We, as The Guild, did not support an Oscar thread last night. With the events of the day, we did not feel that it was appropriate to watch the anti-American show and encouraged everyone to spend the time in prayer and thoughtful reflection of our troops and freedoms.

We were disappointed that a thread was started in our name, and our warrior, Endeavor, was successfull in getting the attribution removed.

I was very disgusted that Roman Polanski would not only win an Oscar, but would get a standing ovation. The Oscars didn't support the freedom of Iraqi's, but it does support a Pedophile Rapist who flees the country to avoid prison.

I did see the Michael Moore acceptance speech, and posted the transcript. Naturally the thread was deleted. Luckily, at least 5 others were started to take it's place, and remain to this day.

There must be a hidden bullseye with Guild threads that we can't see.

I was so happy to hear that Micheal Moore was booed at the Oscars last night. And the orchestra played over his last sentence or two. I also did see the very end while I was waiting for the news to start, and appreciated Steve Martin's comments about supporting the troops. His comments brought a lot of cheers.

I just took the weekend off, too much sensory overload and emotional overload. Got my brain back in gear, and I'm ready to go for another week.

That's terrific. :) Has anyone seen the ratings? I hope they were abysmal.
