Many MVPs are a lot like Rev. Al Sharpton. A lot of bluster, little
anything else. While pretending to be a man of God, big Al's bio shows
he actually was a tour manager for the singer James Brown, is tight
with Michael Jackson and he worked with the boxing promoter Don King.
Why does he call himself a reverend? Sharpton was "licensed" and
"ordained" a Pentecostal minister at the age of nine.
Some MVPs love to boast and bellow too, they come up way short on
background. There are a few exceptions in the group of MVPs that hang
out here, that try to help but the majority are well, figure it out
for yourself. Other groups are more lucky and have more MVPs that
actually know something and aren't preoccupied with pontificating.
So honorary titles are what they suggest: useless. My summation is not
aimed at any particular MVP, who it applies to people can figure out
for themselves.
LOL!
