NASCAR vs Hollywood

Best line in the story.

At the Oscars, there will be music, but it will not be set to Francis Scott Key’s immortal words. Instead, the hours-long show is likely to be a hate-fest from a bunch of millionaire dilettantes who can’t understand how Donald Trump (one of their own, really, while he hosted Celebrity Apprentice) could have defeated the anointed pants-suited one they fully expected to be worshipping in their speeches.

The Oscars? Are they relevant anymore? Have they ever been?

They're almost as bad as the Olympics.

Have they ever been? Maybe in the past . . . after all, they USED to be awarded to movies that a lot of people actually went to see . . .

Many of you have probably read it before, but here's an opinion piece which I believe accurately sums up how a lot of people regard Hollyweird types:

It's interesting that a local media/movie commentator on the AM news remarked that there was very little Trump-bashing at the ceremony. ( I didn't watch it myself --never do, in fact.)

So is it possible that it's finally getting into their fluffy little make-believe brains that the election process actually worked as intended in this past Presidential election?

Hmmm.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
