I hear that train a coming.

But, sebby, I think that your analysis of whether you or I would get the same sentence as Paris did for doing what she did is really off -- perhaps not for the Keystone State, but definitely for around here. Thanks to the efforts of MADD, she would have done at least 30 days for the initial DUI around my neck of the woods, and driving on a DUI suspended licence is another stint of time, pretty much guarranteed.
As an aside, I feel bad for her. Granted, I think that she needs to be accountable, and I have no issue with her getting 45 days for what she did. But it just seems like the very people in the tabloid media who made her what she is are taking an unseemly delight in seeing her suffer, and it just strikes me as more than a little bit cruel.

As opposed to a seemly delight in seeing suffering?
Sorry, didn't mean to bring things back to A-Rod.
