Prison should be primarily for minorities and the unattractive and there should be a different set of rules and standards for those who make an effort to be nicely-kempt and presentable.
Someone said to me, "What a country. We can't find Osama Bin Laden, but we're putting Paris Hilton in jail."
I pointed out that there are different agencies working on the two cases.
The traffic patrolmen in Hollywood who arrested Paris Hilton for driving under the influence aren't in charge of tracking down and capturing Osama Bin Laden, too.
It would simply be too much to ask. They have their hands full with Paris. Otherwise, it would have been a great thing to call them on. Regardless, I thought I'd try it on a meter maid in downtown Baltimore today:
"You people can't catch Osama Bin Laden but you fine a poor working stiff like me for parking in a handicapped space."
F.Y.I.: Meter maids carry billy clubs and they're not afraid to use them.
What a country. We can't find Osama Bin Laden but we can make poorly-thought-out analogies based on weak premises and strained metaphors.
That's hot.
