The Awards?

Feb. 23, 2009

What's up with the accents?  I really love then but I would like to see American artists walk away with some of these American awards, they are just as gifted (you are aware of that aren't you?).  Also while I'm on this bone I want to tell everyone that my daughter-in-law (who was invited to be in Sundance and in fact was in Sundance) could not get a job in the industry in England.  She could not even cash a check let alone get one. It was impossible for my son and his wife to survive in England but here on American soil most of the jobs are up for grabs if you have an English, Australian, Irish or Italian accent, now if you happen to be Mexican the only job you may get is on the Kraft services.  I love all these accents and I have ancestors from some of the countries I've mentioned but I don't love the fact that we may have a grass is greener on the other continent mentality.  We've sold our textile industry, our computer industry, our car industry to countries way off shore, we no longer grow enough cotton to cloth an army if god forbid we did go into another world war. Forgot about food it's imported from China (?). If were in need of assistance with the computer that was made in China we call a number that connects us to India where we try and figure out what the person on the other end of the line is saying.  This new stress test proves to be almost impossible and end up being greater then the problem with the computer.  What's wrong with us did I miss a beat here.
