I'm a mean, mean person sometimes

There are times when I think sarcasm boils over to dangerously high levels in my life. This morning I caught a TV news headline that said something like, "Paris Hilton Could Serve Hard Time If Convicted of Cocaine Possession Charges." And my only response to seeing it was to say, "Really? Promise?"

I know, it's wrong to wish hard time on anybody — even annoying pseudo-celebs whose life prospects won't be harmed by a prison sentence. Actually, I think in the case of celebrity arrests, we need something more like the Cone of Silence on "Get Smart." Get convicted, get banished to complete obscurity until you've done your time. Anything to make the media shut up about you for a little while.
