Don't Steal My Stuff

In case you missed it, Anne Culter just took my Oscar prediction idea, subtracted the humor and added her trademark mean-spiritedness:

Plus she didn't research the previous year!

I know it's tough to put out a column a week...oh, no, wait, I do that...and I have a day job and a social life! Maybe she's too busy talking to hear herself think?

Weirder still, apparently she drinks with Bill Maher. And apparently Bill Maher is drinking buddies with Hugh Hefner. That'd be more interesting than most nights out at least...you'd meet Anne Coulter at the bar and you'd think, 'I wonder if someone famous is doing her.' But before you can ask, Larry King comes over except it's not Larry King, it's just his hair sitting atop a short, snide little prick with a cable comedy show...no not Dennis Miller, the one with the average vocabulary - that's it Bill Maher. And then you think...nooooo way is he doing her. So then Hef comes over and you see him standing next to Bill Maher and suddenly the Beethoven haircut makes sense - Bill Maher is trying to be a snide priggish version of Hef. He's probably even wearing a bathrobe and sniffing a polo. So anyway, Hef comes over and you look at him and you look at Anne and you think...nooo wayyyyy...

But it has to be somebody right? So let's brainstorm the most amusing people to do Anne Coulter.

My list is:
Bill Maher
Hugh Hefner
Nick Lachey and/or Matt Leinart
The nerdy kid from Parker Lewis Can't Lose
Larry King

I can't believe I'm doing this, but...

I don't understand your gripe:

1) It's not as if Hollywood tries to disguise its political agenda.
2) The idea that Hollywood rewards movies based on expressed fealty to that agenda is not all that much of a surprise given the first point.

But more to the point, Ann Coulter observed the same thing as you. So what? Do you think she copied your blog? Or are you irritated that she wrote about the same subject after you did? Are you burned she took your good idea and did shoddier work with it? Or are you unhappy having written similar content as Ann Coulter?

And let's be honest. It's not as if your Oscar prediction idea was exactly extolling Hollywood's methods. You might not have been as openly derisive as her, but come on -- it's not like your analysis was impartial.

So why such anger? What's the real beef here?
