It's not often that I am completely impressed by someone I don't know, but Jeff Ruby has definitely won my respect. In case you haven't heard the story, he is the owner of a restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, who refused to serve O.J. Simpson during the Kentucky Derby. (Here's a link to the full story: http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/owner-boots-oj-simpson-from-restaurant/20070509092009990001?cid=2359)
It makes me feel good to know that somewhere in our crazy, bassackwards world, there is still justice...well, sometimes. Karma is really starting to kick O.J.'s ass, and I couldn't be happier about it. He didn't get to publish/profit from his ridiculous book about how he "would" have murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, and now some brave man stood up and said "No! You will not be treated like a celebrity in my place of business." So kudos to you, Jeff Ruby. It's refreshing to see someone ACT on their values.
But, P.S....watch your back. As O.J.'s idiot lawyer, Yale Galanter, so eloquently put it ""He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did." Apparently, O.J. isn't above threatening people. Shocker.

I'm with you on this! As a business owner you have the right to refuse service to anyone! Good for him!
Ever see the movie "Planes, Trains And Automobiles?" Scene where Steve Martin's character gets stranded at an airport remote rental-car lot, walks back through snow, across runways, totally enraged. The music goes, "You're messin' with the WRONG GUY!"
OJ Simpson is a laughable caricature of himself, and remarks like his attorney's just seem stupid.
That's just awesome. Pure and simple.
Oh and isn't it lovely that OJ's lawyers are still blaming race...sheesh.
Excellent! There is hope in this world after all.
