I never wanted Paris Hilton to be relevant, in any way. Celebrity comes from many avenues, mostly when someone has talent in the arts, and effective promotion.  Then there's also celebrities through politics, reality shows, and (gasp!) heroism. But Paris has none of that. She's just got money and handlers. But now, sadly, she's become relevant.

Paris was to spend 40 plus days in Jail. Not from a DUI, but for violating her probation two times. The DUI just got the ball rolling. Then she had the sentence cut down to 23 days. Now she's at her Mansion (at least tonight).

Why do I care? I don't care about Paris. I care about how government works, and the importance of the justice arm in this separation of powers. At her sentencing, the judge was specific. Hard time (for her). No work release programs, and other provisions. The stickler: No Ankle Bracelet! So tonight's she's at her home, maybe having friends over. Why? Because the sheriff supposedly has jurisdiction over who he releases from the jail. But, uhmm, the judge said no ankle bracelets. There's particulars here, like who has jurisdiction, and what might supersede what.

That's why Paris is relevant. And I'm so sorry! :)
