I Can't Explain it

I thought I knew you, what did I know? You don’t look different, but you have changed. I’m looking through you, you’re not the same.


Here is a non-sports post, that happens to involve an athlete. Sorry, but that is the best thing that I can do for you today.

I have been thinking a lot this weekend. It is weird for me to admit this, but I will nonetheless. I think that it is absolutely ridiculous that Paris Hilton is going to jail for 45 days.



For all of the celebrity happenings that occur (both lawfully and no so much), why is Paris taking the fall? Sure, I don't like her, and you probably don't either. I don't want her to sit in jail though.



Rich people do bad things sometimes. Their money usually gets them out of trouble. (I don't feel the need to cite examples). Why is Miss Hilton the scapegoat for all of that. Is one judge trying to make a name for himself, and ignoring what hundreds before him have done. Way to go. I will wait in anticipation to see whether Phil Spector gets off the hook now.

In other news, Ron Artest (who is less rich, less attractive, and quite a bit more sleazy and scary than Paris) is continuing his good luck with the courts.



He has managed to stay out of jail again. For his latest domestic assault against his wife, Artest received a kiss on the cheek, rather than a slap on the wrist. He got sentenced to a 10 day work program, a $600 fine, and was ordered to counseling. All this for hitting his wife and preventing her from calling 911 for help. Additionally, his restraining order that his wife had on him has been dropped and he can see his kids again. He must be an angel. He is also being investigated on animal cruelty charges. Again, such a selfless father figure and a saint.



I think that Paris Hilton should think of herself as a hero and savior to all of the rich bastards like Artest who constantly get off the hook for committing crimes. People like Artest are apparently still untouchable while she is does his and many many others' time.



Or, I am stupid and write stupid blogs. Goodnight.
