Another Self-Important Celebrity: Obama's Awesome, Dude

Ashton Kutcher, while also in That 70's Show and Punked, is best known for his Nikon commercials. The young actor has taken the bold stand of agreeing with almost everyone around him and smiling politely.

Kutcher even has written a column in the Huffington Post declaring his support for-- you know, stuff:

Four years ago I sat in a hotel room with Israel's Head of State, then former Prime Minister Shimon Peres, where he proceeded to tell me what he felt made America a great country. He said that throughout history America, more than any other nation, has supported itself and consistently extended itself to other countries in need without looking for anything in return. I bit my lip as I thought about our national pursuit of Middle Eastern oil and how much more we could be doing as a country for so many resource depleted nations. I kept my retort to this gracious offering to myself and accepted it as a political offering of good will.

Kutcher met Shimon Peres? What the hell is that about. And he's going to talk him down, one of the most respected diplomats in the world. Give me a break.

Celebrities to Make Us Regret Electing Obama at His Own Inauguration

Well, as if the nation doesn't need anything else on its hands. Recession, war, the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies... and now this?

Apparently a bunch of "really smart" celebrities are going to celebrate the fact that they finally jumped on the right bandwagon. They're going to be real happy that they were able to push Barack Obama over the top with their shrill messages and condescending assholery.

Sweet merciful Washington:

HBO will televise the celebration, entitled "We Are One," which takes place from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 18 in Washington. The kickoff event foreshadows a week of activities and celebrations surrounding the inauguration next Tuesday of President-elect Obama.

"We have found that the great artists are eager to take part and each one is working with us to find music that expresses the optimism and hope that people bring to the Obama inauguration," said Michael Stevens, the director of the production.

I may be mistaken, but this may be a sign of the apocalypse.
