Dumb Voters

There is a headline in today's Wall Street Journal that I find disturbing. No, it isn't about the war in Ukraine or rising inflation or the comeback of Covid or the abortion thing. It's this: "Tom Brady Becomes Most Important Person on TV." 

As a college graduate, former graphic designer at several high-profile corporations and longtime contributor to the Washington Post, here's all I know about Tom Brady: He is a football player (not sure what team), he is now about 40 years old, he recently announced his retirement but then decided to come back, and he is married to a supermodel named Giselle Bunch or something close to that. 

That's it. But this Brady guy is very important for some reason -- more important than anyone else on TV! It's funny how I can wake up each morning and get through every day despite knowing so little about the world. And still, they let me vote.
