Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early Thursday and charged with driving under the influence.
TMZ has learned LAPD officers noticed Paris driving her Mercedes McLaren SLR erratically at 12:31 AM and stopped her. They believed she exhibited signs of intoxication. We're told they administered a field sobriety test, and Paris blew a .08. In California, driving with a .08 blood alcohol level is the minimum level for DUI.
Paris was arrested and taken to the LAPD Hollywood division, where she was booked. The officers who stopped the car did not know it was Paris Hilton until they approached the vehicle on foot. Police sources say she was cooperative. Paris had a passenger in the car -- Kimberly Stewart, Rod Stewart's daughter.

I didn't even have to read the article. The headlines set me off.

I have said it before. Class is something one either has or they don't. All the money in all of Christiandom CAN NOT BUY IT! PH has got the cash, but none of the class.
Emaciated little trollop, who the hell sees anything redeeming in that pinched, smug face? She should be bundled up and tossed on the streets of Mogadishu or Calcutta to live among the homeless.
So why are you quibbling with 0.08? Or are you contending there is some huge difference between 0.08 and 0.1?
I am just using the 0.1 figure, because that is the only number I have direct empirical experience with. I would imagine my condition would be fairly similar at four fifths of that blood alcohol content.
Most of these laws were about pandering to people who actually want to have another prohibition, in exchange for power. And they are about,,,you got it,,,MONEY.
They were not about a logical approach to the problem.
10% of the people cause 90% of the problems. (I made those numbers up) Remove them and you have made the biggest impact on the problem.
That is my point, and I know I made it clear if you actually read my posts.
When you hit 0.05 most people will show noticeable impairment in operating a vehicle. Your reaction time is slowed and that can mean life or death when you are behind the wheel.
Which is only slightly lower than her IQ.
Don't you mean higher?
...again.
Thank you. There is a lot of info there which I have been talking about.
How many hours of sleep per night does one need before there is a noticeable impairment in operating a vehicle?
Statistics can show whatever you want them to show.
My guess is is about 1%. Your second question needs to be reversed. Its not how much but how little. What you are trying to say is that a lot of accidents (60% or more) do not involve alcohol. And your third point is sort of true. So are you saying statistics have no value because of that or that we should be wary of how they are used? I think the 60 percent figure indicates driving in and of itself is a risky thing and alcohol doesn't exactly improve your odds any.
Based on what?
What you are trying to say is that a lot of accidents (60% or more) do not involve alcohol.
No I'm not. I'm asking; of all the accidents which are actually caused by alcohol impaired people, not "have involvement", how many of that group were 0.05?

I agree. Which however, has nothing to do with my original point.
So are you saying statistics have no value because of that or that we should be wary of how they are used?
I'm saying that using them to make a point can lead to incorrect conclusions depending on which ones are used and which ones omitted. Better to work with concepts and ideas when possible.
OMG. Normally I could care less about cars, but that's just gorgeous! (I'd hit it!). What does something like that go for?
Wouldn't you need to park in handicapped to be able to open those doors?
This fall, Orange jumpsuit is the new black.
Ive seen that skinny little trollop get out of that same car with a cell phone welded to her eat 369 times this morning...
Would someone PLEASE explain to me what reason she's even remotely popular??
I mean, who cares? Shes a useless, emaciated little airhead.
She is blaming In N Out burger....and the paparrazzi.
>>>Just hours after her arrest on suspicion of DUI, Paris Hilton called into the On Air with Ryan Seacrest show on LA's KIIS-FM this morning and told Ryan that she may have been driving a little fast in her Mercedes McLaren SLR, but it was only because she wanted a burger.
In N Out isnt open that late....the spin wars begin!
