Sheldon Greenbriar live blogs the Oscars
Sheldon has agreed to put aside his feud with Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch and live blog the remainder of the telecast via Twitter.
Oscars stupidest decisions (acting)
(post-1970; check out the most egregious directing and writing snubs. Return tomorrow for the worst “Best Picture” winners.) SUPPORTING ACTORS *Madeline Kahn, 1974, Lili Von Shtupp in “Blazing Saddles.” She lost to Ingrid Bergman for “Murder on the Orient Express.” Great comedians usually get jobbed — very tiring. *Piper Laurie, 1976, Margaret White in “Carrie.” [...]
Coming soon to the Hell Cineplex
Topher Grace (who couldn’t win me over if he saved my life) + formula romantic comedy = Who comes up with this shit?
‘They made the world’s largest pizza, so we burned down their city hall’
Over the past few years right-wing radio, in a seemingly coordinated effort, has cast George Soros as the Great Satan. I’m not sure how, or why, he became Public Enemy No. 1, but to conspiracy-minded conservatives he’s the puppet master of the shadowy Marxist underground plotting to take over the world.

Palin relayed the first one in an email to Bailey: “Dear [...]

Fox, feathers in mouth, still trusted with henhouse
How feckless is the United Nations? Libya’s seat on the U.N.’s top human rights body looks secure for now, as a Western-led initiative to condemn it for its violent response to anti-government protests stops short of calling for its expulsion.
About that blood money, Beyonce (and Usher, and Mariah Carey …)
Glad to see Anderson Cooper holding greedy celebrities accountable for accepting millions to perform for Gadaffi’s son. Better watch it, Anderson: Russell Simmons, who, in 2010, attended junior’s birthday party in St. Barts, might accuse you of Islamophobia.
The fierce urgency of next week
The president today sounded as if he was discussing a pick-up basketball game with Jim Nantz — totally uninspired. He didn’t even mention Gaddafi by name and, unlike Angela Merkel, Obama wouldn’t commit to possible sanctions against the crumbling regime. Oh, but he’s sending Hillary Clinton to Geneva. On Monday. Libyans took note. “The Libyan [...]
