Bad Timing
As the show was sailing along in the fantasy land of the screen, both big and little...where the pretty people picked up the awards...hey, the most honored was the musical, "La La Land"...that won most everything possible...all the parts...and really became a celebration of the movie...I've wanted to see it for awhile now...it's not at our local theater...boo...another story for another time...
The telecast was moving a bit slow...these all seem to do so...and then...it slowed...waaaayyyy down...time for the bit to give the award for a lifetime achievement...to the celebrated actress, Meryl Streep...and she decided to turn the acceptance speech into a political statement...OK...what she said was of merit...however, it was about Prez-Elect Trump...she emphasized where some of her fellow stars actually were from...outside of the US...border thinger...actually said that if they weren't there, who'd the people watch?...give me a break...then she went into the bullying thing...yes, that part was was right on...except...the TIMING...
Where was this when it actually had some influence?...like before the election...where her fellow Demos stayed away from the polls in millions...and allowed who she so eloquently ripped apart, to get elected...why didn't she travel around the country and say what she needed to?...that if she was so passionate about it...but...to do so after it's all said and done...left me a bit angry...I believe that her message now...was designed to tear this country further apart...NOT what we need right now...
So...my good friend from the east...sent me some footage of Streep talking Hilz...before...I stand corrected...she talked before and after...there you go...feel better?...NO!...I still blame the DNC for sabotaging Bernie's campaign...and this...is another story altogether...right?
Hmmm...it put a dagger in the show for sure...the mood switched to somber...and I felt bad for the best actress award that was won by the La La Land gal, Emma Stone...the swagger and fun was gone...it was all about Meryl...and what SHE thought...too bad...
Soooo...all my sources have this as a major topic...hey, it's not the message that bugged me...it was the TIMING of it...what say you?...
OK, other Horse stuff...
The Pack woke up and drilled them NY Giants...am not a believer in little Manning...and set up the biggee of the NFL....the one that many football fans have as their favs...Green Bay and Dallas...should be a great game...and the league is ecstatic...the pixel numbers should be off the charts...it's in Texas at that monstrosity of a stadium...been there and hated it...
Same path for the Warriors...who were sleep walking in Sac town...woke up and beat Boogie's Kings...rumor is that the Cap City team is gonna throw $200 million at Cousins to keep him...egads...nobody is worth that amount of dough...nobody...
PDX lost again...in the PNW to the Pistons in OT...somebody take the ball out of Plumlee's hands...the coach won't...there is a reason that he is open, dude...figure it out...
Later this month, Tiger is coming to play at the Farmer's...dang, I can't get out there...company and all...the crowd will be huge...at least for the 1st two days...stop it Horse...BTW, Justin Thomas won over at Kapalua...22 under...yea, right...
See above...Prez-Elect Trump commented on Streep's speech...called her 'over-rated'...lordy...now this is BAD TIMING, too...
I dunno kids...just not sure where we are going...maybe Meryl has something after all...I'm at a loss for words...I guess we just have to strap ourselves in and see where this ride is going...
Ooops...forgot the D-1 Champ game...Clemson over 'Bama....take the 6 1/2 points...shoot, I don't care...
The Horse rests...
BTW...just got a wild feeling that this will be my most hit blog ever...EVER!...record is 134....
And NOW, the Horse rests...

Cheers to Meryl Streep for taking advantage of the spotlight...time will if our newly elected president will be "of the people, by the people, for the people". As for more divided due to Meryl's words, I beg to differ. Praying for peace and goodwill towards all :)
