AcademyAwards

Once again, they'll present the Oscars and this house will not even know what they are talking bout. Typically, we will not have seen any of the movies or people nominated.
This year, thanks to M, we've seen Argo. I don't think it should win anything except as cannon fodder in the movie industry.
Of course, I believe the Oscar should only be awarded if the film is good - not the best of the lot.
The Star, in the entertainment section, mentioned ' Shakespeare in Love ' as the upset Oscar winner over ' Saving Private Ryan '. SPR will probably be seen and revered years from now as a testament to movie making and the sacrifice required for WWII. SiL is probably even now just fluff. 
This house will watch the red carpet for glamour and wow, yes, we still say  ' Wow ' after all that's why they do it

From the TV news banner, the CDC has rated this year's flu shot as 9 % effective for seniors. This could explain the massive epidemic status of the flu in the U.S.

A Canadian was arrested as part of a conspiracy to smuggle honey in the U.S..
Homeland security was obviously worried about the bomb making capability of honeybees. Must be the wax, no ?

We are warmer, 28 F thingies but the wind chill is still high.
