disappointing news of the day

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hotel heiress Paris Hilton was let out of prison early on Thursday morning and will spend the rest of her sentence for violating probation confined to her home, the Los Angeles sheriff said.
She was fitted with an electronic monitoring device on her ankle and sent home, where she will be confined for 40 days, said Steve Whitmore of the L.A. County Sheriff's office.
He said the decision was made for medical reasons.


SERIOUSLY? MEDICAL REASONS? like what? genital herpes? anorexia? ugh.

so much for 23 paris-free days.

breaking news: god even punishes televangelists

from cnn:
The Rev. Jerry Falwell was found unconscious in his office today and taken to a hospital, a Liberty University executive told a newspaper. Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Falwell's Liberty University, said Falwell was found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but said Falwell "has a history of heart challenges."

the good news is that when this happens, the rest of us are spared lectures by televangelists. not that i wish a heart attack on anyone. or whatever it is that happened to him.
*UPDATE 1:53PM EST*
-- The Rev. Jerry Falwell has died at age 73, The Associated Press reports.
ok, now i feel bad. you can't make jokes when people died, no matter how much you disagreed with their views and politics (can you?)
