"President Bush said he was 'troubled' by gay people getting married in San Francisco. He said on important issues like this the people should make the decision, not judges. Unless of course we're choosing a president, then he prefers judges." —Jay Leno

76 th Annual Academy Awards.......

Well, the Lord of the Rings-The Two Towers really cleaned up. It was nominated in 11 and went home with 11 oscars. All in all though it was a pretty average show. Billy Crystal was his usual witty self but there was no spark to it. It was funny when he said that nothing has changed much.... when he started hosting the Oscars, 13 years ago, Bush was president, the economy was in the can and we were at war with Iraq! The bright spot (for Canadians) came when Denys Arcand won the Oscar for best foreign film, "Barbarian Invasions". With the 7 second delay there was no hope for a 'wardrobe malfunction' to spice things up. I must say though, that Angelina Jolie did look smashing in her low-cut Marc Bouwer. One of the award recipients did mention the the USA was going down a 'rabbit hole' in Iraq...one hole which had been gone down before in Vietnam. Prophetic.

Dubya....

Looks like ole George Dubya is in trouble in the polls. If his popularity declines any further he is going to have to move up the capture of Osama Bin Laden! Strangely enough we aren't hearing much about the war (ATTACK) in Iraq lately. Seems that you have to search for any news on the casualties. Speaking of casualties...does anyone know how many Iraqis have died since the USA have invaded Iraq? I heard around 10,000 but that is not something that you will see on CNN.

Travels with Gary....

Looks like Gary is getting ready to move out of Arizona and to the parking lot at the Circus-Circus, Las Vegas. The city of dreams...whatever happens there, stays there ...with your money! That is not necessarily true, though because everyone you talk to there is a winner!....there are no losers in Las Vegas, just people that hesitate to gamble, and they don't hesitate for long. Oh well, there is still shopping. Lots of places to shop...for a new shirt to replace the one you lost at the craps table last night! On second thought, I don't recommend that you leave your RV at all when you get there...everything there is a tourist trap there!!!!! BEWARE the bells and whistles!

Well, better go. Keep on blogging.
