      Whoops, 84% of the media establishment's money went to Democrats in the last election cycle, check out opensecrets.org for more info. We have at this momment to strike back at hollywood for some of the braindead shit they have done in the last 20 years in retaliation for this dispairity in funding and the jackasses they have been making of themselves in regards to this war. I have suggested to my Congressman and Senators to fire back with both barrels.
