The Hills Are Alive With Lady Gaga
++The Oscars are history. Birdman beats Boyhood. Citizenfour wins documentary and Julienne Moore finally gets her Oscar. Congratulations to all the winners. And I didn't watch any of it. In memorium reminds us that we lost Robin Williams, which was the horrible event of last year. I was surprised Joan Rivers didn't get a mention since she was the regular at Hollywood Red Carpet events. But that's showbiz.

While You Are Watching The Oscars
++Mike Barnicle has a piece in the Daily Beast likening Rudy Guiliani to Jake LaMotta after he lost to Sugar Ray Robinson.
++Daryl Issa thinks Guiliani should be thanked for questioning President Obama's patriotism.
++Glenn Kessler gives Rudy 4 Pinnochios for his statements about President Obama's speeches and saying he doesn't love the country since the man says it every opportunity he can.
++I received an email from a conservative that thanks Guiliani for raising the issue of patriotism because progressives have a more relativist view of patriotism that takes in a person's experience while traditional patriots just know what is their duty and what is right for the nation. Say, like Torture.
++Stormy Monday at Democratic Underground previews this week with CPAC opening on Wednesday with their star-studded conservative speakers, Rahm Emmanuel faces a tough re-election campaign on Tuesday. The Homeland Security Department will furlough about 30,000 people if Congress doesn't pass funding and others will serve without pay. That's patriotism.
++My problem with the oscars this year is that I haven't seen any of the nominees. So I vote for Boy,Linklater's epic film shot over the entire life of a boy growing up and in documentary for Kennedy's account of the last days of Saigon. But I am sure I will be wrong.
