Economic Parables

I live in hope that the age of vacuous celebrity will end soon, but until it does we have to put up with a tsunami of trivialization emanating from the mouths of people who are best left to reading a script and playing at being intelligent rather than trying to convince us they are. Off script and undirected they have a tendency to talk complete and utter nonsense, as the late plumber Thomas Crapper used to say.

The latest excuse for flushing out the views of celebrities is the Tea Party. Here's the all too predictable script they follow:

FADE IN

CUT TO: Gut-wrenching liberal angst

Sean Penn told Piers Morgan on CNN the Tea Party would like to "lynch" President Obama

CUT TO: furrowed brow of indignant concern

Then Morgan Freeman said the Tea Party wants to “get the black man out”, and then…

CUT TO: scantily-cladwoman with puzzled look

Eva Longoria said it is “very dangerous because it’s not the character of America.”

CUT TO: group shot of well-dressed but obviously and deeply troubled poseurs

Add to this a whole bunch of other renta-mouths with money who tell us the Tea Party is a"racist" group, including Bill Maher, Joy Behar, Janeane Garofalo and Jon Stewart.

CUT TO: A happy smiling banker

Meanwhile, the Occupy Wall Street crowd attracts the praise of some of America’s richest celebrities, and celebritynetworth.com has done us the great service of naming the richest top 10:

#1 Yoko Ono NetWorth - $500 million.

#2 RussellSimmons Net Worth - $325 million

#3 Roseanne Barr Net Worth - $80 million

#4 Deepak Chopra Net Worth - $80 million

#5 Kanye West Net Worth - $70 million

#6 Alec Baldwin Net Worth - $65 million

#7 SusanSarandon Net Worth - $50 million

#8 Michael Moore Net Worth - $50 million

#9 Tim Robbins Net Worth - $50 million

#10 Nancy Pelosi Net Worth - $35.5 million

So, why don’t we form a movement to occupy Hollywood?

FADE OUT: Hopefully celebrity will soon!

Now, wouldn't it be great if the right people were celebrated instead?
