Well, there are times where I think that Elisabeth is just a moron, but there are sometimes where I think she does have something valid to say. I just watched something on youtube where they were talking about evolution. The title of the video was "Elisabeth Attacks Evolution" and in the video the ladies were dicussing how George W. Bush said that people can believe in God and evolution. Elisabeth said that she agreed with it and her and Whoopi and Sherri all said that they really don't contradict one another, but nowhere in the video did she say that evolution should be taken out of schools, that she didn't believe in it, or that man killed the dinosaurs. So my point is that she can say some pretty bizarre things but part of the reason why people hate her is because she simply has an opinion that differs from most people. She is educated and is not afraid of voicing her thoughts.

I'll definitely check out your musical referral. I just downloaded off of iTunes some songs off of Lily Allen's new album "It's Not Me, It's You" and I have to say that I really do like her. Her public image is much larger than her musical image so it is easy to forget that she has some really great, witty and catchy songs. The songs that I downloaded were "The Fear", "Back To the Start" and "F**k You" which is a song that is totally geared towards George W. Bush. So, in other music news I have really no opinion about Miley Cyrus but I heard her new song from the Hannah Montanna movie on the radio and I have to say that it is not that terrible. It's called "The Climb" and while it is a bit sentimental, it is a very well put together song that anyone can relate to. Also it shows that she can sing. Also I'm getting into Adele much more than before and I downloaded M.I.A's song "O...Saya" from "Slumdog Millionaire" and I LOVE IT!

So the Academy Awards are tomorrow! OMG! I think it is stupid for people to say that in today's economy we can't have a ceremony like the Academy Awards. It's just like when people were criticizing the Inauguration, although I'm sure they were more likely criticizing the person being inaugurated. Here's the thing, the Academy Awards have been around for 81 years: they've been around during the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, The Vietnam War, The Recession of the 1980s, The Gulf War, September 11th, The Iraq War etc. In times of turmoil and crisis we need to have outlets in which to express optimism and hope. The Academy Awards offer that and I see no problem with it: it's just like going to the movies, going to a sports game, we need to allow ourselves to have fun. Just because we are in a shit storm economy did we cancel The Superbowl? No, we didn't. So suck it up and let yourself believe that happy days are in the future.

Can't wait for the Academy Awards and I will totally be watching Oprah the next day!
