they found it anyway! They must have ... uh ... overheard the conversation .. uh, no because there wasn't one ... I mean ... they must have ... uh ... broken into my computer! Yeah! Those dirty guys! My computer! How could they be so sneaky? And guess what else? We made up that confession and typed it into the computer just to trick the real bomber into confessing! Yeah, that's it! We knew someone would break in and steal that document! Pretty clever, huh?"

Stephen has a lot of extra time to speak to the press, since he can't sleep at night or look at himself in the mirror. Here are a few more questions and answers about the case that Stephen has enlightened us on recently:

Read it and weep. The trial starts in just a few weeks. We'll be hearing ludicrous crap like this spewed out every day for months. Then it's Terry Nichols' turn. And the Unabomber's waiting in the wings. OJ and Johnnie will be looking pretty good by the time it's all over.
