"..General (Ret.) Wesley K. Clark, Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander on Donald Trump’s remarks

“On 9/11, when America was under attack, NATO nations all mobilized to come to our defense and fought alongside us to crush al Qaeda. They didn’t ask us for money. They didn’t put strings on it. That is the kind of iron-clad commitment that has kept Western democracies — including our own — alive for 75 years.

“For Donald Trump to publicly signal to Vladimir Putin that he can take as much of Europe as he wants, and we will sit by and cheer him on, isn’t just breaking the promise the United States has made, and it isn’t just threatening Europe. It is encouraging World War III, which will hit our shores and cost American lives.

“It is the kind of statement that can only come from a deranged and twisted mind. I do not say this lightly: The lives of every American, both in uniform and civilian, are at severe risk if Donald Trump wins this election.”.."

Long game, good game. My daughter joined Draft Kings - they gave her $300 and she won $550 on top of that.

  I re-read my post. Didn't see where I said you were shallow. But I certainly think Americans spend way too much time deifying actors and musicians and other celebrities. It's truly sickening. My "diatribe" as you put it wasn't aimed at you. But when you said the ONLY reason you were watching the Super Bowl was because of Swift, admittedly it set me off. As for Tyson, I admire you more than I do him. You succeeded scholastically despite raising kids and dealing with life's everyday problems, the kind of problems Tyson hasn't endured as a hero of certain segments. Tyson is worth 5 million bucks, which makes the everyday striving we all do much easier.
  You know what? You're a hero. To me. And you don't even get paid to give lectures like Tyson.
  I admire everyday people. That's just how it is.
 

You never said I was shallow (I suggested it!) but I think that people who devote a lot of time to this stuff need to get a life. A lot of my working life is, well, working. Sometimes a silly diversion is exactly the best diversion. It's winter, a sweet romance between a billionaire Pop Star and a now a 3 time Super Bowl winner is a match made in heaven. I was spoon fed this kind of stuff as a kid with Disney Princesses, Star Trek, Batmam, Flipper and Daktari thrown in for the animal connection. I am a walking contradiction...

I bet you know all the words to all her songs and the dance moves to go with them!  LOL
  Not one song. I just don't play into that "people worship" thing. Idiots even do that celebrity worship thing to Trump.
  That's not working out well.

I didn't take into account the gender differences. Sweet romances make me nauseous. Sincerely . Plus I've had the unfortunate opportunity to meet a couple of people I really had liked,one was Stephen King.
   Now you can't pay me to read his stuff.
