Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

Just now, I read with quiet pride the story of Pat Tillman, who gave up a highly paid career as a professional football player with the Cardinals of the NFL ("War & Remembrance," Feb. 24, 2003). Instead, he joined the U.S. Army Rangers, along with his brother Kevin, and is proudly serving his country.

I think it would be appropriate if Michael Moore turned his back on his Hollywood career and joined Iraq's Republican Guard.

Michael Moore's next film should be "Bowling for Unemployment Checks." After his shameful rant at the Oscars, we can only hope that, in the future, we see a lot less of Moore.

I find it interesting that Tim Robbins threatened Washington Post reporter Lloyd Grove by saying if that he writes about his family again he would "hunt him down."

Since Robbins is so loudly anti-violence, what does he intend by this threat - does he mean to talk poor Lloyd to death?

With crocodile tears and cheap shots at the administration, these pampered egomaniacs displayed again their hypocrisy by giving us their unwanted opinions. People watching the Oscars watched for the sake of art, not politics.

Let Hollywood be in the world of make-believe (their profession) and stay out of reality, something they don't seem to have a grasp on.

Susan Sarandon and Barbra Streisand had to keep their mouths partly shut as they knew better - they could sense the negative vibes from the audience after Moore's nonsensical tirade.

Regardless of what anyone chooses to think, we live in a country that has always been very well-defended. And those in Hollywood would not be able to speak freely if they did not live in a country of the well-defended.

Our job is to support the troops who are laying their lives on the line for freedom for all people. We owe them that. Whatever our personal opinion, it is irrelevant to their sacrifice.

The Hollywood elite seem to know more about life than the rest of us mere mortals. At the Academy Awards, I watched our commander-in-chief get insulted and a child molester get a standing ovation. These are the individuals, whose every word we seem to hang on?
