[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people you mention are no more widely-known entities, only third-tier reality personalities on shows very few people watch.

President Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Hillary Clinton, Warren Buffett, Angela Merkel, Bill Gates, Fidel Castro, Kate Middleton, Beyoncé and Jay Z, Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey, Lionel Messi, Jeff Bezos, Tiger Woods, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Vladimir Putin, LeBron James, Taylor Swift, Michael Bloomberg, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ellen DeGeneres, Sergey Brin, Roger Federer, George Soros, Serena Williams, Jerry Brown, Marissa Mayer, Jamie Dimon, Carlos Slim, Shakira, Jack Ma, President Clinton, President Bush, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady, Prince William, Jerry Seinfeld, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore, Pope Francis, Malala Yousafzai, Janet Yellen, Larry Ellison, Katie Perry, Jerry Jones, Edward Snowden, Madonna, Kobe Bryant, the Kardashians (though I hate to say it, they have managed to transcend their third-rate reality show that no one watches to become part of the popular zeitgeist), etc., et al.[/quote]
1. I get that the people on your list are more widely known to the average TV viewer than the Solicitor General crew.  But what's your point?: That only people with a Q-rating higher than 10 can properly be called "celebrities"?  If so, then you're just quibbling about semantics.  Should we instead call them "notables" or "people with power in DC"?

2. I'm pretty confident Vladimir Putin and Pope Francis are not valid examples of people who might be submitting applications to private schools in DC, or anywhere in the US for that matter.  Should we include Abraham Lincoln and Mozart on the list too?[/quote]
