Paris Gets Free DUI Pass. Bitch.

I know a number of people that have received DUIs. It is not hard to do. Since states were blackmailed by the federal government to drop the "intoxicated" threshold to 0.08% blood alcohol level many people have crossed the line. Any of my finest alchy friends are not even affected until they are twice that level. I'm not condoning drunk driving, but I do retain a strict distain for zero tolerance and one-size-fits-all law, especially when people are so ranging and penalties are so strict. That's a subject for another day.

Still, one can have three beers in an hour and run to the store, get pulled over for a bad tail light and the next thing they know they have to endure tremendous fines (like 10% of the annual income), lawyer fees, license suspension, skyrocketing insurance and a conviction on their record. Some two-timers had to go to AA meetings, couseling, dry-outs, and even face prison time. Licenses are permanently revoked without even allowing driving to work.

Then the god-damn useless waste of air Paris Hilton gets pulled over, intoxicated over the legal limit. Yesterday she had her day in court. Her charge was reduced to "wreckless driving" she received 36 months probation. Where is the equity? Joe Six Pack gets pulled over after three Bud Lites and he's fucked for life.

Go ahead, tell me the law works. When the same rules and penalties don't apply to everyone the system is broken. Sure, she had the best attorney her grandfather's money could buy, but shouldn't there be some equity?

... with liberty and justice for those that can afford it.

That piece of shit is famous for being a socialite. She brings nothing to the table and is a disgrace. Now she gets a free pass when the rest of us would be sitting in the county lockup.

Yes, Paris, Mel, and Lindsey, along with all the congressmen and senators, sports stars and celebrities all get the free pass. Ironically they are the ones that can afford the fine and increased insurance rates. You and me, we're just the pee-ons that get caught and taxed to death to pay for the courtroom and judge to grant them a pass.

Rolling Over 40

I never cared much about the aging process. In fact, I denounce our obsession with youth. Nothing is more annoying than youth. I appreciate the wise crustiness time brings, and enjoy the philosophical and emotional armor I've accumulated.

Today however, I see how lame I've become.

I thought we'd do something different - so we went and got ice cream. (lame)

But I'm lactose intolerant, my intestines a volcano if I stand downwind from milk. (old guy)

But I found some Lactaid in the medicine cabinet. (only an old creep would have such things)

Unfortunately it had expired in 2003. (only old people keep expired medicine)

I took it anyway, knowing I may suffer from searing abdominal cramps after eating ice cream and taking expired lactaid. (Livin' la vida loca)
