I'm so disappointed in news media for expending so many resources on covering this Paris Hilton Goes To Jail story while ignoring so many more important stories and firing, laying off or buying out serious journalists because they have limited resources!!!
I'm also outraged that any media company worth its weight in ethics would consider paying Ms. Hilton $1 million for an interview about her time behind bars. Think of how far that kind of money could go towards the rehabilitation of others who have done serious time without the benefit of private doctors or Barbara Walters as a mouthpiece.

How good to have you back at the keyboard! Yeah, the Paris Hilton thing is just nauseating. In the meantime, a year-old story has been circulating on a listserv I'm on about four African-American lesbians from Newark being sentenced to prison terms ranging between three and 11 years for -- in their telling -- defending themselves against a physical attack by a man who took issue with their gayness. Hard to know who's telling the truth, but a far more worthy look at the justice system than Paris's jailhouse rehab.
