Tim Hardaway and the Senseless Crowd

Tim Hardaway can’t stand gay people. Sensible people can’t stand Tim Hardaway. Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of senseless people in this world.Look for cartoons on this next week here, or in your Candorville-carrying local paper.


Of course they let Paris out of jail

Just more proof that the rich and famous live in a different world than the rest of us. Imagine the average inmate being allowed to spend the bulk of her sentence in a luxurious mansion because she didn’t like the prison food.

Paris Hilton was let out of jail Thursday morning, days after she began serving what was to have been a 45-day sentence for violating probation, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. Hilton must wear a monitoring bracelet and remain at her home for another 40 days, said sheriff’s department spokesman Steve Whitmore.Medical considerations “played a part” in the decision to offer Hilton home confinement for the remainder of her sentence, Whitmore said. (Watch Whitmore detail Hilton’s deal )He said privacy rules prohibited him from giving details about the medical issues, but celebrity Web site TMZ.com earlier quoted sources saying Hilton was refusing to eat much of the jail food served her.Whitmore said that after “extensive consultation with medical personnel” it was decided to offer Hilton “reassignment” to home confinement, which she and her attorneys accepted.

Nate Dogg is Dead.

Nate Dogg’s dead. People are eulogizing him as the man who, more than most, shaped the sound of Nineties hip-hop. He collaborated with just about everyone from Snoop Dogg (no relation) to Erykah Badu. His smooth-as-silk voice will live on in the iTunes libraries of every Gen-Xer until our generation’s last light saber dims. It’s a real mark of character when a man can sing as soulfully about carjacking, womanizing, drug abuse, and cold-blooded murder… as other men do about love and romance. So today, our character playlist is missing a track, and we’ll never replace it. Because Apple doesn’t let you replace missing tracks you’ve already bought, unless you buy them again. But I digress.

A side note: Doctors want to replace both of Prince’s hips… Nate Dogg’s dead… That means both the Eighties AND the Nineties are now officially over (I’ll miss my parachute pants). Those of you who want the ’00s to last forever had better chip in and get Miley Cyrus some multivitamins.
