Oscar's Green…

I’m glad I started watching The Daily Show because, one, it’s funny, two, I learn about current events and the correct way to say ‘Putin,’ and three, they’re pretty spot on on some of their critiques. To wit, in reference to Al Gore’s presence at the Oscars and the announcement that the Oscars had ‘gone green,’ the first thought through my head was, "The Oscars! Green! Pshaw! Hollywood is the most conspicuous consumer America’s ever produced." And then I watched The Daily Show after that and what did they make fun of (aside from Jon Stewart’s hosting last year)? The discord between ‘going green’ and Hollywood’s conspicuous consumption. Maybe I should have a hosting gig. (We now interrupt this blog to bring you Hoodia, the Diet Pill of the Stars, which can make you thinner, younger, prettier, more conspicuous through less weightiness, and even cause you to turn green…). And now back to your regularly scheduled blog. Then the news came out about Al Gore’s heating bill. When will the madness stop?
