Voting Ourselves IntoOblivion
March 3, 2008
No, I&;m not talking about the primaries. I&;m talking about how the Academy of Motion Arts voted French actress Marion Cotillard an Oscar&;despite her horrendous comments about a commercial &;conspiracy&; to bring down the World Trade Center.
She might have been drunk, but maybe Sean Young was right after all.
And more importantly, the U.S. Air Force just voted to spend $40 billion of U.S. taxpayer money on a European aircraft, Airbus tankers instead of Boeing. &;Air Force Gen. Arthur Lichte [sounding uncannily like the Hate American Products crowd at Consumer Reports] said the larger size was key. &;More passengers, more cargo, more fuel to offload.&;
Americans have voted that foreign is better. I guess we don&;t need American workers (even actors), American products or American manufacturing capacity.
Just don&;t act surprised that the U.S. economy is underwater&;or that 10.3% of Americans owe more than their house is worth.
