I think that politics and celebrity are a bad mix.

I don't have formal obligations the way that an elected official or striving politician does, and yet I am attacked for writing about or otherwise interacting with celebrities, even though I confront them about their behavior when nobody else does.

I have never had a direct conversation with a celebrity.  I keep my distance.  I don't lust for money and I fear fame.

Although I am occasionally off-kilter because of the horrific abuse to which I've been subjected since 2010, the Democratic Party is incoherent, and I say that as someone who has been a Democrat my entire life.

The entertainment industry is morally bankrupt and intellectually stunted.  Until it stops being those things, all politicians, elected or not, should steer clear of it.
