Bob Hope never won an Oscar, but was a giant in comedy and selflessness in going overseas and entertaining our troops year in and year out! When the entertainment industry failed to honor this man, I realized they were beyond their own pathetic world. Maybe Fox will show the Passion of the Christ!

I wrote an letter to the Editor of the Seattle Times on just that, Back when Michael Moore was spouting off at the awards. My letter made letter of the week. It was about how many of the Stars and entertainers of the 1940's put careers on hold to serve the war effort in one capacity or another. Some loosing their lives doing do, like Glenn Miller and Carole Lombard.

I was saddened that the passing of Bob Hope went almost unnoticed. A small tribute on the evening news was about all he got.
