Courage Has New Meaning

I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and heard an excerpt of an interview with Paris Hilton. She was a surprise guest at the MTV Movie Awards and worked her way around the red carpet. I don't know the name of the idiot who was interviewing her but she had the unmitigated gall to tell Paris Hilton that she was so courageous to come to the awards. I don't know about you, but courageous is not one of the words that enters my mind when an attention seeking slut bag shows up at an awards show full of other attention seeking slut bags. I am apparently misguided. According to Dictionary.com the definition of courage is "the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain etc. without fear; bravery". It seems to me that this word would best describe a policeman or fireman or soldier who face danger in the true sense of the word everyday. And they don't get their picture plastered all over every news site, magazine or tabloid. And they don't make millions doing their job. These are the people who are courageous. Not some no talent, big sunglass wearing tramp. And the same goes for these left wing Hollywood types who think that it's courageous for a straight man to play a homosexual in a major motion picture. Well NEWS FLASH! It has nothing to do with courage. You don't have to be brave to work for a few months and collect five million dollars. You don't even need to have any talent. Apparently you just have to be in the right place at the right time and all of a sudden you are some terrific actor who takes on these "courageous" roles because he truly loves his craft. Bull Crap. They love the money and that takes no courage at all. Not only is Mama not happy, she's starting to get pissed.
