This is reality show tv at its ultimate worst, since the very people being "awarded" spend the bulk of their time assuming other characters in the "art" of pretending. Not only do they pretend to know what entertainment is good but they also pretend to know what is politically good. I now understand why "entertainment" people hate the GOP so much. Hollywood and Broadway are filled with so many self-hating, American success haters that they use the GOP to vent their values of hatred on. Obama, Pelosi, Reed, Schumer are all flawless because they too are self-hating, haters of America and success. Trump, Buffet, Romney are all the General Bullmooses of America because their love of country and magnificent success is to be torn down and hated. Listen to the quiet roar of the tsunmai that is building in what used to be called the silent majority. Every time the beast of hatred rears its ugly head in this country "God fearing Americans who embrace their guns and bibles" put it back in its cage. Embrace the hatred people. Or Embrace the love.

Not because I think <i>Brokeback Mountain</i> or <i>Doctor Zhivago</i> should have won an Academy Award for Best Picture, but to provide this post with something severely lacking throughout the entire 2012 Republican primaries: a difference of opinion.<br /><br />However, please let there be no misunderstandings; my opinion of the Golden Globes remains indifferent. Besides, as good as Romney was in <i>The Descendant</i> last year, he was even better in <i>Horrible Bosses</i> and <i>Transformers</i>.Jacopohttp://www.cracked.com/members/Jacopo/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216011953770444735.post-80162886972115737892012-01-17T07:49:12.612-05:002012-01-17T07:49:12.612-05:00Good lord, is 2012 over yet?

I really can't imagine anyone looks forward to election years, exception being if you're one of the very special rhetoric-spewing pundits that make oodles of bucks from telling the public their way is the only right way, and have star-struck brain-washed political junkies following them like lemmings jumping into the chasm.<br /><br />As for Hollyweird, why should we even care? You are spot on, Mr. Fox when you liken both fantasy lands to Oz. Sadly, there aren't even any flying monkeys to entertain us.<br /><br />Dang.
