Annoying Celebrity Spokespeople
I always think this when those epic commercials come on TV and these celebrity spokespeople try to guilt me into donating to charities that they're getting paid to sponsor.
Today, Robert Redford shot off his mouth, more proof that liberalism is a mental disease:
On CNN’s “New Day” on Wednesday, Robert Redford said congressional criticism of President Barack Obama is racially motivated.

I don’t envy [Obama's] position. I think he is a good man. I think he is an intelligent man, a compassionate man who can’t function in that environment. That environment — it is so decrepit.

Granny Annie: We are wary of where our hard earned money goes as well. Salvation Army and St. Jude's Children's Hospital tops our list.
