Heart-ache: Paris “teetering on the brink”; Update: Raw deal for Paris? Update: “Deteriorating, life-threatening”

Well, my Dad is a 36-year retired veteran of LASO, and my brother is 17 years in on his career with LASO.

Per my dad and my brother, and their friends/coworkers (some of whom I know as well), Sheriff Lee Baca is a “scientologist” who panders to the social elite and takes advantage of peoples gift giving willingness to the point that he had accepted more gifts in one year from donators than all 57 other California Sheriff’s combined, almost $50,000 worth of gifts. He is accused of under reproting his gifts and donations as well. They also referred to him as a “useless turd”. Nice. Makes one wonder what the morale is like on the LASO. It turns out that less than 10% of the Sheriff’s Department Deputies were for his reelection last election. The Sheriff’s Union opposed him as well. But he had a lot of campaign help from celebritys and other welthy high rollers, apparently.

I thought, well, maybe they’re bitter employees. So I did some checking. Guess what, they were actually being kind.

Lee Baca is well on his way to earning the title, ‘Most Crooked Sheriff In The State’.

1. In 2004, he took more gifts than California’s other 57 sheriffs combined.
2. put one of his closest friends on the payroll as a $105,000-a-year adviser.
3. accepted more than $42,000 in gifts since taking office, including some from those who do business with his department.
4. authorized favorable treatment for Mel Gibson after a sheriff’s spokesman initially said the arrest occurred “without incident” and made no mention of the superstar’s now-notorious anti-Semitic rant
5. withheld video and audio tapes of the Mel Gibson drunk driving arrest, asserting they were exempt from open-government laws.

…and much more.

Perhaps, Mean People Suck?

Stephen M at 7:13 – Thank you.
There’s too much schadenfreude going on here.

How do you figure all that?

Paris Hilton has spent her entire adult life acting up, acting out, and horribly acting (a thespian, she is not). She has garnered the headlines and the papparazzi’s camera lens’s for as long as I can remember during the entire 21st century. Whether she’s been leaking hardcore porn starring hers truly, partying hard in front of the camera’s, intentionally setting up papparazzi photo ops, breaking the law, getting caught, getting off light then gloating about it, having histrionic episodes whenever anyone publicly jokes about her or criticizes her… etc ad nauseum!

She’s been setting herself up for this her entire adult life. She has asked for everything she is now getting, and I can all but guarantee you once she’s out of the pokey, she’ll be back for seconds and thirds.

Heck, for all we know this entire episode may just be one big giant intentional set up. Maybe she is playing this to the hilt, making the best of it purely for self-gratification. I highly doubt she’s on her death bed, although, she might feel like it as she detoxes (which may also be part of the plan… brat packers in Malibu Rehabs is such old hat). I think as she sits in jail, privately and unobserved by the public/papparazzi, she’s just slathering herself in glee knowing the the entire MSM is going gaga over this, and her fans are feeling horribly sorry for her and writing her love letters by the bags full.

I bet she even deeply appreciates all the ‘Mean People that suck’. It’s just more attention.

No, it’s not schadenfreude, deriving pleasure from her suffering… all the world’s a stage for Paris and we are merely players. We’re just playing along to one degree or another. It’s simply a diversion with some comical value from the actual serious matters of news that we have been bombarded with for far too long.

However, the bleeding hearts can bleed all they want over poor Paris. It is my belief that, generally, those bleeding hearts live their lives vicariously through the glitzy, glamorous, and sexy lives of celebritys because their own lives are so darn mundane.

Personally, I have a great deal of respect for that Judge. Finally, someone with judicial stroke who wasn’t afraid to use it when dealing with a so-called celebrity. It is a rarity. Now I hope he uses that same stroke to slap the Sheriff upside the head. He should, the Sheriff’s had it coming for a long while.
