When he tryin to get this money for the rent
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent
Because a whole lot of bitches talkin shit
Will have a whole lot of bitches talkin shit”
Move over Cole Porter!
Sympathy for pimps, yes--but homos on the range? Forgetaboutit....
You know, it's hard out here for a dyke
When she tryin to get this money for her life
For the Forester and dog biscuits spent
Because a whole lot of (Hollywood) homophobes talkin shit
Will have a whole lot of homophobes talkin shit
Yeah, I know--don't quit your day or night jobs (not to worry).
One last thing on the Oscars--from what I've been reading, it appears a lot of members of the Academy don't see all the films in contention. Does that strike anyone else as dereliction of duty to the nth degree? I feel less than legit filling out an Academy Awards ballot at a friend's house when I haven't seen every film--how do these people live with themselves? It's like a skating judge at the Olympics rating skaters he hasn't seen--isn't it?
In a twisted sort of way, this fact makes the losses by "Brokeback" and Felicity Huffman that much easier to take--it wasn't a fair fight, not by a long shot. Really--the more I learn about the "Academy" the less the value the Oscars have. A pity, that.
Last night, we saw "Syriana," the film that got George Clooney his Oscar. It's a depressing, depressing film, but only because it speaks to a truth that most Americans are oblivious to--the whole damn world is at the mercy of major corporations, with nations and their leaders mere pawns in corporate power and resource grabs. News Flash: The world is run by greedy bastards.
(Like you didn't already know that.)
You know, it's hard out here for a liberal....
