One of the expressions I find most mystifying is when people praise someone for "making a difference."
In the most benign sense, my dog makes a difference when he chases a cat. Or for that matter, when he doesn't. Marx made a difference and so did Lincoln. I'm not sure why when someone like Ms. Sarandon says it she adds a value to it. Maybe she is just saying this stuff because she's embarrassed that she supported Obama.
All those folks protesting...what is their end goal? Do they have one? Or is the event itself the whole thing? Do any of them understand how Wall Street works or do any of them have suggestions as to how to make it work 'differently'?
Ah well. Hopefully she didn't keep her limo running while she tread among the masses before heading to the airport. What a funny world that reveres people who seem so vapid.
