But with the Hollywood crowd it's not about voting (yawn), it's about how you FEEL about voting. There have been queries as to why performing artists are predominantly mind-numbed leftists. The most reasonable explanation, to me, postulated that they work in a very tenuous business with frequent periods of indefinite duration of unemployment. That, combined with a necessary obsession about how they APPEAR to others, combines to condition them toward the less reasonable and more emotional (i.e., liberal) opinions. That may or may not be the answer-but I'd also factor in that if you added up all the IQ's in Show Business and multiplied by what ever you want, you still couldn't get too far west of the decimal point...

Gordon, Bush forgot one little detail before made the submarine deal with Taiwan. German and Dutch rules forbid arms exports to regions in crisis, and few relationships are as tense as that between China and Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a renegade province. London-based defence analyst, Paul Beaver, of Jane's, the military analysts, said: "No European Union country would consider selling to Taiwan". That leaves the United States in the unusual position of trying to work up its own submarine project. The only company that could provide such submarines would be the Mississippi-based shipbuilding firm Ingalls, but they have not built a diesel-powered sub since the 1960s. news.bbc.co.uk What a moron.
