A Is For ARROGANCE

This just steams me. Paris Hilton---the poster girl for Rich, Pampered, Shallow (Useless?)---recently received an appropriate and well-deserved 45-day jail sentence for violating her probation in a reckless-driving case. She clearly thought that because she was PARIS HILTON she would never actually have to follow the rules or get into any trouble if she didn't. A judge saw things differently. And so now panic sets in! You mean I have a consequence for completely and utterly ignoring the law?? You mean I'll have to pay for what I did like some, well, like some commoner????

But get this: Now she's appealing to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her. I beg your pardon. Are you kidding me? An online petition from her fans "decries the prospect that such a singular visionary as Paris, who provides beauty and excitement to most of our mundane lives should be caged like a beast." ???? Oh please! And better yet, this: "she provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world because of her position as an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune." What?? It's never explained how her inherited wealth could possibly in any way benefit those millions of us common folk who live such mundane lives.

And "she provides hope for young people" ??? That makes me want to puke. She's a neon example of what is going to wreck the youth of this generation---the ME ME ME attitude and mindset and lifestyle. A recent video was released showing her flinging racial slurs, calling people names, being condescending, etc....This is providing hope to young people all over the world? She's a nightmare.

I have to believe that the governor of our fine state has more important things to do than to spend FIVE MINUTES considering this ludicrous petition. If she gets a pardon from Schwarzenegger it will be a blatant abuse of his power and make a mockery (yet again) of the legal system. Just say NO, Arnold. You can do it.
