What happened to herstory?

. . . it got burned up.

"You telling the truth, great Gram?"

She slapped me.

"When I'm telling you something don't you ever ask if I'm lying. Because they didn't want to leave no evidence of what they done--so it couldn't be held against them. And I'm leaving evidence. And you got to leave evidence too. And your children got to leave evidence. And when it come time to hold up the evidence, we got to have evidence to hold up. That's why they burned all the papers, so there wouldn't be no evidence to hold up against them."

Paris Hilton Released From Jail

Pure bullshit!

Paris Hilton was released from a Los Angeles County jail early Thursday because of an unspecified medical problem and will fulfill the remainder of her sentence in home confinement, a sheriff's spokesman said. More of the story.

They finally figured out a way to get her out of serving time in jail. So what about the other countless young men and women serving time in jail for similar crimes -- who went to jail weeping, crying, begging and wailing: "I ain't gonna do it no mo'!" while hoping and praying for house arrest - maybe they can play sick too. Here's a hint (though it probably won't work for certain people): look demure, pitiful, and frail and color your hair blond.
