First Post: Paris Hilton

As is only proper being an upstanding American citizen, I feel my first post must be about Paris Hilton. That whore.

All arguments as to whether Paris is a bad person or not aside, I am surprised not so much by the amount of press Paris's imprisonment is heralding, but by how much universal spite and gall there seems to be for the woman. Good lord the nurses were up in arms when they heard of her release a few days ago. I think a good ol' fashioned lynching would have taken place had Paris been in Southern Texas as opposed to Southern California. In as much as I'm inclined to not like her, I have to admit I don't know her, and, more importantly, I can't seem to find a good reason why we should even care. Have we not enough faith in our justice system to perform appropriately and make the right decisions? Have we not enough sympathy to realize that what is likely a shallow woman with likely an even more empty, frivolous life is also dealing with what is speculated to be a serious drug addiction or a psychotic break? Have we not better things to do with our time? I don't know, perhaps all this hateful hubbub is making our country stronger, our children smarter, and our crops grow faster. Personally, I'd rather waste my time with World of Warcraft or watching squirrels loot our bird feeder -- ha, ha, those crazy squirrels.

Anyways, this temporary aside aside, future posts will hopefully be more autobiographical or at the very least amusing. If not, well, we had a good run.

And as for Paris, perhaps some dissociative fugue is in order...
