Paris Hilton says her 45 day jail sentence is unfair and “I don’t deserve this.” It seems a bit much for driving with a suspended license, but she deserves something. Maybe they could just put a chastity bracelet on her goods.Paris’ mom is pretty pissed about the whole deal. She told the prosecutor “this is [...]
Something to watch
It’s a unique animation/narration of a soldier’s experience in Iraq. Only four minutes. Worth watching. The War In Iraq: A Soldiers Perspective – Brought to you by Break.com Video Search
