Quote Heavy

As a reasonable person, I hate Beyonce. So imagine my anger when I read this article about celebrities that will be flocking to the Obama inauguration.

Beyonce says, and I quote...

"I'm there. I can't wait. I feel like all of us, we're ready to do whatever we have to do. If they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I'm there and I'm ready."

First of all, shes talking like a pitcher that was asked to go on 3 days rest in the playoffs. Secondly, "need"? Are you kidding?

No one "needs" Beyonce for anything. I understand how famous and successful she is, and that her and Jay-Z are the worst(I actually typed that, obviously I meant worlds. Freudian slip) richest power couple even though they have very little "power" in the grand scale of things, regardless of how much Beyonce thinks she can help Barack Obama. "Sasha Fierce" can stay home.

I don't like to talk about politics here, even though most people who would read this agree with my feelings. It gets people all riled up and far too serious, its much more fun to get people screaming about how much we all hate Audrina Patridge. But I just want to mention how Obama has done well by separating himself from shitty people. The only celebrity that he has close public ties with is Oprah, which is just a good idea for anyone.

You never saw him with Reverend Al did you? White people never would have voted for him. In that same vein, he can't possibly want anything to do all the celebrities that will be jumping on this bandwagon. For every respectable one, there will be five that you wouldn't even want to meet. One "celebrity" ball will be hosted by Lou Gosset Jr. who you probably thought died shortly after the filming of Iron Eagle II. Or was it III? Facts have no place here.

Even though I support Obama, I'm very aware that people like Beyonce have turned that into a trendy, douchebag activity. But this is the inauguration, so luckily everyone can shut up about this for another four years as of January 21st.
