Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.


It Friday. Cold and rainy. People getting ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Not much going on. What better way to spice up the day than re-open a 30 year old case that’s been long put to bed? Today, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office announced that they have received “new evidence” that warrants taking another look at the mysterious death of Hollywood Actress Natalie Wood.

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!

The wild pack sometimes known as the “news media” were all too eager to sop up this saga.  It’s got everything. Hollywood Stars! Possible threesomes! Deep philosophical conversations about life and career!

With the Jackson case over, Kim Kardashian getting divorced, and the McCourts reaching a settlement, the mainstream media needs something sexy and sensational to jin up their “sweeps month” audience.  The Herman Cain story has fizzled. The Coach Sandusky saga is not enough to hold an audience.  (that one is kind of icky and really has no “hot babes” to display. )  No, this one has got it all. Aging movie stars. Unsolved Mysteries. After dinner drinks on a yacht on a cold, rainy night.

The dopey Boat Captain went on the Today Show this morning and insinuated that “R.J.” was the culprit.  Did you see this guy? He wasn’t what you would call “reassuring.”  He was wearing his U-boat commander cap, his responses were haulting. His memory was foggy.  At least he could’ve shaved for this National Book Promotion appearance.  And where was this idiot 30 years ago when these facts might’ve meant something?

Now what? The People are going after Robert Wagner, 30 years later? Highly friggin’ doubtful. First, the man is 81 years old, and second, THE MAN IS 81 YEARS OLD. It’s highly unlikely a case will ever be made against anyone in this matter.  (Note to self: where was O.J. that night?)

Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, on his way out the door after 36 years of service to the County is not going to file a messy, high profile case like this on his way out the door.  I mean, shit, Mel Gibson’s girl friend had pictures and voice mails and Cooley filed nothing.

No matter what happens here, we will probably never really know what happened on that cold, rainy night. But that won’t stop the media from running with this sensational unsolved mystery for a while. It's sweeps month. Seem like we've been here before, forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.

So true, so true.

Maybe Baca is using this as a diversion from the Jail stories?

On the news last night, they said Cooley wasn't going to do anything. They said he's checked.

Glad to see the mainstream media is following your lead.

More like "Day of the Locusts"

The Sheriff's Dept is already playing down this story. They've probably figured out that it ain't going anywhere.

Cooley said he'd indict his own mom if he found out she committed a crime. If the evidence points to Bob Waggoner, you can bet they'll file on him.
