• Why the hell does every celebrity think their opinion matters?

  Take, for example:
  

  Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres made a surprise appearance by video uplink at a Hillary Clinton rally on Monday evening, energizing the young audience and tossing Clinton a few inside-the-beltway questions she might get on a Sunday morning talk show. Clinton took several questions from DeGeneres, who led off by jokingly asking Clinton if she would consider banning glitter. Then the comedian put on a straight face and turned to the presidential horserace.“As we all know,” Degeneres noted, “Obama has now won 11 states in a row. What needs to happen to change the momentum?” 

  Don’t misunderstand me, I like Ellen. I like her when she’s dancing around on her talk show, because it’s funny. But what does being famous have to do with wisdom? Why should we take the opinion of celebrities just because they’re famous?I mean, first it’s Oprah with Obama. Now it’s Ellen with Clinton. What’s next, Martha Stewart for Romney?Oh well.
