Hollywood's priorities

"One, two, three, four, we don't want your ratings-stealing, tv-audience-diverting war!" So sayeth the Oscar organizers. To think that people might be glued to the news channels showing real-live conflict instead of watching Hollywood actors wearing thousand-dollar outfits making their anti-America-and-the troops antiwar speeches. Oh, the humanity!

Would this be why the initial war operation is code named Envelope Please? (Just a rumor I want to start.)

Wow. Do you suppose one of the factors in W's sceduling of the beginning of the war is the date of the Oscars?

I'm sure it's not, but I wish it were. I'd be impressed.

I bet Michael Moore thinks this is all part of a plot to divert attention from his winning an Oscar for Bowling for Columbine.

I like Paul's suggestion. It'd be his way of telling Clinton, "Wag this."

Not that Clinton ever needed prompting...
