This week’s Poliwood is about “Who Killed Hollywood?” - assuming somebody did. Or perhaps, as I state, cribbing the great words of Preston Sturges referring to chivalry: “It’s not only dead, it’s decomposed.”

The media, of course, swallowed like eager, brainless adherents - another indication that liberalism is not only dead, it’s decomposed.

Or, to once again paraphrase the great Preston Sturges: “Lberalism is not only dead, it’s decomposed.”

The word liberal no longer exists. It has been hijacked and placed in the deep freeze… or … to paraphrase Preston Sturges (who was talking of chivalry at the time)… “Liberalism is not only dead. It’s decomposed.”

Back on 6/13/2003 I put up a post based on that great Claudette Colbert (okay, Preston Sturges) line from Palm Beach Story: “Chivalry is not only dead, it’s decomposed!” The same, I wrote then and continue to feel [You haven't matured, I see.-ed.], can be said of party politics in our country today...
