Most admired 2011

Those 'most admired of the year' lists are out again. For the annual Gallup poll most admired male of 2011 Barrack Obama is in first place. But he shouldn't feel too happy about it, George Bush was number two. Someone should check the breath of the voters to make sure they were sober. It seems that in this country the president almost always wins, even when he is a dud like Bush and Obama.

Hillary Clinton was first on the lady list this year. Hillary should also not do any somersaults about her selection. A talk show TV hostess, Oprah Winphrey, finished second. I am not sure why I should admire Oprah, other than the fact that she makes a lot of money by presenting dumbed down programming for the masses. But Hillary has a tough job as Secretary of State and by all accounts has done well. She has won the award 10 years in a row. It seems a bad combo.

Why do they lump together entertainers with Secretaries of State? It's like presenting the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes on the same stage as the award for the guy who can drink the most beer through a straw in his nose. The public votes on the award for most admired without regard to category because politics, religion, money and culture get publicity that is needed for selection.

Why not have separate categories for most admire? I, uh have a few suggestions and my winner of each. How about?

* 'Most admired dysfunctional celebrity'- I couldn't pick one as the winner, given that there are literally 1000's of equally obnoxious, spoiled brat celebrities.

* 'Most admired growth pattern for short people'- The late North Korean dictator Kim Jun Il wins in a landslide due to his super sized shoe lifts and that comb up hair wave that turned him from an insane midget to an insane NBA prospect.

* 'Most admired for having the most success with the least talent'- Kim Kardashian or any Kardashian, for that matter. Every reality TV contestant ties for second place.

* 'Most admired death'- Take your pick between Mohammar Ghaddafi and that Little Kim guy. The world is still applauding the demise of both.

* 'Most admired for likely to keep tattooing'- That Kat Von D creature who's whole fame is tied to sexual excess with creepy men and her endless supply of tattoos. Oh wait, I withdraw the selection.. I think that Kat has run out room for any more toos.

Your suggestions for more categories and winners are welcome..............
