A run down of the Oscars from last night, if you were smart enough to not watch them..
Red Carpet: A complete list of winners and losers from the Oscars..
What is not a shock is that the telecast went on for four hours… meandering itself through the evening, with Seth Macfarlane trying to introduce mostly timid jokes that the audience often scoffed and scoured at.. it was a strange opening, with a song about ‘seeing boobs’ of famous starlets.. Jodie Foster jokes here and there–along with a quip about Chris Brown beating Rihanna..
But perhaps today the story that everyone is talking about: The satirical website the ONION is actually being accused of going too far.. what made these calls of anger erupt? The ONION’s tweet calling best actress nominee (and only 9-year-old) Quvenzhané Walli a ‘cunt’.. ..
Hooray for Hollywood decadence.. served right to you in the longest meal of all time..
And in a clear sign that Hollywood has fully merged with Washington D.C., no more proof needed than the ‘surprise presentation’ from Michelle Obama .. she came on to announce the best picture award.
Does anyone else see the irony? Politics and Hollywood.. and a First Lady showing up to present an award to a movie about the CIA making fake movies to advance a political agenda.. ??
This is beyond humorous.. beyond comedy.. beyond amazing. It’s the first time that a First Lady has ever presented any award at the Academy Awards. Ben Affleck was honored that Michelle announced his victory..
ARGO won best picture..A movie about the CIA creating a fake movie with fake actors to advance a political game..
Perhaps we need a time out.
With help from Clyde Lewis and Dr. Demento.
Good morning.

But thanks to the Internet being what it is, the videos have already been mirrored and are being uploaded in other places..
We are told by experts that Americans are not eating horse meat–most likely. But who’d a thunk that folks in the great UK were devouring Mr Ed?!

Hill was the niece of a leader in the Church of Scientology.

Even more so because George Noory is not hosting..

Internal documents could rock the FBI. American media hasn’t paid much attention but UK reporters have.. The London Telegraph is reporting this:
Dating drug dealers, harassing ex-boyfriends with naked pictures, and pointing guns at pet dogs: these were just a few of the offences committed recently by serving FBI agents, according to internal documents.
Disciplinary files from the Bureau’s Office of Professional Responsibility record an extraordinary range of transgressions that reveal the chaotic personal lives of some of America’s top law enforcers.
Read the full story. Depending on your point of view, you my read it and weep..
Luckily for earth the massive sunspot that formed fast has now moved out of its position to menace our pale blue dot. But that is small comfort when you take into consideration how fast that spot formed and turned into a colossal villain. It was many times the size of earth.. Experts thought an M or X class flare would have belched from it. We are quite lucky it didn’t. However the fact it formed how it did shows we may be entering the period when we are real action on the sun, and potentially dangerous action on earth if a mega flare does emit from the ball of gas in space..
