It Appears that Paris Hilton is a Pothead. Now Will You Think Better of Her??
For the second time in a month, suspicion of cannibis possession has caused Miss Hilton to be detained abroad. Unlike last month in South Africa (ahem, unless the substance and the attendant culpability were quickly and conveniently shifted away from the dilettante ... er, debutante as the South African gendarmerie approached), however, this incident turned up the real thing.
Paris Hilton was briefly detained in Corsica after sniffer dogs detected a "quite small" quantity of marijuana in her bag, a French newspaper reported Saturday.Corse Matin newspaper said officers at the airport in Figari found about one gram's worth of marijuana. Hilton, who was transiting the French Mediterranean island in a private jet on Friday, was hauled in for questioning and released about 30 minutes later, the report said.
Setting aside the admittedly prejudicial revelation in the AP article that Miss Hilton posts on a website called "TwitLonger", doesn't knowledge of the young lady's relaxed, non-haute couture (alleged) hobby humanize her?
It just tells me how stupid she really is. She's a part of a billionaire family yet gets busted while carrying $10 contraband? What's next, stealing soap from the chambermaids' carts in the hallway?

Too clever by half.

Too clever by half was brought to a high art by Rachel Maddow.

You may be right. You may be wrong. I might even agree with you, but trowing in Maddow's name is a non-sequitor.

The last time I felt compelled to stay within content rules for writing was in 10th grade.
This naturally excludes investigative and arrest reports.
Anyhow,it's not such a non-sequitir because it is something I frequently say about Rachel Maddow
Paris Hilton is doing half a BILLION dollars worth of business this year.
If she wants charter a yacht or take a puff at a party, who is she hurting.
But it was the photographer in her entourage who lit up in S.Africa,paid a small fine and was let go.
And the pot story in Corsica never even happened, it originated from some blog in Sardinia.
