Inside Job Cheats Oprah Of Cheese Eating Moment

Inside Job transcended the infantile proclivities of Chicago Voters who elected Raum as Mayor and deprived the Chosen One's King Maker of her gloating gravy train ride.

Instead of indulging Queen of Talk to knight Binksey for his property-defacing "art" as she most certainly expected she'd be doing, The Academy Majority saw the true business value of this Charles Ferguson inspired work and rejected without comment, the continuing effort of the Chicago Mob to sweep this scandal under the rug.  No Doubt.  Hollywood's Rich people know how they achieved their status, and are only a small part of the greater Membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Community of Professionals.  To a Sound Man, the suggestion that a costume designer can step into his booth and produce award-winning tracks without bottom-up training is at least as insulting as the notion that a politician with Obama's resume could out-perform the Partnership of Bill & Hillary Clinton or, for that matter, Todd & Sarah Palin.  Substance, not Fatuous Rush, is the stuff the Accomplished are made of.

How could a reasoning American expect from the Candidate in the 2008 Primary, who raked in more Wall Street Contributions than his next three contenders combined, anything less than complicity from Barak Obama?

Born the Grandson of a Banker, Madelyn Lee Dunham's bottomless checkbook was the beginning of a life of self-indulgence for the "Privacy Freak" who leads minions who "Want it ALL and who Want It Right NOW!  Work for it?  Scoff at those drones while milking every contemptful assertion of a "Broken" System and play your way into the Office while you haven't any handle on the Job.  Inside?  I think the deployment of the "insider" cultural music and rap of the Obama Nation was the Exclusive tactic of the corrupt noveau-riche who allowed him to do their bidding.  A Fool leading the Children's Crusade has not yet discerned that the "guts" of the system he disrespects has been wisely removed to a performing platform in an alternative universe he has neither the skills nor the character to uncover.  He is "satisfied" with the kind of "power" Oprah can deliver.  The Academy has communicated to Oprah that her work is done here.  In THIS economy; solid work, not seat-of-the-pants graffiti, is what the hungry seek.  Thanks for coming, though, and demonstrating - as you ALWAYS do -  that money can't buy taste.  And isn't that what wealth and the Academy are all about?

I plan to acquire a copy of Inside Job and start showing it at house parties, in the tradition of An Inconvenient Truth, GasLand, and WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price.

I'm Catching Up With the "With Its"

What's Cooler than contemporary twist on timeless Truth?



The internet has so impacted everything, that despair over the economy is "beneath my paygrade." That's the only thing the "Government can do for me: Hire somebody to fret about that for me, would you?" All those Economic Advisors, Czars and lame ducks: "It's still the Economy, Stupid." Google It - then get out in the streets of Main Street, USA and try to figure out what's happening? Then, get online, do something like book a flight (yourself - no travel agent, no secretary) order gifts and send invitations, announcements, find friends and zero in on a satellite view of your destination prior to setting out with your GPS. Make a payment and KNOW it was received, check your bank balance, look at the weather map, price the new appliance you need to buy and "design" your new car, order it and arrange the financing... What's "happening" is infinitely beyond our ability to assess.

Long live the new Democratic Party: wise and wary, we go forward with a new understanding of how all of us came to find ourselves under this big tent together. In our DNA lurks the common gene (blue) with insistence on Open. We can't play @ Politics so obsessively without the inevitable discoveries. A teachable moment for one is a paradigm shift for another brought about by a quiet epiphany. We arrive at the year's end, wrapping it up. Let's toast, laugh and enjoy our lives. Approaching the "manger" from such new-fangled angles doesn't change the message of Christmas: Peace on Earth, Good Will towards Men."

Logging on and layering over the tracks permit new opportunities worth pursuit once we observe this special time that comes at the end of each frenetic year. Before we do that, we want to take a gander at the scheduled lunar eclipse tomorrow morning. The Winter Solstice - notorious stand-alone December Calendar item, has graciously yielded its shadow to provide penumbra to Full Moon. Aquarians know to collect data for study, dissection and otherwise absorbing speculation for the next 94 years until they are scheduled to meet again.
