Sigourney Weaver: Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘Breasts’ Cost James Cameron the Oscar

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Sigourney Weaver is sounding off on why James Cameron lost the Oscar: his ex-wife's breasts are the reason why he didn't get the Oscar. I suppose it's fair, per Weaver's involvement in the Alien movies. Anyway, the Big Hollywood OP sums up the underlying issue nicely, so there isn't much to say on my end. Enjoy.

Well, I found this interesting and thought I should share.

Canceled: Hearing That Would Have Grilled CEOs on Health Care

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., has canceled a hearing intended to grill CEOs who took a charge against profits because of the health care reform bill.

The cancellation came after they realized what everyone already knew - that the companies were required to do what they did because of accounting rules. Waxman and others had reacted with outrage and accused the companies of doing it - in essence, to make health care reform look bad.

And this from Boehner:

House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, responded to the cancelation saying, "House Democrats canceled this hearing because they don’t want to give America's employers a forum to tell the public how President Obama’s new health care law is already hurting our economy and hampering job creation."

"Chairman Waxman thought he could intimidate businesses into keeping quiet about this new job-killing health care law, but when they called his bluff by continuing to speak out, he chose to pull the plug," Boehner said in a statement.

Which about sums up my thoughts.
