S.E. Cupp’s Diary: Crazytown mayoral election under way

Speaking of movies, the Oscars are like a cult. They may as well be called the Moonies. Every year, categorically strange people put on bizarre costumes and slowly parade down a long carpet into their ritual amphitheater, where the group elders are entertained by dance and pantomime, and eventually crowned as kings and queens. They honor their dead with a strange video montage and make outlandish statements while crying or screaming. Then they tote their little gold men around for the rest of the night, and it all ends, I can only assume, with a ritual circumcision at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.

I encourage anyone living in liberal environs to put on an NRA cap, walk into their local Whole Foods, and ask the store manager in the hemp t-shirt and hipster sneakers where they’re hiding the Doritos and the Bud Light. It will change your life.

Must-read of the week: Jonah Goldberg has a vigorous discussion (with himself, mostly) applauding the fact that collective hatred for Woodrow Wilson has (finally!) come into fashion. Like all things Goldberg, it will make you wish you had the considerable intellectual heft—and time—to wade through heady issues like the birth of “anti-Wilsonism.”
