Navy carrier that burried Bin Laden will host college basketball game

The US Navy ship that casted Osama Bin Laden’s body into the Arabian Sea will now host a college basketball game against two school power houses… if that’s not American I don’t know what is! The USS Carl Vinson will host the standoff between the University of North Carolina and Michigan State. 7,000 lucky fans, mostly military personnel and their families, will watch the two school power houses square off. The carrier ship will be docked off San Diego and will be hosted 11/11/2011.

Despite the Carl Vinson’s famous track record, the ship was chosen because it will be in US waters but is expected to return to sea by the year’s end. The event is called the Carrier Classic, which the NCAA hopes to make an annual event. #AMERICA

Oprah wants OJ’s confession

Despite her long list of accomplishments, Oprah revealed it is her proffessional dream to get OJ Simpson to confess to the murder of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

What was deemed The Trial of the Century, Simpson left the nation stunned when he was found not guilty on two counts of murder… but if it is up to Oprah she will get his confession!

“I have a dream of O.J. Simpson confessing to me,” Winfrey said. “And I am going to make that happen, people. I don’t just want the interview. I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson.”

Oprah dropped the bombshell at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association convention in Chicago, but will have to go to Nevada to get the interview, since Simpson is serving 33 years behind bars for armed robbery and kidnapping over sports memorabilia. Earlier this year, Oprah wanted to interview other troubled NFL player Michael Vick. Despite booking the interview, Vick pulled out the morning of taping.
