Not crying over strike

At last! A crisis I don’t have to worry about: the Hollywood writers’ strike.

I am sorry for all the non-celebrities who are affected, but I won’t be shedding any tears for those top stars (not all of them, just a lot of them) who use their celebrity to bash America at every opportunity. America — the country where they are free to spit in its face while becoming rich and famous. Maybe the people who mindlessly worship them are even worse.

Lower still than "people who mindlessly worship" Hollywood celebrities are those who bash them with mindless generalities and assumptions about their patriotism (or lack thereof).

Incidentally, the "top stars," who have projects lined up a decade in advance, and are the objects of Shirley Cornelius' uncalled-for contempt, are not affected by the writers' strike anyway. They're Americans, too, Shirley, and they have the same right to voice their opinion as you have, and to accuse them of "spitting in [America's] face" for exercising that right is just as unpatriotic as you accuse them of being.
