#574 Possession

Some times life isn’t fair.
Lindsay Lohan was found intoxicated again.
This after a magazine article quoted Lohan as saying that she would volunteer to wear an alcohol detection bracelet in case there was any question when she went out dancing. Authorities applauded her candor, her forthrightness and, as it turned out, her chutzpah.
Days later, she was back in the slammer.
Perhaps this is some sort of rivalry she has going between her and the hotel brat—who can do the most time for the same crime. Because all of this occurred only two weeks after Lohan was released from a Malibu rehab center.
So does she get her money back on this rehab thing? ‘Cause it seems like these Malibu rehab centers never quite stick.
If I was offering a service that consistently failed, I think people might stop using me. Imagine a gas station attendant that repeatedly failed to put the nozzle in the right place. Or a pizza joint that never delivered your pie.
I think I’ll make “Malibu Rehab” a code word for failure.
“What’s that clunky noise?” Didn’t your car just get fixed?
“Yeah, I know, looks like I took it in for Malibu Rehab.”
“Your computer crashed again? I thought you had it worked on.”
“Me too. Guess it was just a Malibu Rehab.”
The sad thing is, when Lindsay was arrested, she was also found to have a white substance on her that tested positive for opiates.
So listen to what she was charged with when they booked her at the police station: 2 counts of driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, driving with a suspended license, and bringing a controlled substance into a police facility.
That really seems unfair. It’s not like she voluntarily walked into the jail with cocaine. She, and the drugs, were brought there against her will.
Lindsay Lohan has a serious problem. I hope she gets some real help.
It always hurts to see fabulously rich people tarnishing the American Dream. How are the rest of us going to believe money buys happiness?
If that belief shatters, our economy will fail quicker than a Malibu Rehab.
America ya gotta love it
