'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Was I the only one surprised by the revelation that Paris Hilton actually drives herself anywhere ever?

signed, still thinks OJ should have up for the death penalty

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I dunno. They (the sheriff) allowed her to go home - can't really blame her for accepting it.

Yeah, I'm sure her people had nothing to do with that.

Punishingly Intricate

My severely schizophrenic brother had to spend TWO WHOLE YEARS in PRISON (not county jail) for repeat DUI's and driving while suspended.

Cashmere, I was thinking of your brother yesterday when the news broke about her getting released because of her "medical" condition. And thinking about all the people in prison who can't get treatment for their actual life-threatening illnesses. rage-inducing.

They (the sheriff) allowed her to go home - can't really blame her for accepting it.

Yeah, would you really expect her to say 'no'? She may be a whiny moron but, yeah, it's the sheriff's office that is the big fuck ups in this situation.

Wouldn't it be great to have somebody drive you around at any time, where ever you wanted to go? It's a dream for me. No more driving around town, worrying about traffic. I could just sit in the back and read or nap or anything... ahhhhhh

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My co-worker and I were just down in the deli/vending machine area of our building, which has a TV in it that's always on. FOX News was on, and their "Breaking News Alert" (yes, they used the word "alert") was P. Hil's return to jail.

They had it as a split-screen, with one half being a helicopter view of traffic (I assume following the P. Hil convoy), and the other half being Neil Cavuto's show -- with Ann Coulter commenting on how wrong it was that P. Hil had to go to jail.

Ann Coulter was wearing a cross, which surprised me, because I thought such things would make her burst into flame.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe she likes driving.

Of course, once her license was suspended, that's a stupid reason to keep on driving herself. I mean, it's at least understandable (if still wrong) if a person needs to drive to work and their license is suspended....

I don't really like being driven (signed, Control Freak) also I am more likely to get car sick when I'm not the driver.

Having a driver on call when I want one would be pretty sweet though.

Um... why??? Does she have some "conservative" reason why PH should not be punished?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like, for when you're drunk and/or have a suspended license?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I dunno. They (the sheriff) allowed her to go home - can't really blame her for accepting it.

Whinging and complaining, crying into the night and refusing to eat are completely within her rights. And while I'm certain political pressure was brought down on Baca by her parents and people, he should have been man enough to withstand it. Or at least wait a bloody week and gone through proper channels. Still, I don't actually believe she's earned further punishment, just the original sentence.
