Dear Crystal Ball

Please change your freaking name immediately. You are impossible to take seriously with that name and I really think you are a fairly bright woman.

Maybe I am wrong and that name is working out great for you but every time I see you on TV I have to get over the ridiculousness of your name before I ever hear what you have to say.

She also has Marie as a middle name. She could go by K. Marie Ball.

Sounds good to me

but she didn't name herself... and her name beats the hell out of Sippy Cupp or whatever that dimwit's name is. Krystal Ball's intelligence makes up for her awful name.

she could've changed it if she wanted to, so I bet she likes it too. It's a name you don't forget.

we get it, you're fit. And yes, that's hot.

Still, sleeves. On occasion.

14. She was named after her father's PhD thesis in physics.

Its subject was something to do with crystals and I think she was born right around that time.

THAT is her husband...

THAT is why a whole lot of good people do not get politically active.

And regardless of the puritanical BULLSHIT !!!

She still survives... and flourishes.

I just have a mental problem taking her seriously with that name.

Maybe its cause I live in Vegas and I can walk into a strip joint any time and find someone using the same name.

She deserves to be taken seriously and the name just blows it for me,but whatever I am sure with time I will get over it.

I like Krystal despite the crazy name. Intelligent and beautiful and liberal! Quite a combo.

All I am saying is it took me seeing her 5 or more times on MSNBC before I paid any attention to her whatsoever because I immediately blew her off as an idiot because of the name.

My hang up to be sure but I am quite sure I am not the only one.

After finally paying attention to her I find her to be quite bright.

I didn't realize it was her real name BTW I thought it was a stage name she had picked.
