Paris in jail v. military in Iraq

I am not one who follows celebrity nonsense but sometimes it is unavoidable as it shouts at you from most news sites. Therefore I had heard about Paris Hilton being released from jail after 3 days [apparently they count showing up at nearly midnight as day 1] because she did not like the food and could not sleep.

Poor baby!

She got the same treatment as all others in jail. Jail food and jail conditions and she could not stand it and it made her cry..

Poor baby.

Maybe she ought to try following the law?

Anyway - my thoughts were that it's okay to release her on these conditions and these only:

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they do not like the food they are served

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they have trouble sleeping

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they miss their families

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they miss their friends

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they miss their former life styles

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they ever feel afraid

All military in Iraq and Afghanistan will be allowed to return home and not have to go back if they ever get too hot

The same can be said on behalf of all the others who are incarcerated....The rich should not get special treatment unless ALL get that same special treatment but especially the military as they ave not broken any law and yet are subjected to worse conditions that Paris Hilton's jail cell conditions.

Dems have a sense of humor....

This is a funny way to point out where dems should go next with the "I don't recall" crowd..

Surprise...surprise

I always loved it when Sam Seder said this - you just knew that whatever it was - was definitely NOT a surprise to the listeners - only to the Administration maybe and those who think that our Federal agencies [like the FDA] are actually inspecting and protecting our food and other products ....

That said - here is my "surprise, surprise" - bad toothpaste - from? guess where?

If you said China - you know more than the FDA about where bad stuff originates...and isn't that a bit odd?

From the FDA...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today warned consumers to avoid using tubes of toothpaste labeled as made in China, and issued an import alert to prevent toothpaste containing the poisonous chemical diethylene glycol (DEG) from entering the United States.

DEG is used in antifreeze and as a solvent.

Consumers should examine toothpaste products for labeling that says the product is made in China. Out of an abundance of caution, FDA suggests that consumers throw away toothpaste with that labeling. FDA is concerned that these products may contain "diethylene glycol," also known as "diglycol" or "diglycol stearate."

FDA is not aware of any U.S. reports of poisonings from toothpaste containing DEG. However, the agency is concerned about potential risks from chronic exposure to DEG and exposure to DEG in certain populations, such as children and individuals with kidney or liver disease. DEG in toothpaste has a low but meaningful risk of toxicity and injury to these populations. Toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, but FDA is concerned about unintentional swallowing or ingestion of toothpaste containing DEG.

FDA has identified the following brands of toothpaste from China that contain DEG and are included in the import alert: Cooldent Fluoride; Cooldent Spearmint; Cooldent ICE; Dr. Cool, Everfresh Toothpaste; Superdent Toothpaste; Clean Rite Toothpaste; Oralmax Extreme; Oral Bright Fresh Spearmint Flavor; Bright Max Peppermint Flavor; ShiR Fresh Mint Fluoride Paste; DentaPro; DentaKleen; and DentaKleen Junior. Manufacturers of these products are: Goldcredit International Enterprises Limited; Goldcredit International Trading Company Limited; and Suzhou City Jinmao Daily Chemicals Company Limited. The products typically are sold at low-cost, “bargain” retail outlets.
