Would you drive across this bridge ?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not real fond of heights and the thought of driving over this bridge makes me feel a little woozy.

The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 787 feet high and the overall height will be an impressive 1102 feet, making this the highest bridge in the world. I must say it is a nice view! 787 feet high!

FREE Paris Hilton!

Okay I'll join the throngs, the hoards, the legions of those with an opinion of Paris Hilton's latest get out of jail free card.

I don't give a shit! That's it, I really don't. Hundreds of real criminals are released from jail and prison everyday. I'm talking about child molesters, rapists and murderers. Not bad drivers with hair extensions. And if any of this crap surprises you than let me be the first to welcome you to planet Earth.

So she was driving without a license, so why put her in jail? I mean if we'ew going to punish her let's have some real fun with it. Let's sentence her to a year of wearing cloths from WalMart. The real frumpy kind of house dresses with Ked's sneakers nd bad slippers. And no more fancy restaurants either, her only dining choices should be IHOP, KFC and Cracker Barrel. Instead of the usual clubs and bars she enjoys she's now only allowed to attend mud bog racing, bass fishing tournaments and cockroach races.

Now that's the only way to punish someone like Paris Hilton, but then again I'm sure her attorney would claim it to be cruel and unusual. He would be right of course, because that's what makes it so funny.



But what I would really like to see the media police itself and say "wait a minute, in the grand scheme of things shouldn't we be worried about the real criminals and not a dumb blonde with a bad movie resume?"

The Profit Calculator!

I love it when Parade Magazine comes out with their special issue each year about what people earn in America, You've seen it before I'm sure. Usually at the bottom of the workplace pile are the teachers and police officers. I mean why should they make any money they're only responsible for the education and safety of the future leaders of the free world.

Then of course you have Paris Hilton and the likes who have made absolutely no contribution to society (except bad TV) but make millions doing... well what the hell does she do anyway?

The New Yorker Magazine did a great story on what people make. Not the usual jobs either but some rather unusual ones. Take a look at the full story. Click Here
