Оскаро(на)носное

Голливуд совсем измельчал и спекся.
Оскаровское шоу я не смотрел, ибо смотреть там нечего. Но осуждаю. Баттон, или Фрост-Никсон получше, чем Милк.

Кстати, касательно Милка. Гораздо интереснее смотреть документальный фильм The Times of Harvey Milk http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088275/ 84-го года, чем соверменную под(д)елку.

Parenting Quiz: How do you stack up against Barack and Michelle?

Over the past several months, Barack and Michelle have shared with the press their stalwart commitment to their daughters, Sasha and Malia. Michelle repeatedly tells reporters that her girls come first. And even in the White House with dozens of household staff members ready to pick up toys, the first lady strives to teach her kids responsibility. Yes, Sasha and Malia make their own beds.
In fact, the Obamas are so seemingly outstanding that they're raising the bar for parents across the country. If Barack can work on solving the world's problems and then make it to his daughter's basketball game, shouldn't all moms and dads be attending their kids' sporting events?
How does your parenting stack up against Barack and Michelle's? Are you equally dedicated? To find out, respond to the 12 questions below and give yourself one point for every "yes." And then read on for some advice.

...

Score: 0 to 4 points - Sorry, you are not Obama caliber. You seem to be using the same old parenting tactics that are creating problems rather than solving them.

Score: 5 to 7 points - You're undecided. You're torn between two parties: the "good" parents and the "bad" ones. You want to put your kids to bed by 8 p.m. but then you struggle to commit. You know that you should buy organic but then you fail to follow through.

Score: 8 to 13 points - Congratulations! You're an Obama parent! Your children will likely grow up to attend Yale or become professional singers and dancers, just as Sasha and Malia hope to do some day. If you visit ObamaChangeParent.com, you can purchase an "I'm an Obama Parent" bumper sticker for $25.

Я
себя
под Лениным чищу,
чтобы плыть
в революцию дальше,
Я боюсь
этих строчек тысячи,
как мальчишкой
боишься фальши.

Рассияют головою
венчик -
я тревожусь
не закрыло чтоб
настоящий
мудрый
человечий
Ленинский
огромный лоб.
Я боюсь
чтоб шествия
и мавзолеи,
поклонений
установленный статут
не залили б
приторным
елеем
Ленинскую
простоту.
За него дрожу,
как за зеницу глаза,
чтоб конфетной
не был
красотой оболган.
Голосует сердце -
я писать обязан
по мандату долга.
