For Love or Money

A drug rehabilitation center has sued Courtney Love, claiming the singer has repeatedly refused to pay her $181,000 bill for her stay there 1 1/2 years ago.

This lack of character and personal accountability is hardly surprising. Love was another anti-defense media icon I profiled in "A Judgment Call," my March 2005 Rights Watch column for GUNS Magazine:
Where do we begin with grunge diva Courtney Love? Multiple arrests for drug abuse, reportedly shooting heroin while pregnant? Assault with a deadly weapon, attacking a woman at her ex-boyfriend's home? Hitting a man at a nightclub in the head with a microphone stand? Getting arrested for disrupting a transatlantic flight? Being assigned a guardian, losing custody of her daughter and being institutionalized?

How about if we just focus on her statement to the Million Moms that US gun laws are "nihilistic and barbaric"?

I didn't know she was still alive. Thought she would have died a long time ago.

Keep flushing, and flushing. But somehow she keeps rising back up in the bowl....irritating, really, it is!
