In addition, my brother lost his license for life. So I think having a driver would be pretty sweet. Of course, he broke the law multiple times and those are his consequences but the family has had to schlep him around for years now and it sucks.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
More on the "they sent her home because she was ill" thing:
Assistant City Atty. Dan Jefferies said the reason given for Hilton's release made the case unusual and raised questions about special treatment. He said that releasing inmates because of overcrowding was common but that in his 25 years as a prosecutor, he could remember only two or three instances in which people were let go early for medical reasons. In each case, he said, the individual was extremely ill.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wouldn't it be great to have somebody drive you around at any time, where ever you wanted to go?
Not if I could afford a car like she can. They'd have to keep chucking me in jail for speeding tickets.

FOX News was on, and their "Breaking News Alert" (yes, they used the word "alert") was P. Hil's return to jail.
I'll bet the administration is thrilled. Takes the heat off the news that they are replacing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. You know, the guy that's been it for 6 years?

Um... why??? Does she have some "conservative" reason why PH should not be punished?
Yeah, I'm a bit mystified about that too.
I don't get why she wouldn't get a driver either. I guess she didn't think anything would really happen to her.

Especially in some place like Los Angeles, where you could let somebody else worry about the traffic jam?
Exactly!!! Man, traffic here is horrible on a daily basis, I would love to be driven around instead of having some idiot cut me off on the 405. I could be reading instead!

To clarify, I totally get why she wouldn't get a driver until her license got suspended. After that, well, whatever.

Or, in her case, drinking and doing lines of coke! It's win-win!

That's why Pace's "retirement" was thrown out with the Friday trash.
