Why Political Oscar Speeches Stink

I have a very good solution to the problem of pontificating actors at awards ceremonies on tv. I never watch them.

I think the relative intelligence of actors is the same as any group. You have some who are highly intelligent and you have some who are dumber then a box of hammers. What I think they both need to remember is that what they do is subjective.

What I may perceive is most likely different then what another perceives. I love to read, but I always hated Lit class. Let me explain. I want to read and embrace a book from my perspective. I don't care to hear what "it actually" meant until I have had time to digest it myself.

“The people who hated “You lie” at an Obama State of the Union speech never saw this as heckling.”

The “you lie” remark was heckling. Mikey Moore was hectoring.

I don’t either. Being lectured at by new age imbeciles is not my idea of a good time.

Best ever quote about the Oscars was from West Wing and I agree wholeheartedly:

C.J.: They sent me two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.

Bartlet: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.
