Paris Hilton jailed for 45 days...Martha Stewart offers tips on how to survive The Big House.

Well, well, well, Paris Hilton got sentenced today in L.A. to 45 days in prison for driving with a suspended license. On the stand, she claimed she did not realize that her licence was suspended!! Yeah, sure..I believe her. After all, what with all the legal jargon they threw at her during her sentencing for DUI, I would be confused myself!!! I mean, really. What does " you have been found guilty of DUI and your licence has been suspended " mean? If there are any lawyers out there, please explain it to me.

The darling of the Jet-Set is supposed to report to a women's jail in suburban Lynwood on June 5th or face additional time for failing to appear. I'm taking bets now on that one!!

How is this going to affect her? NOT AT ALL! The only good that will come from this is all in her favor. A book about her hard time, numerous appearances on Larry King and the like, and I'm sure at least one made-for-tv movie. Don't get me wrong, I am very much in favor of actually penalizing those who flaunt the law, especially high profile people, but what I am not in favor of is just how much positive feedback she will get from all this. What with the support of her legions of fans, the press, and the outpouring of sympathy from other high profile celebrities, this is hardly a learning experience at all for her. If this were you or I who was in her shoes, our lives would be devastated. We would probably lose our jobs, some friends, create havoc in our relationships, and leave us with an embarrassing mess that would take years to climb up from. But not Paris. You can bet your ASS that she will be the honored guest at several 'Got Out Of Jail ' parties which will keep her going until the spotlight dims on her again and she finds a new way to light up the public's imagination.

Good ol' Conrad Hilton must be spinning in his grave.

And I Quote

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- From a fashion standpoint, striped ties were the clear winner at Thursday's Republican presidential debate. Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Arkansas Sen. John McCain, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and even the debate moderator all wore some form of striped tie.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and California Rep. Duncan Hunter chose to wear ties with dots. Sen. Sam Brownback stood alone with a solid yellow tie.

What they wore:

Brownback: Solid yellow tie
Gilmore: Red tie with blue stripes
Giuliani Red tie with thin dark stripes
Huckabee: Red tie with red stripes
Hunter: Red tie with dark polka dots
McCain: Red tie with red stripes
Paul: Light blue-gray tie with blue stripes
Romney: red tie with yellow dots
Tancredo: Gray tie with dark red stripes
Thompson: Blue tie with darker blue stripes

Who needs the issues? Who HAS issues?

Fashion! turn to the left
Fashion! right
Fashion!

Frustrated Flash memory

2007-05-02T22:24:00.000-06:00

I've been scanning the net looking for a 8GB or larger flash drive and I have to say " MY GOD...how many companies make these things????? " Is one better than another? It seems every review site I go to says the opposite of the LAST review site I went to. Are they're no more truly independent review sites left?
