Gordon Gekko lives and other musings

Are you as pissed about the $18 BILLION Wall Street CEOs got in bonuses while begging the Bush administration for welfare and getting it ( I won’t even go into the sudden GOP change of heart on bailouts, that’s another rant and frankly, a lesser one)?

NBC rejects a PETA ad set to air during the Superbowl. Because vegans can’t possibly be football fans, you know.
The couple in Once had a fairy tale year last year. They fell in love, were in the best movie of 207, and won an Oscar for writing one of my favorite songs. Sadly, they have [...]

Notes On the SAG Awards

Kate Winslet looked amazing.
Meryl Streep is apparently not used to winning despite the fact she is the greatest living actress, for which I apologize calling her, since she seems clearly embarrassed when people call her that, even though she is. Just not in Doubt.
Sean Penn needs to shut up. Che? Seriously, dude? ( I am [...]

R&R- How I Met Your Mother 2-13 ” Three Days Of Snow”

After last weeks disturbing Ted story about how he kept nailing Aunt Robin, I half expected an episode that opened on the kids receiving electroshock therapy to burn the images away.
