Palin 2012?
The Queen of Hearts has escaped from Wonderland.
She has taken the guise of former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, and is calling for the beheading of every Democrat who is up for election.
Panic amongst the liberals is spreading as Palin and her Tea Party court take aim on the “Tea Party Targets” list. The targets include: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO), Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). This list was unveiled in Washington D.C. on April 15, or Tax Day, and was the final stop for the Tea Party Express.
The Tea Party Express was a two week bus tour that went across the country to boost support for the movement. The day before the target list was announced, Palin spoke at the Boston leg of the Express tour, and called for the end of Democratic big spending plans.
“That agenda is over. We are voting them out. We’re going to tell them you’re fired!” exclaimed Palin on April 14.
Sam Neill was not in LOTR
MTV Australia needs to hire more thorough editors. “Sam Neill joins Optus One80project,” by Penny Newton, incorrectly ties Neill to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Neill will be joining the cast of judges for the upcoming season of the show.
The actor who Newton was referring to is Hugo Weaving, and anyone with internet access can easily find this out. Perhaps the most embarrassing part of this, is that this mistake found its way into MTV’s official press release for the show.
The Optus One8oproject is a televised competition giving up-and-coming Australian filmmakers an opportunity to showcase their material via mobile devices, Internet, and television. The project is spearheaded by Optus and MTV Australia.
Yes, Neill and Weaving look fairly similar, but a journalist should not merely assume. In fact Neill was rumored to play the part given to Weaving, but Neill had already committed to Jurassic Park III.
Another glaring mistake in Newton’s article is the claim that Neill is a native Australian. He was born in Northern Ireland and eventually moved to New Zealand.
Neill was even quoted in the press release. Newton could have fact checked with the man, but instead the article looks sloppy. How could so many fact errors have gotten past one round of editing?
