OSCAR OBSERVATIONS

I haven't seen any of the movies yet, so this is about the show. I don't do movie theaters; I don't like hanging out with a bunch of strangers in dark rooms. Not really, but I've just never been fond of theaters. I much prefer to watch movies in my living room.

• Jon Stewart is really funny.
• Javier Bardem is very good looking when relieved of the bad hair. Although, I think that they borrowed a wig from Gene Simmons.
• The Coen brothers are just fucking awesome.
• Cameron Diaz needs a good stylist. That poof on the back of her dress looked like a tote-along poop bag.

BABIES GOING TO SCHOOL?

This falls squarely into my I Don't Get It category. I randomly stumbled on one of those completely annoying family blogs; the Perfect Family with the Perfect Toddler Doing Oh-So-Perfect Things, and Look At Our Pictures of Our Perfect Selves type. This particular Perfect Family had a little boy about 18 months old, and almost every post was about a CLASS that the little angel was going to. WTF? Classes? For an 18 month old? Gymnastics class, music class, enrichment class, etc. I guess I missed it. That moment in time when children's imaginations and natural curiosity went away and had to be replaced with structured learning before the age of two. Now, if anyone bothered to send their children to classes to learn the proper use of English I might get it, since so many young adults these days seem to have completely missed those lessons in school and are probably raising children to say things like “Seventeen building permits has been issued...” (As uttered by Kimberly Hunt on Channel 10 news.)

SPEAKING OF LANGUAGE MANGLERS....

The usual suspects posting on the UT forums:

“Food is good here but to bland. I find it hard to find anything exceptional. SF had China town. East coast has good everything. We are so middle of the road. If anyone knows a really really good Chinese place that let me know.” That what?

Stingaree is also losing business because of the Ivy Hotel and the new Hard Rock Hotel have gave people other (and better) options. Like the person above said, the restaurant with value and reputation will all survive. They have before. And we all know whcih restaurants those are. Relsucks obviously doesn't know which one those are.

I don't know how most of these owners that don't sell any alcohol make any money? Food costs are soaring wages and workers comp is outragous I can not see how on a small margin they can keep the doors open. I love the Cohen group in San Diego, clean and moderate price. Most major chains bring the food prepared in each day and sell as made in back! Wrong! All soups and ribs are made else where. Support the local chains first they keep us well fed let's feed them back by support. Eat out less and eat better when eating out! Who stole all the commas? Please join me in mourning the death of the adverb.

its shameful to see you people change this story into something else. you want to hate america and what it stands for, then by all means do it in the right forum. if the article actually talked about political issues than i can see you going on your rampage. I have a feeling that they are making keyboards that are completely missing a shift key.

“dandre77, this is a story about meant (It was about meat.)- not politics. Please keep your ill-thought, rediculous "Lineral vs conservative" and "Nazi" propogranda to yourself. Day after day you have to poison these blogs with your rants regurgitating directly from Rush Limbaugh in any story you can find
You come across as a lonely, bitter, ignorant individual” And YOU come across as an uneducated moron. Which is worse? And, it's a FORUM, not a blog.

“Maybe you three can have some alternate "anti-Hollywood" gala at one of your trailors?
Perhaps it could be a black-overalls even with only the finest domestic beer and some cheese-doodles or pork-rinds to round out the gala?
Maybe one of you can pretend to be MCing the Oscars and you can do anti-liberal jokes while you honor Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'relliy whole smashing beer cans on your head?” Well, they may be trailer trash, but I'd bet that they can at least SPELL it right.

However, the real change - the kind (apparently someone stole the "of" and put it with all the commas) change that might actually do something to prevent or slow global warming along with the many other major environmental crisis's we currently face can only come from the politicians and big business who control the major policy changes that would allow for such things as increased funding for solar power and decreased fossil fueled energy sources, alternative fuels or significantly reduced carbon emissions from cars, laws such a banning plastic bag use and other wasteful plastic packaging - the list goes on and on. And so do your sentences!
