...Acting seems like a big departure from broadcast journalism, which was your major in college. Is it that much of a departure? I think Tom Brokaw would have been a wonderful actor. Brian Williams? Come on! Watch Brian Williams on Saturday Night Live and tell me where broadcast journalism is such a radical departure from acting. Pick anybody in your local news and throw them into any 8 o'clock TV show on Fox and you'd be surprised...
About as common per capita as vegans in Texas, Republicans in Hollywood are having a coming-out party of sorts in Zucker's new movie, An American Carol. Hollywood's first brazenly right-wing comedy, it borrows Dickens' A Christmas Carol narrative to tell the story of left-wing activist and documentarian Michael Malone, whose disdain for his country runs so deep, he's campaigning to abolish the Fourth of July.

It's believed, though, that since strict enforcement began in late August, about a dozen people have been arrested, ranging from juveniles to a 36-year-old man, all of them African Americans. Under the local law, a first conviction garners a $150 fine or community service, a second one a $300 fine, and anyone who fails to pay up or perform their service could spend up to 60 days...
