It was 20 years ago today that the most famous car chase in American history captivated our attention.

On June 17, 1994, the nation watched as the L.A.P.D. chased a white Ford Bronco along the Los Angeles freeways at a show-stopping 35 miles per hour. Of course, the driver of that Bronco was one Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson, a Hall of Fame football player suspected in the grisly murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

"The Chase" was a ratings bonanza, with an estimated 95 millions Americans glued to their televisions that Friday evening. How could another former football player with his own checkered history not want to get in on that kind of free publicity?

CaptainHeq dropped by the Boosterrific Forum last week to confirm something that Booster Gold fans already knew: Booster Gold is the best!

Booster beat Doctor Who in the championship bracket of the radiobastard.com podcast Time Challenge tournament of time travelers. Says CaptainHeq:

Booster won by just a handful of votes, so I think you here can take credit for that.

Don't think we won't! Booster Gold fans are the best fans!

No matter what you think about how your father raised you, you can at least be comforted by the fact that you didn't travel back in time to teach him everything he knew about parenting. That would be weird.

This past weekend, blogger Elyse of Cuddly As A Cactus explained why Booster Gold is her favorite super hero. (The girl's got good taste.) She has several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that our hero has that rarest of assets in modern comics: a sense of humor.

You may think it's a recent fad, but the trend towards the grim and gritty and serious within comics is nothing new. In an era of over-manliness (lookin' at you, late 80's and early 90's), Booster was different! It's a character that dared to kinda silly. He's always getting himself in trouble and getting into shenanigans. That's the kind of stuff that I'm interested in!

I'm sure she's not the only one who feels that way. You can read her other reasons (and spot check her recommended reading list) at cuddlyasacactus.wordpress.com.
