Oscar baloney

The usual Hollywood claptrap over the Oscars was on the front page of the daily, above the fold, so it didn’t just seep into consciousness when I gathered the thing off the lawn. I left it on the kitchen table for Mrs. C. and that’s when it whacked me between the eyes. Even though I didn’t read it.

I did read Roger L. Simon’s prediction that the winners forecast some sort of decline of the Sean Penns, Michael Moores, and other Lefty dirtballs who think there’s a premium on their political views. I wonder. I found more certainty in commenter cedarhill’s take:

“Funny thing, once you wean yourself off their TV shows, movies and newspapers they’re just not attractive and seem really, really simple and stupid. Try it. You’ll like freedom from Hollywood. Oh, and if you are compelled to watch something from them, make sure you pick it up on eBay or at a flea market or Goodwill or such. Let the Left support them.”

Indeed.

Hollyweird’s awards

The movies were depressing, with their usual nihilism. No wonder fewer watch the Oscars every year, and ticket buyers dwindle–though, in truth, you wouldn’t know it from all the attention the blogosphere gave and gave and gave the show. But movies are supposed to touch the heart, not merely the political affiliation. I’m filing this one under obituaries because these lefty varmints are killing themselves. Not that I care, mind you.

UPDATE:  Lowest viewership in history. Still, thirty-two million means the bottom hasn’t been reached yet.
