They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1% now hold 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%. Even that filthy pig Oprah acknowledged that it was at about 50% in 2006. Naturally, she put her own ‘humanitarian’ spin on it. Calling attention to her own ‘good will’. WHAT A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOB. THE RICHEST 1% HAVE LITERALLY MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Money does not grow on trees. When too much wealth accumulates at the top, the middle class slip further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. The world’s richest 1% now own over 40% of ALL WORLD WEALTH. This is EVEN AFTER you account for all of this ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS from celebrities and executives. ITS A SHAM. As they get richer and richer, less wealth is left circulating beneath them. This is the single greatest underlying cause for the current US recession. The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. Their wealth has been gradually transfered to the richest 1%. One way or another, we suffer because of their incredible greed. We are talking about TRILLIONS of dollars. Transfered FROM US TO THEM. Over a period of about 27 years. Thats Reaganomics for you. The wealth does not ‘trickle down’ as we were told it would. It just accumulates at the top. Shrinking the middle class and expanding the lower class. Causing a domino effect of socio-economic problems. But the rich will never stop. They will never settle for a reasonable share of ANYTHING. They will do whatever it takes to get even richer. Leaving even less of the pie for the other 99% of us to share. At the same time, they throw back a few tax deductable crumbs and call themselves ‘humanitarians’. IT CAN’T WORK THIS WAY. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. A total collapse of the US economy. Probably within a decade. The richest 1% will live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs, food, and gasoline. Crime, poverty, and suicide will skyrocket. So don’t fall for all of this PR CRAP from Hollywood, Pro Sports, and Wall Street PIGS. ITS A SHAM. Remember: They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. SEND A “THANK YOU” NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. ITS THEIR FAULT. I’m not discounting other factors like China, sub-prime, or gas prices. But all of those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the rich. Anyway, those other factors are all related and further aggrivated because of GREED. If it weren’t for the OBSCENE distribution of wealth within our country, there never would have been such a market for sub-prime to begin with. Which by the way, was another trick whipped up by greedy bankers and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. The credit industry has been ENDORSED by people like Oprah, Ellen, Dr Phil, and many other celebrities. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘humanitarian’ BS. ITS A SHAM. NOTHING BUT TAX DEDUCTABLE PR CRAP. Bottom line: The richest 1% will soon tank the largest economy in the world. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. and thats just the beginning. Greed will eventually tank every major economy in the world. Causing millions to suffer and die. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Please copy this entry and run it by any professor of socio-economics. I speak the truth.

It's star-whorey, and I'm not denying that, but at this late date, you do what you can do, and I get why she's such a perennial. She's a great television personality that can bring some diversity, humor, and spark to the inevitably tedious night, even if only for a few minutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-31682867447417250962008-02-16T11:21:00.000-05:002008-02-16T11:21:00.000-05:00I hope Emily Blunt is presenting!I hope Emily Blunt is presenting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-45868718388846734262008-02-15T21:34:00.000-05:002008-02-15T21:34:00.000-05:00Anon 10.50, thing is Latifah and Travolta both pre...Anon 10.50, thing is Latifah and Travolta both presented the Best Original Song category <B>last year</B> and Latifah again the year before that.

Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen had a huge year with "Knocked Up" (that should have made original screenplay, but I digress), Jonah Hill with "Superbad"/"Knocked Up", Cameron Diaz with "Shrek 3" (wow, that was a stretch, but bear with me!), Queen Latifah/John Travolta with "Hairspray", and Patrick Dempsey with "Enchanted"/"Grey's Anatomy". It's understandable seeing them picked to drum up ratings for ABC, whorey as they may be. <BR/><BR/>One presenter I'm really hoping for is Michael Cera. If Jonah Hill can get invited to present, then Cera should be sent the invite ASAP with his combo of "Superbad" and "Juno" (BP nominee).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84174867441417888302008-02-15T09:47:00.000-05:002008-02-15T09:47:00.000-05:00It will never happen, but I'd like them to come ou...It will never happen, but I'd like them to come out with a list of the people they've asked, but who refused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-7993831833220804202008-02-15T09:12:00.000-05:002008-02-15T09:12:00.000-05:00yeah, it is odd to me that they don't go with more...yeah, it is odd to me that they don't go with more movie stars who aren't very oscary.

Idina Menzel would have been great with this song, and she should have been given first dibs.
