So long, Paris

For years we've been paralyzed in the tractor beam of her brainless celebrity. Now it's time to kiss the creepy dollie goodbye.

    Never Had The Habit

    Paris Hilton is one bad habit I have never had. I just don't care about what she is doing. The best way to dampen a celebrity worshipping culture is to well, not participate. I won't lie if I am stuck in a long supermarket line I flip through the pictures but I am not going to pay to read about those people. Come on, like most Americans I have a job and a life and while it does not involve clubbing or island hopping I kinda like it.
