Are You Watching Any Of The Inauguration?

I wonder how much money the Golden Globes award show cost?

Limosine rentals, clothing purchases, the awards themselves, set design, food and beverages, production costs, etc. I am sure it cost a few million to produce, yet Hollywood had no problem spending that money... I am sure the tsunami victims and the starving, homeless people in and around Hollywood would have made much better use of that money than the self-serving, self-congratulatory back slapping parade that happened.

Yet, I haven't heard a peep about it...

Odd that.

Maybe if it was paid for with taxpayer money you would hear a peep about it.

Maybe if Bush's inauguration celebration was paid for with taxpayer money you would have a point.

I wonder what the Democrats would have done if Kerry had won. I'll go on record to say it probably would have been about the same.

Speaking at the winter meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Williams (D) called on that organization, as well as other groups that represent local government, to protest the decision to force the city to use $11.9 million in homeland security funds to pay for police and other services on Inauguration Day. Traditionally, the federal government covers those costs.

As Bush will not reimburse D.C. for their homeland security expenditures, and as Bush is cutting those funds to most major cities, it would seem that they'd need to make up the difference. Don't taxpayer dollars pay for firemen, police, etc.? And there'll be tons of overtime that'll need to be considered.

At least some of these Hollywood stars who attended the Golden Globes are making their own contributions to the Tsunami relief effort, as I have done already.

Some people just need a warm schlitz and a marlboro to have fun, others need Dom and caviar...
