Since most of them are a bunch of self-absorbed a-holes and all.

Plug One just thanked me for being a fan/supporter (De La Soul was the first hip-hop tape I ever bought). Clinton was tweeting about how he wanted to replace all the Burger Kings with some fancy-pants sandwich shop. I made some comment about how not everyone can afford it. And he was all "for just a few dollars more, you can have fresh organic ingredients..." And I went off about how not everyone HAS a few extra dollars. A few dollars for me is LAUNDRY. I told him that for the price of one of those sandwiches, I can make myself PB&J for a week. Some of us gotta do what we gotta do. He never responded to that, so I consider it a win. I think it's very easy for the rich/famous to be all judgemental when they HAVE the money to live better than us.

They are more likely to respond and seem more accessable. I tweeted once to Alyson Hannigan with no response. But I do have my own "famous people' column on Tweetdeck.
