The following was sent to me by Liberty Letters' poet/essayist, Tom Graffagnino, 8 days ago - but it still applies.

Those 'in the know' seem quite sure that the tender pastoral love story, "Brokeback Mountain", will walk away with most of the Hollywood glory on Sunday night…

But I wonder if the foreign film, "Paradise Now!", will also take gold at the Oscars?

Boy wouldn't that be a big surprise!? I can see the headlines now:

"Brokeback and holocaust-promotion flick take top Hollywood honors"

Here's a poem…(Just for fun).

"Holocaustic Chic"
Watch the Progress of Perversion
Flicker 'cross the silver screen;
Hollywood makes her bold statement:
"We support muhajadeen!"

Shepherd-Love flick?
Just a warm-up
For this virgin-seeking tale;
Israel's extermination
Tinsel-Townies all regale!

Hollywood is all a-titter!
See-through sequined…
(Sneak a peek!)
There the Diamond-studded
Bright-Stars
Push their Holocaustic-Chic!

Joseph Goebbels had a vision…
Now his dream is up in lights!
Watch this Glamour-Propaganda
Applauded by these men in tights!

Yessiree!
This flick's explosive!
It's a hit, man!….Just for you!
"Paradise" will never bomb here!
(That's just for Israeli Jews!)
