This space is typically reserved for those wascally actors who spout inane liberal claptrap.

But far be it from WWTW to exclude those on the right side of the Hollywood aisle.

Yes, it’s a very tiny aisle. But still …

Actor Jon Voight recently spoke out against the current administration and let loose with this stunner courtesy of The Washington Times:

“There’s a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?”

Voight only recently joined the vast right wing conspiracy, and more often than not he’s a reasoned voice on political matters.

Not here.

Let’s leave the conspiratorial vitriol to the blogosphere. It’s pretty darn unlikely the current President has a civil war in his play book. And no matter how many pre-election promises he shatters (post-partisanship being just one), the site of town hall protesters isn’t proof of anything other than noisy freedom of speech.

Since the new Edward Norton flick “Pride and Glory” focuses on the NYPD, I decided to rattle off the film’s cinematic crimes rather than deliver a standard review.

Take ‘em away, boys.

• Bad accents: Colin Farrell wasn’t born in The Bronx? You’d never know it after watching “P&G.” Why not just make Farrell’s character an immigrant and stop forcing him to hide his Irish brogue?
• Oh, brother: Are we really supposed to believe Norton is the brother of Noah Emmerich? And that their father is Jon Voight? Can’t a Hollywood movie cast actors who look vaguely alike one another?

• Unnecessary roughness: We don’t care if a film is running on empty – don’t stage a climactic fistfight just for the sake of busting up an Irish bar.
• Waste of resources: Jon Voight keeps popping up in movies these days, and he survives “P&G” with dignity intact. Not only does he serve up a solid New Yawk accent, he even delivers a credible drunk one mid-film. Still, his appearance amounts to a waste of natural resources.
• Recycling madness: We know Hollywood loves the green movement, but recycling every dirty cop cliche from the playbook doesn’t save a single tree.
