When you write a blog you sometimes wonder if anyone is reading your masterpieces of intellectual discourse. The urge to throw in something off-the-wall is tempting. I wonder if anyone will notice?
So… Who’s to blame for the unfortunate lock-up of America’s starlet, Lindsay Lohan? Restrained in that tiny little cell, surrounded by felons and criminals, the distraught woman is “doing the best she can” according to her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley. OMG! She may need to spend 13 or 14 days in that horrible place where she needs to pay $1.33 for her own bag of pork cracklins.
This is a travesty of the American justice system. How could a celebrity of Ms. Lohan’s stature be forced to spend two weeks in the slammer for something so innocent as, like, you-know, driving under the influence, violating her parole conditions, and failing to show up promptly for her court appearance? If the Supreme Court wasn’t weighted in favor of old conservative guys, maybe they would agree to hear an appeal. And what about the President? Couldn’t he issue a pardon? Presidents always do that at the end of their terms, why not now?
At least she’s arranged a 7-figure contract for a television interview upon her release, and will share all the dreadful stories of her incarceration. At least that’s some consolation. (It will help pay for those port cracklins.) And I’m sure a book deal and movie rights will follow. We’re all to blame when someone as precious as Lindsay is treated like a common criminal.
