This girl is stacked with wit and wisdom.
She writes for the Jewish Journal (and there’s video!):
Birthright Britney
Some people ask me how I can possibly compare Britney to Israel, as I did in my parody of Chris Crocker’s famous Leave Britney Alone YouTube plea. Britney and Israel have a lot more in common than you think.
History
Britney grew-up Kentwood, Louisiana with an inborn ambition to perform. She appeared on Star Search when she was ten years old, then moved on to star in the New Mickey Mouse club. But she broke out on her own at age 17 with her first hit: "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Her dreams came true even before her body came into its own.
After a 2,000 year ambition to live freely on their own land, the Jewish people founded Israel in 1948. Israel fought for its existence and made it. Then in 1967 the wildest dream of the Jewish people came true: Israel conquered the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Israel was a worldwide star. Her dream came true even before its land came into its own.
Individualists
Overall (at least in their better years) Britney and Israel like to do things alone. Early on Britney gave up the chance to be in girl group because she new she needed the limelight for herself. Only until her less successful fourth album, In the Zone, when she was already on the decline, did she collaborate with artists other than Madonna or her boyfriend at the time, Justin Timberlake. She was a pop star that dwelled alone.
