The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

I read a story earlier this year about a woman in Tennessee naming her child Messiah. While I believe the woman has a right to name her child this, I have to wonder why in the world any parent would want to name their child Messiah. Talk about pressure... While the mother is at it, she should name her other kids King, Champion, Winner, and Best. If the child makes a name for himself, though (good or bad), he could make for some humorous headlines, such as the following: - "Messiah Prays to Self After Scoring a Touchdown" - "Messiah Wins Best Rap Album at the Grammy's" - "Messiah Caught in a Love Triangle with Mary and Cinnamon" - "Messiah Caught Stealing Panties from Victoria's Secret Again" - "Messiah Stars in the Porno Moan My Name " - "Messiah Arrested for Streaking Around a Church" - "Messiah Comes Out of the Closet" - "Messiah Shunned By Church for Supporting Abortion Rights" ...

It makes me laugh when people refer to President Obama as the "celebrity" president. Really? What's the definition of celebrity? "A well-known or famous person". So, what is being said is that Obama is the well-known, famous president? What president wasn't well-known or famous? It'd be like me calling a millionaire "the rich millionaire". He/She is a millionaire. I think it can be assumed that they're rich.  I'm just waiting for the day that 50% of the country to not know who the president is and we can then say he/she isn't a "celebrity" president.
