"After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over." ~Alfred Edward Perlman, New York Times, 3 July 1958

also:

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."
~Thomas Jefferson, letter to Connecticut Baptists


Coffee, check. Felines fed, check. Batteries recharged, check.

Hard push on a number of fronts continues. You'll see me when you see me.

I usually don't indulge in schadenfraude -- it's just not a good taste to me. However...

the fact that Paris Hilton -- who was convicted of reckless endangerment and refusing to adhere to the terms of her probation, up to and including driving recklessly again on a suspended license -- was ordered back to serve her full OMG TEH TRAUMA! 45 days in jail* in her own private cell rather than serving house arrest in her frickin' mansion because she GOT A RASH?

Makes me happy.

And the fact that she had to be taken out of the courtroom screaming "it's not right!" --Baby, baby. Deal with it. If you had killed someone with your reckless driving, would you have been as upset? I somehow suspect not.

Stupid spoiled bitch. Time to grow up. As life lessons go, you're getting off obscenely easy. And the rest of us, who have to earn our way through life rather than drink and fornicate our way through on the family billions, make a rude gesture in your general direction, and then go back on with our jobs.

*mind you, she'll probably end up serving a grand total of two weeks....
