				<p><strong>I was glad that the Inconvenient Truth</strong></p><p>got the best documentary Oscar, but was stunned that the Etheridge song got best song, beating out songs from Dream Girls. I mean, I am all in favor of my team scoring, but then there is piling on. </p><p>
I think you need to read some political tea leaves into this. Oscars are political, and that second Oscar may be a shot across the bow of Hilary Clinton inevitability. Along with Geffin's comments it shows that maybe the Clintonistas cannot take Hollywood for granted. </p><p>
That's how I read the bones. </p><p>

Samuel Johnson said that patriotism is the last refuge of <a href="http://www.samueljohnson.com/patrioti.html" rel="nofollow">scoundrels.<p>
I now say that "Environmentalism" (in it's current, Hollywood-hyped Green form) is the last refuge of Hasbeens.<p>
From Al Gore to Tom Cruise to Melissa (when was here last hit) Ethridge to Kevin Bacon, all can gather round and jump on the Coaster Wagon, getting a few last pumps of the old career.
