Don’t forget to vote for Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars tonight!
Remember to vote for her as much as possible during the show…and then vote for her the maximum number of times online at www.ABC.com
Note: Even though the number is in giant font above, let’s see how long it takes for someone to say in comments, “What’s the phone number again? I can’t find it”. Five comments deep into the thread has been the average for that so far.
Does the Cocktail Party GOP establishment realize it can't run business as usual anymore?
INTERESTING: California Democrats killing film industry in Golden State
Last night, Robby’s actress sister got us some time to talk to a director she’s worked with, whose Mindy Cohn starring movie, Violet Tendencies, was shown here at the Reeling LGBTQ film festival.
The director told me about how hard it is to do business in California.
The government there has strangled the film industry with stifling legislation, which is why this guy prefers making movies in New York or Chicago.
In LA, there are just too many permits to buy, too many unions that have to be hired to stand around, and too much money that has to go to the government during an 18 day movie shoot for many filmmakers to work there.
Violet Tendencies was shot for $200k in New York.
They would have needed over ONE MILLION to film in California, with the bulk of that going to Sacramento and the union bosses.
It’s a staggering reminder that government and unions inhibit job creation and business by over-regulating and demanding excessive sums just to do something as simple as film a single scene in a public park.
There are apparently SCORES of out of work movie people in California as a result.
Yet, these people keep voting Democrat…even though Democrats destroyed their jobs.
How can we get through to these people?
I refuse to accept that this is just how things will always be.
