Money talks, wealth walks

If you think that's not true, just read today's news about Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan.

Hilton allegedly got caught in Las Vegas with cocaine, and she had already pled guilty to reduced charges. Why do judges fall for such nonsense? (I'd call it something else, but I'm trying to be polite here.)

And Lohan? Early release from both jail and rehab, and the problem is back. Of course, it's back! A 3rd Grader could have told you she would continue using.

So a judge issues a warrant and then waits for her to show up in court. Well, it saves the time and money (and publicity) of a deputy's running out to serve the warrant and haul her in in handcuffs (again). Think she'll show?

Do all people get such "royal" treatment or only the well-known (and monied)?

A double standard? Only in California and Nevada? What about right here in little, ol' McHenry County???
