I just wanted to point out that we are SURROUNDED by morons and idiots, in case anyone had any doubts.

Yes we are, Drudge included.

While the economy tanks and scandal whirls around 0bama and friends, Drudge’s headline today is of the exact “awards” of which you speak.

Unbelievable. And who cares about movies and the “stars” therein?

Bread and circuses.

The Oscars and Golden Globes were major news when Reagan, Bush and Bush II were elected as well. Fascination with Hollywood is nothing new ... and doesn’t really have any bearing on elections.

When The Golden Globe nominations are major news...

...you should ask yourself, "what are they trying to distract me from?"

Is there any surprise when more adults vote on American Idol than for President and can’t even pass a simple civics test?

Shoot! Fox News devoted gobs of time to cover a press conference of a lottery-winning team from some factory. Lotteries are for suckers but this press conference went on all during the time I sat in Subway eating lunch. Forget the hard news!

Entertainment news isn't news at all, i.e. it really isn't that important in the big scheme of things. Yes, it is a billion-dollar industry and employs a lot of people. So, in the business sense it has some importance. But as to what actually is produced in Hollywood, most of it is worthless crap that is has no real effect on the lives of most people outside the industry. Maybe we need our diversions.

I am kinda curious about Oscars/Golden Globes, I want good movies to get the nominations and walk off with the awards. Just because the world is going to hell in a hand basket, doesn’t mean that there is not more to life than politics.
