You read the headline right! Professor Thomas Bayer of Tulane University is actually propagating the idea that Brad Pitt be Mayor of New Orleans! Shirts are already being sold and the movement is gaining steam!

I really could not believe it when I read this the first time. I dismissed it in the first few articles but now it is being reported in CNN. So there must be some truth to it. I just made fun of Minnesota, I guess I owe them an apology. Celebrity mania is affecting all areas of America!

Fame seems to be becoming a new religion in America. Can we blame President Reagan for this? I do not think so, but he is a catalyst. Even President Reagan is treated as a deity in the Republican party. Every Republican want to be like him. President Eisenhower achieved much more than President Reagan had (watch the Republicans go ballistic) but would never be mentioned in the same breath at all.

Isn’t is sad? In what way is Brad Pitt qualified to become a Mayor or a politician? What has he done in public service? I would be honest and say that I do not know much about what he has done for the 9th ward, so that is a bit harsh on my part; But the number of people that want him just because he is an actor is just too many to ignore. What experience does he have that would make him good for the job? What are his views?

In that argument I think that his wife, the gorgeous Angelina Jolie, is more accomplished than him. She does a lot of public service and we know many of her views. And after all this Sanford saga, are we going to evict “black mark” Brad Pitt because he cheated on Jennifer Aniston?

Professor Bayer mentioned that he is doing this because he admires what Brad Pitt has done for New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. To be fair, his humor piece for why Brad Pitt should be Mayor is absolutely hilarious. Read it at http://www.storyvilletimes.com/2009/05/brad-pitt-for-mayor.php

It is not the fact that the is a movie star that disqualifies him. I just feel that it is sad that Americans want him to be a Mayor just because he is a movie star. Lets vet him. Lets see what he says. We have not seen anything from him yet and already people want him to be their Mayor. That sucks.

This so similar to people wanting Fran Drescher to be a Senator from New York. Can you imagine her nasal voice in the Senate? We would like to hear Representative Barney Frank’s voice when she comes, I am sure. (Of course I am kidding guys!)

The one thing I agree is that Angelina Jolie would make one hot first lady! Hell, the Mayor of New Orleans could be anybody; but the first lady should be Angelina Jolie!
