Underdogs Need Not Apply

The Oscars certainly were a hobbit-fest last night. But more significantly, considering LOTR wasn't nominated in any acting categories, there were no upsets at all. This was about the straightest Oscars we'd had in a long time. It's the equivalent of the higher seed winning each game in the 1st Round of the NCAA tournament.

Tim Robbins was very non-political, which probably made the producers happy. Sean Penn made a slight dig at WMDs, but come on, everybody but Dick, George and Rummy have made those kind of jokes. Michael Moore got a lot of heat for his speech last year, but, in retrospect, what exactly was he wrong about?

We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president.
We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.
