are interesting. I have my opinions about why they do what they do. But, who knows? Anyway, I thought I’d put together a page of posts I write about people. Most are public figures, either real or imagined on TV shows or the movies. Also, there’s some personal posts about family, etc. Here’s a list in no particular order. Here we go.

[I started following Krystal Ball back in 2008 as Election 2008 heated up. She was a commentator on MSNBC, and just 24 years old. She’d drew the network’s attention because she had lost a bid for congress, partly due to some leaked video of her being silly at a Halloween party. One thing led to another and her million dollar career was launched.
We share the same birthday, November 24 – THE DAY OF CONTENTIOUS CONVIVIALITY. That’s about where the similarities end. She’s almost a professional airhead. She lacks any independent, critical thinking or analysis. Yet here she is, 16 years later, killing it on YouTube and Spotify with her own platform.
She seems almost oblivious as to why she’s so popular/watched.]
