On Why Can't America See 'The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus'?

Because Hollywood hates Terry Gilliam.

The distributor insisted that the ending was unacceptable; they wanted a happy ending. Gilliam wouldn't consent. Eventually it was released in bastardised form in the US; the European version was finally released in the US in the late 90s.

It made them look silly; they may hold a grudge.

On John McCain Now Wronger Than Ever on Georgia, Russia and Obama

Yes, but that report is from the Communo-Islamic EU (a subsidiary of Kenya), so is clearly irrelevant.

On I Had Sex With The Prime Minister Of Italy And All I Got Was This Lousy MEP Gig

I'm more worried that MEP jobs are apparently now the Great Dictator's to give; it's an elected post with a particular tendency to be taken by parties which are less important on a national scale.
