May 14 Rhett Oracle commented on Quick, Everyone, Insert the Word "Homeless" into Whatever You're Writing.
The homeless persons I know rarely have the opportunity to slag, and I wonder who is addressing this problem.
Mar 13 Rhett Oracle commented on The New Pope Is a Bigot Just Like the Last Pope.
Speaking of the Vatican banking system vis-å-vis the Pope, required reading is David A. Yallop's "In God's Name: An Investigation into the Murder of Pope John Paul I".
Mar 13 Rhett Oracle commented on The New Pope Is Latin American.
Neque clamabunt me, Argentina....
Feb 12 Rhett Oracle commented on A Critical Look at The Feminist Mystique.
@2 - not snarky at all - but I did like Tolstoy's "War or Peace".
Jan 28 Rhett Oracle commented on How Do You Pronounce the Word "Homage"?.
I would love to add another deux francs, but frankly je suis très fatigué. Pronouncing any word correctly is not a sin. I thought I was so smart the first time I used the word 'debacle' in public and was quickly informed that it wasn't 'debbicle'. I've been forever grateful to the smart-ass who corrected me. And for, now ah-DOO...

Her profession as an actor is notable - this is what she does - act. What film goers do is buy tickets to see her act. She owes us nothing more. Scripted speech? D'ya think? Melissa Leo could have used a scripted speech a few years ago. Mixed messages - get a spoon, stir.
Jan 14 Rhett Oracle commented on Fuck the Golden Globes.
@22 - you are spot on. In publication TV listings, all sports and awards shows should be listed under the subject of "BREAD & CIRCUSES". People like Roger Ailes have been able to figure out how to inject fear and misinformation into the America psyche, and they don't want you to spend too much time being upset over a few children macerated by bullets. They want you to buy soap and beer. Their success is evident.
Jan 14 Rhett Oracle commented on Golden Globes 2013: Girls Rule.
Jodie Foster gets paid to be an actor, a career at which she excels. We (her public) purchase tickets to see her act. That is all we should expect or ask for. The podium at the Golden Globes (or the Oscars, et.al.) is not a public confessional.
