Short Stay for Lohan

According to one of the British tabloids, looks like Lindsay Lohan will be released from jail soon, having likely served not more than 9 days of a 90 day sentence imposed last week for her for violations of the terms of the probation she was serving for various prior offenses, including charges for drunk driving and possession of cocaine. I know many will express outrage that the mediocre actress will serve so little time. Frankly, I am not particularly concerned. Whatever her prior offenses, Lohan didn’t kill anyone, she didn’t hurt anyone (except maybe herself). The girl doesn’t need to serve a lengthy jail sentence. She needs help. And the government needs to spend its resources pursuing real criminals who have committed real crimes. Guys like Roger Clemens.
