One Last Post For The Day

I've been on a posting frenzy today! I've got one last opine to spew before getting off my soap box for the day.

I'm sick of people comparing apples to orangutans with the Paris Hilton/Michelle Delgadillo issue. Their case is "Paris Hilton isn't in jail for DUI. Paris Hilton was put in jail for 45 days for driving with a suspended license when the D.A.'s wife was caught driving with a suspended license she was only fined $186. That's not fair!"

First off, Paris Hilton isn't in jail for driving with a suspended license. Paris Hilton is in jail for violating her probation which stemmed from a DUI that she got a break from. Instead of getting a DUI and having to serve 48 hours in jail, she got off with Alcohol Related Reckless Driving. She was fined $1,500, had to attend alcohol education classes, plus the suspended license. On top of that she's in jail for is not attending the alcohol class she was assigned to.

Apples - D.A.'s wife getting a fine for driving with a suspended license
Orangutans - Paris Hilton is in jail for 1) Violating probation and 2) Not attending her mandatory alcohol education class.

THERE IS NO COMPARISON!
