It's All in the Phrasing



Dear Avid Readers,

For those of you like Yours Truly who needed a modern day miracle to reaffirm life and all its wonders we tuned in last night to watch Asia and Trixie's ex best friend Paris give her first post freedom interview with Larry King. Although most of what Paris said was probably scripted and to be expected there was one thing that caught my ear, and it wasn't until Her Artjesty (One of Yours Truly's BFF) pointed out a very interesting interpretational phrasing that I realized Paris may not be a liar but in fact was speaking the truth when she said she never did drugs. Now, for most of us when asked, "have you ever taken drugs" we would assume it covered anything that our Prez considered "illegal" Now, perhaps we don't give Paris as much credit as we should, because depending on interpretation, it's really SMOKING the Mary Jane and not really TAKING it. Paris could have

1. Taken Acid
2. Snorted Coke
3. Shot up Heroine
4. Smoked a Doobie
or even
5. Injected Crack

Despite the fact that Yours Truly is an avid despiser of Paris Hilton, Yours Truly is also an advid admirer or logic. Therefore, perhaps Paris was indeed telling the truth that she did not "Take" any drugs.

Food for Thought

No--I don't think Paris is smart enough to answer it in such a "technical way" she's an idiot, such an idiot she didn't even think about at least telling a somewhat lie that maybe she had weed or some cocaine once, but did not like it. I mean no one is going to believe she had not taken any drugs, i mean she probably loves the pain pills.

You're back! I was starting to get worried that my most avid reader had disappeared. It's so good to read your voice! I have been trying to think of something witty to say back to Michael in response to your last post...but nothing mean enough has come up....either way I am so thrilled you are back!
