Hollywood and were their money goes (Public Policy Wise)

Today at the Variety.com site (yes THAT Variety rag) they did a short article about were Hollywood is spending its money when it comes to shaping our public policy.

To no surprise Norman Lear, Rob "Meathead" Reiner, Haim Saban (who imported the Super Sentai franchise from Japan and renamed it for the west as Power Rangers), Don Henley (The Eagles) and last but not least Barbara Streisand spent their money on Democrats.

I should point out that Lear, Streisand, and Henley have invested their money in Dem candidate that is challanging Tom DeLay. So if you are in his district (Houston), just remember that certian Hollywood types are trying to swing the outcome. They don't really care about Texas, they just care about getting Democrats elected so that they can shape the whole country in THEIR image.

Republicans are not left out in cold however to my surprise Viacom (who recently spun off its Broadcast TV, and TV Producation intrests into a new CBS Inc.) has given 52% to the GOP while 48% went to the Dems. The Walt Disney Company gave 56% to the GOP while the Dems got 44%. Oh and since I mechioned Power Rangers and Saban so that you know Disney now owns the western counterpart of Super Sentai now.
