The good news about the Oscars was the low ratings.

Leno got off a good line about Michael Moore last night. He said he mad about being booed. He hadn't been that mad since being charged for two seats on Southwest Airlines.

Message to the architects who designed the Kodak Theater: the doors are too narrow to allow passage of the swelled heads of Hollywood.

Impassioned demonstrators outside the Oscar ceremony waved American flags and carried signs declaring "Support Our Troops" and "Impeach Sheen."

"the mounting backlash to celebrity leftists raises the possibility of permanent damage to Hollywood's standing."

One can hope.

Well, I'm one of those folks who always watch, but I sure didn't this time. My only regret is that while visiting my Mom I managed (unfortunately) to catch the part with Sarandon, Streisand, & Brody. Gag, gag, & gag!

I think Steve Martin's remarks were for the Troops....

And Brody did mention his friened in the military...

Bring back Bob Hope!

I was happy to hear the host of American Idol on Fox last night open the show by pointing out that our troops are the real American Idols. Excellent point. Could it be that Hollywood "stars" are jealous of the troops, the real American stars?

On Oscar night, the contrast between our struggling troops in Iraq and the stars who wouldn't support their efforts proved too glaring to ignore--or forget.

I know I won't!

If you remember post September 11th the Oscars held a moment of silence for the victims of the World Trade Center attacks but left out the Pentagon, Pennsylvania, and the men and women fighting in Afghanistan. Their ceremony was par for the course.

The new line from some of the "anti-war" protesters is "we support our troops, that's why we want to bring them home now!" Most of what could be construed as supportive sentiments at the Oscars sounded like this.

I was actually surprised at how many of the limo riders flashed the "peace" sign. They really believe we'll still love them.

Nicole Kidman said "even in war, art goes on," or some such.

Art means selling pictures of her body in various stages of undress to adolescents (the number one demographic for Hollywood.)

p.s. Truth in advertising alert - I admit, although hardly an adolescent, I thought she looked great in that body suit in "Eyes Wide Shut." Hey Nicole, keep the art coming! It beats the hell out of your politics.
