SO, WHERE'S VANG?

Well, the obvious answer to that question is : sittin' in the jailhouse dressed up like a carrot. But seriously, I saw a short article in time rehashing what we already know with the addition of his daughter's shock and awe that he was capable of such carnage. Other than that and the usual blathering about funerals and vigils and ribbons ( in this case orange...because they are hunters after all) there has been little compared to the outright media storm of the peterson trial.
I saw a posting over at BartCop about the jury finally being seated in the Robert Blake case ( he is accused of murdering his girlfriend, but you already knew that) but that white hair???Damn! Anyway, BC wondered if the jury selection in the Blake trial was postponed as to not take any steam away from the Peterson trial. Well, maybe that's right, but if it is, why hasn't the Vang deal blown the Blake deal out of the water? I mean, the killing of one woman (alledgedly) by Blake as opposed to this zipperhead wasting 6 hunters in Wisconsin on the opening day of the deer hunting season? I don't know about you, but I'd rather hear about this "Hmong gone wrong" than any "Baretta vendetta", unless Fred the cockatoo was a surprise witness and Andy Griffith was the lead defense counsel. That would be some entertainment, now would'nt it?
Imagine Griffith, in his best "matlock" persona, cross examining blake's fine feathered friend.
MATLOCK: Now...Fred, to the best of your knowledge....did baretta shoot the bitch?
Fred: RAWKKKK!Which way did he go-which way did he go-bitch-RAWKKKK!!!
Matlock: No further questions your honor, and I would ask for an immediate dismissal on the grounds that asking a fucking cockatoo to testify is tantamount to the 2004 election.
Judge : Motion granted Andy, case dismissed, now...can we move on to that case involving the massacre in wisconsin? I understand chuck is in the building.
Matlock: It's "Matlock" your honor.
Judge: Whatever...give Aunt Bea my best, by the way...Now where is that Wang fella? Bailiff! Tell that Peterson asshole to stop crying! he's interrupting the proceedings...murderin' bastard...Bailiff!!Where is that cavity search video of Martha Stewart I requested? I really need to see that.

If you've made it this far into this post you're probably wondering "what the fuck"?...well I'll tell you what.
You can go to Court TV and read about things as "important" as Micheal Jackson's(alledged) predaliction to sucking little kid dick to Courtney Love's swim down the tubes to some asshole in weedpatch usa blowing a gas station robbery and running away from the scene only to hit a cow in the road and end up pinned between two lesbian truck drivers rigs... only to be revealed as the super toe sucking panty bandit that John Walsh has been searching for for years in between looking for his kids severed head (at this point, unidentifiable skull of a kid full of gator tooth marks). God bless him, but give it a fucking rest.
Back in the day, when you were accused of a serious crime, it was a serious crime. Not an opportunity to win a million on fear factor, or sell the movie rights to (pick a cable channel).
These days, criminals are celebrity, and you can trace the explosion into celebrity back to the OJ trial in my opinion...that was when the final barrier was knocked down and criminal acts made their way into the public's need for entertainment...suddenly, Baywatch wasn't enough to get off to, you had to see Marcia Clark and Johnny Cochran spar to get the wood.
It's pathetic.
So, back to my original question...Where's Vang dammit? And while I'm at it...where are "we" with the pro basketball criminal indictments?Will the prosecution seek re-indictment (again) in the Binion case now that the people who were accused of killing him have been aquitted? What fucking channel is that new reality gilligans island show on?Court TV's a repeat tonight. Have you got the first season of "Dog:Bounty Hunter" on DVD yet? I really need the pathos.
Something is seriously wrong here.
