Wow! I've never seen so much alliteration in one place:
the tsunami of BS surrounding this fornication festival of preening plutocrats grows higher and sweeps across our land with more devastation every year. Think of it as a Katrina of Cornpone.

Having proven itself to be politically impotent in the last two national elections, Hollywood still likes to strut its stuff when it comes to the realm where it is still pre-eminent -- pretending. And like all other industries that deal in the lower pleasures, they are very good at pushing their product.



He pretty well devastates narcissist admirations, doesn't he?

Actually i learned a little bit from that song. Was so utopian, it made me realize that before we could ever reach nirvana we had to make the world we live in a better place. And for me that starts with capitalism not socialism. If 500 years from now, we live in a world of abundance, not scarcity and at peace, then we may have a shot at that dream. I dont think Lennon meant to unilaterally throw it all away for his utopia unless and until the bad guys did first. Its like the jews waiting for the messiah that never comes. We keep hoping.

What in the name of all that's serious does John Lennon's "Imagine" have to do with last night's Oscars? Other than the fact that the writer doesn't like either, I mean?
