Poor, Poor Paris

Just read in the news online that Paris has been sent back to the bighouse kicking, screaming and crying. Apparently the judge was a little peeved at the turn of events in that he gave her the whole 45 days instead of the 22 or 23 she initially got.

One blogger I read said that there should be a moratoriam on mentioning the names of Paris Hilton and Osama Bin Laden by any media venue for a whole year..... unless they got married to each other and then all bets were off.

Mary Winkler, on the other hand, looks as if she may spend less time in jail than Paris. The judge gave her 3 years with 210 days to be served and the remainer on probation. Plus she gets to count the 5 months she has already been locked up. If she goes to a mental facility, my understanding is that she can spend up to 60 days there ..... bingo! you are down to "0". Ain't justice grand?

Now here would be a perfect time to bring up O. J. Simpson and his brush with the justice system. He hacks two people to death and walks away a free man. Go figure.

Here's what it boils down to ..... you can brutally murder two people and get off scott free or you can shoot your no good husband in the back and get 210 days or you can violate your parole on a traffic violation and get 45 days. Seems as though we need to get a little consistency in the matter of jurisprudence in this country. Be that as it may, we still live in the greatest country on earth, and we can live with some quirky justice as long as we are not standing in front of the bench listening to the bailiff say, "Here come de judge."
