No!!
Amazing, we did make it through the entire Oscar TV night. Good to know the Red Carpet pre show is as inane as always. What was with one of the interviewers, specifically the guy wearing a full length gown! Most of us are unfamiliar with the volume of make-up artists, set designers, etc who command most of the show’s time. Certainly they deserve recognition but they do provide ample opportunity for bathroom breaks and naps. Ray Romano was bleeped for his remark concerning being in the cast of “The Irishman”. “I would just sit there and be amazed,” Romano said. “And then Pesci would come in and say, ‘Get the **** outta my chair”. Needless remark, and by the way, Ray, lose the scraggly beard. .Following Romano’s performance, it’s just possible that not “Everybody Loves Raymond”.
Glad to see Elton John and Brad Pitt were winners. Worthwhile was the three hour wait to watch Renee’ Zelweggar take the Oscar for her splendid performance in “Judy”.
Quote of the week? When a student asked Joe Biden why he did so badly in the Iowa caucuses, he answered, “You ever been to a caucus? When the questioner answered “Yes”, Biden said “No, you haven’t, you’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier”. How’s that, again?
It’s said that there is a 50% increase in cases of traumatic brain injury as a result of that Iranian missile attack on U.S forces in January. There are some 100 cases of TBI now reported as opposed to the previous 64. We can recall the White House stating that there were “no serious injuries” sustained by our troops. So much for accuracy and truth.
Chaim Bloom, Chief of Baseball Operations for the Red Sox, has had an active few first months. He had to dismiss manager Alex Cora because of the cheating scandal, traded the team’s best and most popular player Mookie Betts plus trading one of the Sox’ best starters David Price. Bloom might now be wondering about his taking the job.
Quote #2 of the week: Originating in a Trump tweet: “A very bad night for Mini Mike”. Yet another attack, this one on Mayor Mike Bloomberg. Mr. Non-Accuracy was referring to the New Hampshire Democratic Primary results. Big problem, Bloomberg wasn’t even on the ballot.
By the way, what happened to Joe Biden?
