Lindsey Lohan

This morning the coffee group discussed Lindsey Lohan who is in the news once more. She was busted for drugs again and has now been released without jail time because she now will be wearing an ankle bracelet. We were all mystified as to how this prevents her from obtaining and taking drugs. John (the Baptist preacher) was of the opinion that payoffs are at the base of her ability to continually escape incarceration. Payoffs are illegal and it is hard to believe that so many would be doing illegal acts for her. I contended she has a support system that profits when she gets into trouble, all legal. For instance, her atourny does very well defending her, if he needs investigators they get on the payroll, protection (remember all those big black guys that are always around her) is necessary, court fees are always paid, does the baliff get anything? Does the judge get anything? Then there are the various people that suppply whatever she takes. Each city may require diffferent people. The car rentals for her and her bodyguards are also collecting. All these people are her support system, they all profit when she gets into trouble. Now is added the ankle bracelet people who supply the bracelet, attach it, monitor it and eventually remove it. It is in the interests of all these people that the drama continues. During our discussion someone asked what movies she did. As it turned out, none of us had ever seen any of her movies, nor could anyone think of the name of any movie in which she appeared. Yet, we had all heard of her and knew of her troubles with the law. Some remembered a picture that showed her getting out of a car and she was not wearing any panties. This prompted Bob to say that he once relieved himself in the woods without pants and no one made a big deal of it. We asked if he had a picture so we could judge whether it was a big deal or not. No, as it turns out there are no cameramen following Bob around. We can add cameramen to the Lohan support system.
