What A Message To Send!

So Nicole Richie spends 82 minutes in jail and she's done. The sentence is served.

And Lohan gets 24 hours in jail, of which I doubt she'll serve much more than Richie if any time at all, escapes felony charges and now her mother is making excuses about how it's an attack on her daughter as if Lindsay didn't take the wheel of an automobile while chemically altered.

Look people let's break this down. Drunk driving or driving while under the influence of drugs or both is serious business and these sentences they hand down do NOT stress the severity of the crime. These young "starlets" are getting behind the wheel snockered out of their gourds and could have easily killed someone! It's serious business!

And Lohan's mother, and Paris' mother before her, are not doing their daughter any favors. It's time to stop making excuses for your child and start owning up to the fact that your child has a serious problem, a problem in which you aren't helping by making excuses for her and making her think it's ok. Breaking the law is breaking the law. It's not ok to make excuses and then do whatever you want. It's time to teach responsibility, not excuse making, but then again she's likely too busy partying herself. True, Lohan is an adult now, but you still look to your parents for guidance.

It's overall a very sad commentary on our society.
