Yeehaw...

It won. I knew it would. It had to.

I also knew that, despite my disdain for the phrase, it would reappear in papers all over the world this a.m. For example:

"The Australian actor's gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain won best film..."-- The Courier Mail (Australia)

"...the gay cowboy movie...now the front-runner in Hollywood's Oscar race."-- Reuters

And not quite as bad:

"The gay cowboy romance wins for best dramatic picture and best director, for Ang Lee."
-- ABC News

Call it whatever you want. It's a winner.
I guess it's "the Golden Globe-winning, Oscar favorite, gay cowboy movie."

I'll drop that issue and start with the next.
Ledger and Williams got robbed. And where are the nominations for Jake Gyllenhaal?

Granted I haven't seen the movie. And I haven't seen Walk The Line but I heard it was quite the contender. I think I'll make up my mind after seeing both movies.
Jake Gyllenhaal is so cute. :)

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
