Shooting at wolves

One of the latest lines of attack against McSame’s running mate is that she advocates the shooting of defenseless wild animals from airplanes, as seen in this ad…

SOCAL INDEPENDENT FILM FEST 2008: Thursday Shorts

Hi there, would-be makers of short films. I’d like to share an observation or two with you that you may or may not find helpful.

The ad mentioned Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal, “and introducing Charlie Hunnam.”

Charlie Hunnam, in 2002, was the star of NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, in a cast that included, Timothy Spall, Jim [...]

McLame doesn’t know any black people, apparently…
