Got a message in my inbox today telling me “why my ticket matters.”
No, it wasn’t about the upcoming presidential election directly, but in a way the e-mail IS connected to politics. The e-mail reminded me to support “An American Carol,” the new pro-American, anti-Michael Moore comedy opening this Friday.
Everyone is watching to see what happens.
Hollywood. The media. The Left. Yes, even Michael Moore.
This month Hollywood is giving us “Carol,” Bill Maher’s anti-religion documentary “Religulous” and Oliver Stone’s “W.”
It’s like the red state/blue state squabble is playing at a theater near you.
Who will win? Well, Maher’s documentary will likely fly in big cities but won’t make much cash. The press surrounding “W” should help it make some coin on its first weekend, but I can’t imagine movie goers will be eager to see a rehash of the last eight years.
“An American Carol” is the true wild card. We’ve never seen anything like it in theaters – a satire gunning for the left. Will conservatives turn out in droves to see it? And will Blue State types take kindly to the ribbing?
I’ll predict a $15 million opening weekend — enough for both sides to claim victory.

Thank goodness that McCain got that campaign financing thing passed, otherwise people would be sending big monetary contributions to the candidates, instead of making $100mill theatrical commercials instead.
Close call, eh, K?
