Liberal Democrats and Celebrities...Dumb and Dumber

Some people can throw a baseball 95 mph. Some people can hit a golf ball 350 years with a high degree of accuracy. Others can run faster than the wind blows. These people's talents result in unequal outcomes in terms of their ability to perform in the professional sports business. As a result people with these talents earn salaries and bonuses that make them among the richest people on Earth. Some people are smart. Some people work very long hours and sacrifice pleasure for the sake of their work. Other people are very effective leaders and motivational communicators. These people are often successful in "the real world". They have jobs and do things better than their competition in the market. These people are called "the rich" by demagoging liberals. For some reason equal opportunity and equal rights to liberal democrats, including the likely next president, means that results in income and wealth should be as close to equal as possible. We should share the wealth. I am at a loss for words when our next president and the rank and file of his party are essentially socialists, who, in an effort to ensure their political power, work tirelessly to take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have not. Some people are smart. Others are not. There is very little correlation between being one of the smart people and being a member of the US Congress. In fact, many of these people are either dumber than the average dolphin or they are so blinded by ideology and the lust for their own power that they will say anything and do anything, no matter how moronic. Very sad times for the pathetic state of our leadership...or lack of leadership.

It would be funny if it were not so sad that celebrities confirm all that most normal and thoughtful people think of them...that they are self absorbed, shallow stooges who should keep their mouths shut when they are not reading a script, singing a song , or chatting mindlessly in the privacy of their own homes. It is kind of sad when people think you are an imbecile, it is really sad when you prove it every time you open you mouth to comment on topics which you do not have the mental capacity to understand. When we want a celebrity to comment on the root cause of the financial crisis and the viability of the proposed solutions, we will ask...in the mean time, chomp on your tofu, count the shoes in your closet, and ponder the ramifications of next year's hem lines. Leave thinking to people who are equipped to do it.
