And so it comes to this. We’re in the midst of a heated presidential contest, an energy crisis looms, the economy is on the skids, and I come before you today to once again write about… Paris Hilton. The celebrity – whose fame, as near as I can tell, resulted entirely from the circumstances of her mother having intercourse with William Baron Hilton’s boy – has responded to John McCain’s use of her image in his recent “celebrity” advertisement.

See more Paris Hilton videos at Funny or Die.

Aside from thanking the “wrinkly white haired dude” for his endorsement, I must now hold my hands folded in front of me, stare at the ground and shuffle my feet back and forth uncomfortably as I admit…

… Paris Hilton may have a better energy policy than either of the candidates.

Good luck with the blog, guys. I’m off to consider slitting my wrists.
