I remember when Berkley Breathed started Bloom County back in the 1980s. It was a breath of fresh air and left-wing perspective in a world taken over by Ronald Reagan's right-wing dementia. From the Iran-Contra affair to the myth of the welfare queens, there was nothing sacred in the Berkley Breathed canon of satirical targets.

For this Puerto Rican girl who could navigate "Anglo" culture with an inquisitive yet critical eye, Bloom County gave me the kind of political commentary I could find nowhere in the MSM exports of Time and Newsweek, needless to say in our island's papers either.

Actually, back in the 1980s, all the Anglo political irreverence I was getting through the mainstream media that reached our island, came in the guise of comedy or cartoons : Bloom County, Doonsbury, Pat Oliphant, Jules Pfeiffer and the stand up comedy of Steve Allen, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, Bill Cosby. My life was never the same after watching Whoopie Goldberg's one woman show on HBO at the end of the 1980s.

Good night Opus. ACK!

Seriously.

WTF!

I haven't seen the movie. Actually, I am going to come clean : I haven't seen any of the movies.

That's right. I haven't given a shit about movies for a long time, especially if they are meant to make me ponderous or outright depressed. I think everything went downhill for me after I watched Pier Paolo Passolini's Salo. I just couldn't do cinema easily after that.

Back to DDL.

It's seems that Mr. Day-Lewis here has been sweeping every single major acting award for the past 2 months. My bb Viggo won a few awards but Daniel is one greedy motherfucker ... or should we say the judges are just plain lazy.

Anyhow, I'm scooting over to the Oscars Watch Party over at Comix Club here in NYC. It's sad, but I haven't been to an Oscars party in years. Worse of all, it's the first time in months I go out for fun as in not related to blogging and/or business.
