Just another example of somebody that happens to be famous, thinking they
have something useful to say, and the toady media paying attention. She's a
pretty good singer, but why does she think anybody should pay any attention
to what she has to say on other matters? Experts outside of their field are
no better than Joe Blow off the street. Probably more dangerous, since
people assume that because they are famous, they must be right.
