Brokeback Backlash???

Could it be? "Brokeback Mountain" the best ensemble cast award to"Crash" and some are saying that it may be it is beginning to suffer some backlash which could hamper its Oscar possibilities.

The Screen Actors Guild took an interesting turn last night and gave their Best Ensemble Cast award not to favorite "Brokeback Mountain," but to "Crash," the only 2005 movie with a true ensemble.

Is this a blow to Oscar ambitions of "Brokeback?" Maybe. Also over the weekend, Ang Lee won Best Director for "Brokeback." Suddenly the Oscar race — which will crystallize tomorrow morning — is looking a bit clearer.

"Brokeback" will still be nominated for Best Picture, along with "Walk the Line" and "Capote." I do think that three films are vying for the two remaining spots, though: "Munich," "Crash," and "Good Night, and Good Luck."

After last night, the latter suddenly seems the most vulnerable. George Clooney losing the SAG vote to Paul Giamatti is one sign. The "Crash" win is another. SAG membership was blanketed with "Crash" DVDs, and SAG voting is the most accurate precursor of Oscars.

Tomorrow morning, when the titles are read alphabetically, there will be held breaths after "Brokeback" is announced. "Capote" will be next. And then? If you hear "Crash," then either
"Good Night" or "Munich" is in. If "Good Night" is in, then say goodbye to "Munich." Of course, if "Crash" was overlooked by the entire Academy, then "Good Night" and "Munich" are in.

Obama spokesperson confirms NY Post article

Well, it sure sounds like she did ; In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open,” Zebari reportedly said. … Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.” In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
