Commentary
Last week, a friend asked me for my thoughts on the recent Academy Awards ceremony. Like most truth-loving Americans, I wasn’t particularly interested in the farcical celebration of the film industry’s agenda, so I hadn’t read much about it. From the few glimpses of it I had caught on social media, I quipped, “John Cena needs to put some clothes on.” (I was referring to his attire, or lack thereof, when presenting the Best Costume award.)
