The blatant and obvious exclusion of Farrah Fawcett from the Academy Award's tribute section was a real disappointment to me. It has definitely taken some of the shine and shimmer off of my feelings toward Hollywood and the Academy. Their excuses are lame and ridiculous. Farrah was an icon of beauty and strength that many of us grew up with. Her courage at the end was inspirational and the fact that the Academy didn't include her reeks of some sort of backroom politics. They should be ashamed of themselves and I for one won't watch any more of their Academy shows. The members should be outraged and insist that this is made right!  View

To leave Farrah out of the memorial was disgraceful. To include Michael Jackson who made one lousy movie - The Wiz, was ridiculous. I can't believe that Bea Arthur was left out as well. Politics in Horrorwood.  View

With Stark's involvement in the health debacle, that does seem to make sense. I'm with Politico on this one. But I have never heard of a leave of absence in politics.  View

This is exactly what is wrong with politics!  View

Stop it! This issue is making my blood boil. Toyota is the best auto maker in the world and all this fault finding is nothing more than politics and a media feeding frenzy. The US government has given up their right to treat Toyota this way now that they are major shareholders in US auto companies. They need to stop bullying Toyota and start cleaning their own house. This is all just so rediculous and I'm even less willing now to trade my ancient Toyotas in for American iron...  View

Part politics but, Toyota did respond to the issue faster in Japan, if I recall correctly.  View

I guess I don't understand how political frustration equates horrible acts of violence. I, like many others, have been frustrated with government and politics for as long as I can remember, and I will probably continue doing so. However, most people do not put others' life at risk just to vocalize their point.  View

There's so much politics behind this it's ridiculous. Interestingly, Russia seems to be reacting rather similarly (politically, if not militarily) to how the US reacted when Iran insisted its own weapons developments were intended for peace-keeping.  View

It's sad to see that politicians having extramarital affairs is still so commonplace. One would like to that in the present times, the boys club mentality would be all but gone. Unfortunately this is not the case in politics and many other industries.  View

Are there that many more extramarital affairs in the politics right now? Or do we just exist in a time period in which they're all coming to light? Infidelity in office isn't a novel concept. JFK was the White House's biggest family man, and even his personal life was subject to frequent debate.  View
