In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, Mollygood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day—using 17 syllables or less—you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of Mollygood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.

Today's Someone Haiku winner is April:

small people, big world
small people, low tolerance
some things are unfair.

Well done. And well done on the calculation proving that this guy is a cheap date.

New one under here.

Los Angeles prosecutors are holding county sheriff's officials in contempt for releasing Paris Hilton after three days despite the court sentencing her to 23. Today at 9:00 am, there will be a formal hearing to decide if Paris will finish out her sentence on house arrest, as was decided yesterday, or be returned to jail.

"What transpired here is outrageous," county Supervisor Don Knabe told The Associated Press, adding he received more than 400 angry e-mails and hundreds more phone calls from around the country.

Hilton's return home "gives the impression of … celebrity justice being handed out," he said.

Sheriff Lee Baca is still keeping mum as to exactly why Paris was released, but he did issue this mysterious statement: "It isn't wise to keep a person in jail with her problem over an extended period of time and let the problem get worse…"

Thanks for being so open, Elected Public Official. Nice to see that local governments aren't above taking the cryptic, unilateral decision-making route that's made our national bureaucracy world famous.

Anyway, aside from racism, anti-Semitism, ignorance, a cloudy sense self-worth and vapidity, what is Paris' "problem"?
