I am not watching the Oscars tonight! I have not seen any of the movies up for any award, I cannot stand the Rivers women, and Mizrahi, so there! I usually try to see the bit where they show pictures of the movie people who have died the past year, but this time I will miss it too. A few years ago during the dead actor segment they showed a picture of John Derek; total silence from the audience. I guess he was that unpopular and/or despised.
OBL's number #2 has a new video out ranting about the West and Jews and Bush and the Mohammed cartoons et al. From a little bit I read once of one of the main surrahs in the Koran Muslims are supposed to make some effort to convert infidels they come in contact with, and if the infidels do not become converts to the True Faith they can be killed, because they rejected the Word. A lot of Islamic nastiness toward unbelievers was also once a part of Christianity during the pre-death- of- Hitler millennia. OK, you can have at me on that statement, but that is something I hold to.
I got around to watching Groundhog Day on DVD Saturday night. Bill Murray was great in it, but the movie was a little too cute and clever for its own good, especially the happy ending. American Spectator a few months ago had an article on how Grounhog Day is a favorite movie of intellectuals, who like to analyze its inner philosophical meanings.
If Bush had ordered everyone in New Orleans to get out of town before Katrina hit, and all those cars and buses had got hit by the winds while on the roads would he have been blamed for all the deaths. When everyone was ordered out of Houston many of the cars ran out of gas and one side of the freeways was not used for at least a day. What would the New Orleans evacuation have been like if a lot of people tried to use the Lake Ponch. bridge going east, or headed south into Plaqueman parish, which got smashed badly?
I have lots of things I would like to ponder upon (split infinitives all over the place tonight), but I need to do more research into the news. So, this will be all for right now. I will try to blog more for my many fans and devotees in the future. S0, Di di mau! for now.
( Here is a later posting; Crash has won the Best Picture Oscar Award, whupping Brokendown Mountain! Not to worry though; BMt. is due out on DVD this Tuesday. A film of the way people behave in the checkout line at WalMart with their copies of the thing might be interesting to view, as a study of human behavior. Allan Funt, where are you when we need you?)
(To bring us back to Reality--NewsMax has a piece reporting that Iranian leaders are saying that they plan to unveil their nuke on April 8!)
