Politicians and family

Lately in the news Hillary Clinton's daughter was the target of some remark in which Hillary Clinton was so incensed that she threatened to boycott MSNBC. Perhaps the comment may not have been that well worded. However I think, that in general if you start to do high profile political stumping and thus tryto influence the voting of others, you have made the choice to subject yourself to same scrutiny and hell that the person you are supporting is going through. Chelsea Clinton by making speeches and holding meetings has made that choice, so have the Romney sons. They aren't minors anymore and they've made the choice, so I think they should all deal. If they don't want the comments, they can always not go on the campaign trail.

Wrong matchup at the superbowl

I was hoping for a Patriots vs. Cowboys Superbowl. Why? At half time you could have a closed cage wrestling match between the girlfriends of the two quarterbacks (for those of you who don't know - Miss Giselle Bundchen (Thomas Brady) vs. Miss Jessica Simpson (Anthony Romo)).

Society is messed up

So, here's an example of the more rich and famous you are, the more things you get for free: Paris Hilton, who is less than a stellar example of how to act responsibly (y'know the arrest, video etc.). First she gets some strange honor by some Harvard Lampoon society but second and of bigger notice is that the hotels in the Boston area were competing for her business (or her endorsement) by offering their most expensive suites for free (at least one did). I thought the more fame and money you have, the less of a hit it should be on your wallet to pay. Instead it's the reverse: this is just one of the reasons why those who have, have an easier time staying at the top - and in this sense the market is not perfect and that helping the little or medium guy/gal isn't a bad thing.
