Shame on You Hillary for Insulting Us.

I think we all were surprised by Hillary Clinton's dramatic exaggeration of here trip to Bosnia in '96. Frank Rich of the NY Times sums it up pretty well. Clinton was regaling audiences with her story for the past month, over three different speaking events. As Rich cites, this was part of here prepared speeches that were approved and vetted by her and the staff.


Finally her camp acknowledged their screw up. So when she snapped back at the press when she finally admitted the error one week later - she described that she "misspoke, that its was due to lack of sleep.." I don't know about others but I was quite insulted. Not only did she make her statement of explanation in a bitchy, how dare you question me tone, but there was no residue forgiveness or contriteness in her words nor demeanor. Whatsoever.
Cold, cold, cold.

And you wonder why people want fresh blood inside the beltway. And why her poll quotient is dropping. Hillary Clinton is a calculating liar. This last piece of wholesome bullshit follows her disingenuous spins on her NRA negotiation contribution and support for NAFTA. Just like George W., she thinks we are clueless sheep that lack cognitive faculties and any ounce of memory.

JRR Tolkien family sues New Line - 0$ for "Lords Trilogy!"

First Peter Jackson, director of the $6billion revenue Lord of the Rings Trilogy had to sue Time Warner's New Line film division to get his payments due to him. Now, the JRR Tolkien trust has to sue them again to get a scant payment of $150mm from the creative hollywood accountants over at Columbus Circle headquarters in NYC.

What was New Line management thinking, that they could avoid paying the family with shady balance sheet sleights of hand? Maybe they thought th3 humongous $62k upfront payment to the family would silence them. Woohoo.

And, then again, maybe our entertainment industry should dial down the greed quotient right Tom? Scient-graduate, high school drop out..
