Always completely escapes me why anyone cares what some entertainer, no matter how talented, thinks about political issues. Most of these people are not very bright or are as ignorant as all get out.

Yep. While I admit, I find it neat when one actually stands out amongst his peers who typically think one way. But why the hell do Americans or people in general, fawn over celebrities or sports stars? The obsession with these people is just sickening, especially for adults. They act, sing, play a sport. Great. Good for them. Just about all of them are not worth what they are paid, are not better than everyone else despite what they or others think, and their opinion should not matter more than anyone elses. Quit giving them so much attention. My God, its become so bad in this country, the friggin Kardashians are famous as hell for doing pretty much nothing, for having zero talent. What is wrong with people?

They're actually famous for having raunchy sex......what does that say about America. Their mom was involved and this is how she wanted her girls to be, not something of self worth.

Plus how many people would you actually hang out with that is taking pictures of themselves daily......we are warped!

Wonder if KK will continue into her 60's showing us all she has......

So an extremely attractive woman with unbelievable bodily assets is getting rich just because she's hot? OMG! The world is about to end! You know...cuz Lord knows THAT'S never happened before in the annals of human history.

No...it all started with Kim Kardashian

You're mad that people with no talent are getting rich and famous.

Meanwhile, Carly Fiorina runs a company in the ground and walked away with a golden parachute for doing so in the amount that far exceeds half of Kim Kardashian's total net worth.

But Kim Kardashian is the bad guy, and Carly Fiorina is deemed worthy to run for president.

Right wingers.

Apparently neither does access to the internet.

Who is this "we," by the way? Do you always speak in the majestic plural mode? We are not amused.
Sorry, I'm not here to amuse you

James Taylor thinks Obama is greatest President of all-time | Fox News

I think Lincoln would be ahead, but he's close

Ok, after reading the link it seems Fox is lying, as usual. He doesn't say that Obama is the greatest President of all time, he says he's the greatest President since he's been watching politics

"I've been watching politics since (Dwight) Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and Obama is my favorite, favorite president," Taylor said in an interview Wednesday. "I am just thankful for every day that he's in office. I am so proud that he represents my country and I think he represents me — I think he represents the America that I know."

1. Who is James Taylor?
2. Why should I care what he thinks about anything?

It's about Warren Beatty! At least that's what I heard. I could definitely believe it.

Maybe by your ilk but not the rest of the world. Thank God I don't have any Ted Nugent music that I have to throw out.
