End of WEEK Roundup

Hey folks,

Since I haven’t been able to be here due to technical difficulties. I have to comment on a few things in the news in abbreviate form. First up, Paris Hilton.

Now as we all know, she thumbed her nose at the law. She is out of control and going down the same road as Anna Nicole Smith. I was truly happy to see that she got jail time. Unfortunately, Sheriff Lee Baca decided to show her favoritism and send her home. By the way, she is STILL being shown favoritism, more on that in a second.

The Judge ordered her back to jail, rightfully so, and the Sheriff SHOULD be fired. He trys to defend this idiotic decision but he really can’t. According to LA Times -Tug-of-war over Hilton raises larger questions By Tami Abdollah and Megan Garvey, Times Staff WritersJune 9, 2007


He cited an undisclosed medical condition as the reason to allow the hotel heiress to switch from a tiny cell to home detention and electronic monitoring, noting that she had served the 10% of her sentence currently being served by most female inmates in the county.

10 percent? Oooooh.

But Friday, an irritated Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered Hilton back to court and said he alone had the power to decide how her sentence was served. Sauer criticized the Sheriff's Department for letting Hilton out without his permission and remanded the 26-year-old multimillionaire — who cried throughout the hearing — back to jail.


As she was led out a side door by deputies, Hilton twisted back toward her parents. "Mom, Mom!" she cried. "It's not right!"

Poor spoiled brat. This may actually SAVE your life. Well, it may have if it would actually happen.


"For decades, where [inmates] were housed and how they were housed was up to the Sheriff's Department," said Stan Goldman, a professor of criminal law and procedure at Loyola Law School. "Now that all may change, thanks to, of all people, Paris Hilton."

It should. The Sheriff also needs to be charged with contempt of court.

Baca defended his decision to let Hilton leave jail and said he was concerned about how Sauer's order — if copied by other judges — would affect the jail system.

"This has the strong potential to set up what will become an untenable precedent because of overcrowding in jail and the lack of adequate housing," Baca said in an interview.

Get this.

A Times investigation found that many of those released early since 2002 had felony convictions and a history of violence and gang activity. Sixteen men released early were later charged with committing murders when they should have still been behind bars, and at least seven have been convicted in those slayings.

Now do not get me wrong. Paris is not a murder. YET. Continuously drinking and drugging along with driving? May become one in the future. Anyway, he cannot defend this. He showed, and continues to do so, her favoritism. What do I mean continues to? According to the AP- Paris Hilton vows to serve jail sentence By ALEX VEIGA, Associated Press Writer

Paris Hilton said Saturday she was "learning and growing" from her time behind bars and will not appeal her 45-day jail sentence for a probation violation in a reckless driving case.

The hotel heiress was at a maximum-security detention center, where she was believed to have undergone medical and psychiatric evaluations to determine the best jail to keep her in.

"Being in jail is by far the hardest thing I have ever done," Hilton said in a statement released by her lawyer, Richard A. Hutton. "During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to think and I believe that I am learning and growing from this experience."

SO why the sudden change? One, she was home for a bit. Able to "curb" the withdraw the started going through after her three day jail stint. We’ll see if a few more days changes anything. But then you have the fact she is NOT in jail.

Although Whitmore wouldn't discuss Hilton's condition, citing privacy laws, Baca indicated at a news conference Friday that it was psychological.

{Laughing} We KNOW she is nuts. But great way to hind the fact of favoritism.

When she went to Twin Towers, Baca said he was placing Hilton in a "better facility for her condition, meaning one that has a more intense form of medical support." He said she'd be kept under close watch to ensure "that there isn't anything harmful done to herself by herself, which is a great concern to me."

Whitmore said she'll be there at least through Sunday.

Twin Towers is equipped to treat acute medical and mental health needs, although inmates in need of more serious attention are moved to a hospital. About 40 inmates are housed per floor, and most of the rooms are designed for one patient at a time.

Hilton is truly living the simple life, in a room Whitmore described as a little more than 100 square feet, with a toilet, sink and "a sliver of a window."

Better than a 12 by 12 cell. What do you think would happen to you if YOU did this. Get caught DWI. Then,

In the months that followed, she was stopped twice by officers who discovered her driving with a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom, where he sentenced her to jail.

I bet you would NEVER have been given this treatment. Now she is in a hospital. {Sigh} Life is hard.

Next up, immigration. You DID IT! According to The Contra Costa times -After setback, immigration bill on its last legs in Senate By Dave Montgomery MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU Contra Costa Times

Article Launched:06/09/2007 11:39:05 AM PDT WASHINGTON -- With a White House-backed immigration bill on life support in the Senate, the likelihood that Congress can overhaul the nation's tattered immigration system before the onset of the 2008 presidential election year is growing increasingly remote.

The White House, Senate leaders and the bill's supporters insist that the measure can be resuscitated. But thus far they've been unable to bridge a maelstrom of colliding special interests, and the challenges will only intensify as election-year politics complicate their efforts.

"There's a faint pulse there, but it suffered a heavy blow on Thursday," said Daniel Griswold of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank that embraced Bush's call for a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration laws. "It would be a major surprise at this point if it came back to life."

The 627-page bill was pulled from the Senate floor late Thursday after Democratic and Republican leaders failed to resolve a standoff regarding GOP demands to submit additional amendments. The bill's collapse dealt a withering setback to President Bush, who had made a comprehensive restructuring of the nation's immigration laws his top domestic priority.

Good, it needed to be stopped. As for 627 pages? Where did the rest of it go? Anyway, this is a good thing. This was brought to event by YOU. This should tell you something folks. You can do it. You DO matter. Keep this in mind as the 08 elections grow near. YOU have the power to keep America the way you know it to be, or give it up to the LWL and change it into a Socialist country. You have the power.

Like I just pointed out. This is not a hard problem to solve. It is just this easy. Instead of even this new number of 627 pages, how about just 6 things.

1- Secure the boarder first. Both physical and high tech fences.

2- Smart cards. An ID card that using DNA, so that they cannot be faked.

3- Give them a chance to become registered. If they fail to do so, when we catch them, they are gone.

4- Commit a crime after you arrived here? You are GONE.

5- Evaluate all new REGISTERED immigrate case by case. If there is health issues, or criminal histories. Gone.

6- HUGH fines for business owners for hiring those without the ID. Possible Jail time for the Executives.


Up next? Global Warming. I’ll be right back.
