I recently discovered the site
Newsmeat, a place to find campaign contributions from various famous people. A great place to play around. You can be surprised by
Dennis Hopper's political leanings, disappointed by
Vin Scully, or confused by
Donald Fehr (for the baseball fans, those last two). I know that RbR will be downright shocked by
Seth MacFarlane's apparently strong political leanings (he's the brain behind "Family Guy").
Tom Cruise used to donate a lot, but hasn't at all recently. See what you can find out!
Wow, those are surprising. Who'd've thought a drug addicted, modern art collecting, actor would be a Republican. Oh, wait, one of those is Governor of California. I guess he's in it for the values.
ReplyDeleteCruise is beyond politics (or psychiatry) since he joined the Scientologists. I suppose they get all his money now.
I'm surprised by the Family Guy thing. Family Guy is usually such subliminal advertising for the right (lots of misogyny, lots of kicking little people when they're down).

I think the Family Guy misogyny and kicking people while they're down is more of an immature thing than a right-wing thing. Plus, it's funny (kidding, ladies!)

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
