Paris Hilton

This post on Paris Hilton, and this earlier one is one of the reasons I decided to start getting all my news from Skippystalin. If you read it, you'll start going there first for your news too. Actually, you should read them in order: first, second

Money Quotes (from the first post):

"Anyone can run into a burning building and rescue its inhabitants, but very few of us could repeatedly undermine our own dignity in public on a daily basis. No, very few of us have the Right Stuff for that."

"Despite her given name, Paris would almost certainly be shunned in Europe. Self-degradation by private citizens is discouraged there. After all, this is what the Great Nations of Europe have Royal Families for. "

Money quote from the second:

"If you're unfamiliar with Ms. Hilton's recent legal woes, here's the abridged version. Like most Americans, Paris likes to get really fucked up on various pills, powders and amber liquids and go for a drive. Like most things that are reckless, stupid and wrong, this phenomenon was seemingly invented in California and popularized by its celebrity landed gentry."

That second one is a serious classic. You must read the whole thing!
