The 80th Oscars: Whoop De Doo

I watched the Oscars tonight. Didn't have much of a choice with my Mom here. Is it just me, or are these Hollywood "glitterati" more irrelevant than ever? There was so much self importance in the room, yet so little importance in the real world. I realize that the masses, whose lives seem to revolve around Britney Spears, will be absolutely enthralled with this show but beyond those IQ/Life challenged folks, is there any real interest anymore?

Al Gore: Eco-Messiah or Eco-Hypocrite?

In his typical brilliant fashion, Mark Steyn illuminates the truth behind Mr. Eco-Friendly himself, Al Gore in this article. While reading it, think back to Leonardo's di Caprio's proclamation that "this year's Oscars have gone Green". Everyone in the audience did . . . exactly nothing and yet they've apparently gone green. Talk about trying to pull the [environmentally friendly organic] wool over our eyes!

If you're Canadian and reading this, remember Steyn's article when Stephane Dion is giving us his next lecture about what we need to do to be more green. I'd love to see his energy consumption bill!
