Sean Penn Thanks All Of The "Commie Homo-Lovin' Sons Of Guns " For His Oscar!

Sean Penn was very gracious in his acceptance speech tonight.He acknowledged Micky Rourke's roaring comeback.Sean Penn even admitted that he wasn't a very likeable person,which has probably stopped him from getting it in the past.But,tonight wasn't just about who would get the "Best Actor" award.The fact that Sean Penn won an Oscar for playing a gay man in "Milk" not long after Prop. 8 passed isn't going to be lost on anyone.Especially since Sean Penn addressed the issue in his speech.He basically said that he hopes that people who don't support gay marriage will change their minds.I don't think they will.People are already griping about the Academy Awards being too political.Some folks would have been much happier if Mickey Rourke would have won.Whether it was politics are not,they both turned out some damn fine performances.Therefore,they both deserved an Oscar!

Slumdog Millionaire Wins Best Picture At The Oscars!

One of my favorite films won "Best Picture" tonight at the Oscars!I'm so happy for all of those who were involved in "Slumdog Millionaire" because they received the recognition that they deserve.There was some very fine directing & acting in this movie.But,not everyone enjoyed the film,as the report in this video shows.There are protests going on at the Oscars because some Indians feel that this movie misrepresents their community.And they are very angry at the director,Danny Boyle.

Pat Buchanan Uses Statistics To Back Up His Racist Rhetoric!

I didn't expect anything less from Pat Buchanan.He served under President Nixon & Mr. Buchanan still carries those antiquated views towards race into the 21st century.During a debate over what Eric Holder said about race,he told Dr. Michael Dyson that he needs to worry about his "own" community instead of blaming the white race,which Dr.Michael Dyson was not doing!

This segment of Hardball really pointed out just how correct Eric Holder is.It demonstrates how intense discussions about race usually gets between blacks & whites.Pat Buchanan is being disingenious when he starts using statistics to make his points.Any educated person knows that statistics should be taken with a grain of salt.Why did Pat Buchanan throw out these numbers in the first place?Well,he wanted to divert attention away from the subject.Pat Buchanan hurled a bunch of insults at an entire race of people when he should have just debated Dr.Michael Dyson.

And poor Michael Dyson kept getting cut off due to "technical difficulties"!I guess they didn't want him to get his point across.They should have cut Pat Buchanan's mike off.Because his racist ramblings made him look a bit senile.It's 2009 not 1969!!!!!
