Some cartoon the other day (I think it might have been Bizarro) went sort of like this:

“What do you call a gathering of celebrities?”

“Rehab.”

I don’t pay too much attention to celebrities other than reading the daily gossip column in the local rag as I progress through the magazine section to the advice column, then to the highlight of my newspaper day (the comics) or to see what has recently been posted to alt.binaries.multimedia.nude.celebrities (I’m a newsgroup kind of guy).

But I did get seduced to follow the Huffington Post link to this:

Lindsay Lohan was arrested for drunk driving in Santa Monica early this morning — her second bust in less than three months.

According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept., 21-year-old Lohan was nailed around 2:15 AM near Pico Boulevard and Main Street early Tuesday morning.

And I had just one thought:

If she were some poor black or brown girl from the Southbridge or Riverside districts, she wouldn’t see the light of day for years.

Instead, she’s back on the streets.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
