Bolt for "Bolt"

From $.60 an hr. to sell popcorn in a theatre ( my first job in the 1950's) to $15.00 an hr. to canvas for the U.S. Census ( applications are available for work early in 2009 , America has seen many ‘tough economic times.’ So have I. From a literary expression like to "board a bus" to its academic re-iteration, "to be drawn upward into the interior," America has tolerated many pretensions. The culmination of our rise to economic and literary superiority seems to be the re-definition of bigotry as tolerance by the liberal left in America. Oh, for the golden days when musicals from Hollywood were all about escapism and nonsense rather than boorish, indecent portrayals of liberal agendas. The public luckily still gets it. Give them a choice between a computer generated white dog, ‘Bolt’ and a politically correct romantic panorama of Australian revisionism, Americans with their feet and their pocketbooks, will take the feel-good diversion every time.
