Kardashians

A friend expressed amazement, incredulity,
and wonder that my blog's received, now,
30,000 hits without a word concerning
the Kardashians. I had to look them up to
understand the implication: A family
tree with broken branches, banks of money,
broken, pampered lives get scrutinized,
dissected, all to make a buck, the oddity
that is "celebrity," a "personality" which
loses who the person really is. They're pretty,
males and females both, and evidently shrewd,
so famous just for being famous, but I live quite
nicely, thank you, without trying to Keep Up.
