NOTE FROM MS. CHEEVIOUS:
You knew the day would come when my beau M.C. Nugget would agree to cook up a blog for MsCheevious! Considering he is one of the funniest and most clever writers I know, I’m ecstatic! And so, without further adieu, I give you… The Nugg…
============
Well, greetings ladies and gentlemen and fellow barnyard critters. Mc. Nugget, FKA Fred the Wonder Chicken here, guest blogging. Apparently Ms. Cheevious’ good writers are all busy.
Well then… How about a little minutia? The proverbial “mole hill,” which I will endeavor to turn into a mountain (cause, it’s the little things)…
Michelle Obama on the Oscars.
My human counterpart touched on this on Facebook and got quite a response. So now it’s your turn.
Full disclosure; I lean to the left. This scruffy chicken voted for the big “O” and I think his wife is a great First Lady. She tries to keep our chubby youth thin, (quite an undertaking), and she represents her office with class. However……
What were you thinking Academy??
Really? Did you not suppose that her appearance might serve to polarize say… HALF your audience? Yes, Republicans watch the Oscars too (although just for the commercials)! I mean Hollywood is already known as the Mordor of the left, so why stoke that fire? There actually are GOP supporters in the entertainment industry, by the way. I know. I saw one once. From a distance…. He looked uncomfortable…
Now you’re saying, “what’s the big deal?” “Lighten up.” “Don’t you have anything better to do?” “Take off that stupid hat!” “I’m calling Ms Cheevious to complain!” Remember today is all about…MINUTIA!
So, where were we? Oh yeah. See, these days anything that can be construed as political becomes political. It has nothing to do with intention. I don’t think the Academy intended to make a political statement but you put the First Lady up on a 70 foot screen in front of the most powerful people in Hollywood, with the Best Picture envelope in her hand, then beam it ‘round the world, it’s gonna’ get some attention. I know a guy with a fading Romney bumper sticker still on his car, who wasn’t even watching, and he broke out in a cold sweat! Some of the comments I got on Facebook were none too friendly either… on both sides.
My point, I guess, is that we are a pretty divided country. People wear their politicians like the jersey of their favorite football team, and get really pissed off when they lose. (If you’ve ever been to a Raiders game, you know what I’m talking about). Hollywood, presenting Michelle Obama as some kind of prize that they helped create, (and believe me there are people who think that), doesn’t help that division. And it’s not what the Academy Awards are about. I think she stole a little thunder from Argo….. Yeah I know: “Arrrr-go F*#k yourself!”
But here’s the big problem… the BIG question… When did that envelope get TO THE White House? And who peeked?? Come on, you know someone did! This is the “government” we’re talking about … keeping a “secret.” That’s like oil & water, kids. If nothing else, do you really think that they’re gonna let some clown get off a plane from LA and hand the First Lady an envelope without checking it for Anthrax?
Come on! Someone took a peek inside that envelope, before she got it! And I wanna’ know if any calls went out from the White House to Vegas an hour before the show!
Just one cynical chicken’s point of view.

An entire article about the Academy Awards and you didn’t mention the words dress or fashion once! Kuddos! This borders on hard hitting journalism! LMAO! Seriously though, who did peek? I smell a conspiracy. Great post, Nugg!
p.s. In the words of Yoda: Writer good, you are!
Yeah – he’s got some mad skills alright. XOXO @twitter-188465138:disqus
My biggest wonder was: Who were all the goofy uniformed people smiling like their lives depended on it in the background? I thought it was the perfect capper for what was a really bizarre edition of the Tonys… uh, I mean Oscars. Yeah, Oscars.
I noticed that too Alan! HA!!
Funny! I miss the First Lady and my spotty watching of the awards. What I find amazing is we can get all wrapped around the axle about her being there. So what! Can’t the residence of the White House enjoy the party as much as the rest of us?
Thanks for posting Ms. Cheevious.
My sentiments exactly Dana! I loved the entire thing! This is where MC and I differ. I think it was fine, and if the republicans felt alienated… well… don’t they always? don’t democrats always? lol
Now I wish I would’ve watched it!
Thanks for commenting & stopping by Elise! I thought it was one of the best Oscars myself! First Lady and all!
It was, in my opinion, one of the better ones. Except the part I talked about. Thanks for reading Elise. The Nugg
I watched the end of the Oscars just to see what to go see. Went, and at least did finally learn what “Argo” meant. I speculate that once the decision had been made to accept the enlistment of Ms. Michelle as a surprise presenter, the Secret Service let some Price-Waterhouse lady courier in with the envelope secure in her bosom. We’ll
never know. Worse things have gone on in the White House.
Seems that Michelle’s dress was touched up to cover shoulders on Afghan TV. Now that’s scary!
I liked the minutia; let’s hear more from Ckn. Nugg.
Now that’s what I am talking about. A man who appreciates the Chicken. I never noticed the dress cover up. Will have to get my chicken senses checked. Thanks, glad you liked it.
