Rummy,
One, it isn't a lengthy article. It takes about 60 seconds to read. Two,
the premise and summation of the article was stated in the first sentence.
Three, this is an entertainment magazine, marketed to the shallowest and
vainest of people. The people covered in this magazine don't get their
investment advice form Vanity Fair, they have "people" who do that for
them. Whoops, the people who are featured in the magazine probably don't
read the magazine, right? They are out 'saving the world". And what talent
are they saving the world with? It must be their advanced degrees. Perhaps
it is their wisdom gained over time. Maybe they experienced an epiphany in
rehab. Give me a frigging' break. Rummy, I'll read whatever you post but
I'll shoot down pop culture in a heartbeat! If I had a time machine and
could wake a dead soldier from Normandy and explain what's going on, this is
what I'd say; "Europe is being invaded, the US is facing uncertain economic
times, we were attacked, what shall we do?"
No offense Rummy, I'll stick to news magazines, newspapers, and the blogs,
and not the shit leftover in the beauty parlor waiting room.
