Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication.

She acts like that naturally.

"She's absolutely fine," [Hilton's spokesman] Mintz said.

See?

That should carry a mandatory sentence of a grizzly bear attack.

In June, Hilton had a fender-bender accident when her Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage after a shopping trip.

What does this have to do with the story? Am I to assume she was drunk at the time?

    I could swear I recently read an interview with her (why, I don't know) that she never drinks. She doesn't like it or some such crap.

    I would, because I am a shallow person, enjoy watching this freak show get completely dismantled.

    And, by the way, Paris says that if you ever see her in a club doing a tequila shot – she's actually drinking water, because she doesn't "like the taste of alcohol. It grosses me out.

    Um. Yeah. Maybe I do have a little too much time on my hands.

      I'm not sure. But I think it may have something to do with Rumsfeld, or perhaps that Republicans are evil. Or is it Democrats that are evil? I can never keep it straight.

        here is the TOP GEAR CHALLENGE video w/ the SLR, watch that whole challenge, and listen to what Jeremy thinks about the car.

          When your debut album has a lackluster release, nothing better than a bit of tabloid news to help build a little more publicity!

          Okay, so I need to get a life. I came across this:

          Paris calls in to the Ryan Seacrest show to defend herself

          I find a number of things amusing. #1, she was supposedly "starving" because she hadn't eaten all day. But in the clip, she also says she went to dinner with her sister and girlfriends. Hmmm. I also find it amusing that she's so stupid.

          In addition, I find it amusing that I seem to care. What's wrong with me?

            Paris Hilton should use this experience to teach others about DUI. I'm 27 years old, never been in trouble before. Last December I was pulled over because the license plate light on my car wasn't working. I had been drinking, but I thought I was under the legal limit. I blew a .08. I was arrested, taken to jail, strip searched, put into an orange jumpsuit (complete with dirty underwear, which I didn't wear), and had to spend the night in jail. I coorperated and wasn't causing any trouble. But, that is what they did to me! Paris should have had the same treatment! My charge ended up getting reduced to careless driving, but I still had to pay many of the fines and deal with the penalties, which included 12 weeks of DUI classes (at $40 each, which is nothing for Hilton, but hard for someone like me). In those classes, I learned that .08 is driving impaired, and that thousands of people are killed each year by drivers in the .08-.10 blood alcohol range. Yes, buzzed driving IS drunk driving! Paris blows off a .08 as "nothing." I hope she learns that driving at .08 is a very serious thing. Many other people are arrested all over the country each day with .08 blood alcohol levels. These arrests put a TON of strain and stress on people's lives. And, most people at that blood alcohol level didn't realize they were breaking the law when they got behind the wheel. Most people think that they are under the legal limit. But, .08 is impaired and it is illegal to drive at that level. Paris should use this opportunity to teach people that.
