Celebrity Politicians

When first reading this story, I thought it was incredibly funny. It used a crazy, impossible scenario to describe a controversial real world problem. The economy's state of stability (or lack there of) is something everyone can relate to and understand. By using celebrities it adds a lightness to heavy topic. I am sure that some people may have taken this offensively and look at it as though James McMurrow Jr. was taking a stab at the government, when in actuality, he was trying to point out the no one is perfect, celebrities would be terrible people to have in government and that we elect people for their conservativeness in government. It may not be perfect, but it will take time and instead of pointing fingers we need to remember why we elected people in the first place.
