Seen on a bumper sticker on my walk to work this morning:
"Nixon Is No Longer the Worst President in History."
So, I've recovered from my extended George Clooney drool-fest Oscar-watching festivities, during which two friends (one of whom insisted I mention him more on my blog, but not by name... HUH?) and I finished a bottle of Beaujolais, minus the approximately one glassful of which was spilled by nameless friend's better half during our Thai food feast while Lauren Bacall was blithering on about something or other and trying to pretend she's not still bitter about not winning that year she played Barbra Streisand's mom in that horrid movie with Jeff Bridges that I saw with my aunt and cousin in a theatre on Long Island.
There. That should win me the run-on sentence of the year award, dammit.

anyway, yep.. george clooney fest is right. YUM. i loved my boy jon stewart as much as ever.
and i thought the whole robert altman gig was priceless too.
how can you not love an oscar show where "it's hard out here for a pimp" wins best original song!?
Posted by: Aviva at March 14, 2006 08:27 PMMy favorite part of the Oscars was after the socially conscious montage of Hollywood films dealing with "important issues".
Cut to Jon Stewart:"and none of these issues was ever heard from again".
Stewart did a great job puncturing Hollywood pretention and pomposity throughout the night.
