I heard the first reports of possible theater fraud against An American Carol over the weekend when Jayme Siemer, EM Zanotti, and Jenn Sierra said they had visited a theater in Oklahoma to see the film. According to the three whom I know personally, the theater had “R” as the movie rating instead of “PG-13″. This could certainly be a mistake, but it was noted that the staff were aware of the problem, and it had been that way for two days.

The problem, however, is that this is now the third instance of this that I’ve heard of. And now, to make matters worse, a source of mine from within the industry and with close ties to the film tells me that there is an open investigation into at least TEN movie theaters that have apparently attributed sales of An American Carol movie tickets to OTHER MOVIES!

In fact, the actual An American Carol website currently has a page up asking movie goers who have questionable tickets to send photo copies and submit other tips.

I’ll bring you the updates as they come in. If this turns out to be true, it would once again expose liberalism for what it is… one big fraud.

In case you’ve missed all of the chatter over the Burning Down the House Video, here is a summary.

You Tube and Warner Music Group today pulled a highly popular video that very succinctly and clearly spelled out the roots of the current economic crisis.

The 9:59 video entitled “Burning Down the House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis” played four different songs under a fast moving video sequence that very clearly tied Democrats like Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Barack Obama to policies and corruption related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It cleverly showed how the “affordable mortgage” programs sent an economic virus through the entire economy and showed Republican efforts to intervene and regulate being blocked.

For Obama and all congressional Democrats, it was a devastating video.

The video had almost a perfect viewer rating and had been viewed some 1.2 million times according to the You Tube counters. Sometime around 3:45 EDT the video disappeared with the banner saying “This Video is no longer available due to a copywrite claim by Warner Music Group.”

This video, for the moment, is back on YouTube. Enjoy!

This November’s election will likely prove to be one of the most exciting elections in the History of the United States of America. I’m a Libertarian, free-market activist, so it’s a given that I’ll be glued to results for about 24 hours straight.

But I’m in Chicago, and God knows far left politics in this city make for a predictable night in local politics with virtually no excitement for a free-market junkie like myself. With that in mind, I’ve decided to spend November 3rd, 4th, and 5th in Columbus Ohio.

I’ll be setting up Conservablogs to live blog and follow the election as it unfolds, I’ll be live Tweeting the event, and I’ll be following Ballotpedia’s live wiki format throughout the night.

I would love to hook up with Ohio bloggers in the Columbus area for a beer while I’m in town.

See you in Ohio!

I’m not sure why the McCain campaign has decided to suspend campaign activity to work on economy bailout issues. I mean, I thought Barack Obama had a great response about being able to multi-task and work on the economy debate while meeting with voters. Apparently McCain cannot do the same.

It still remains to be seen whether or not McCain will show up at the debate Friday night. I can see “some” logic to wanting to push the debate up a bit further… mostly because this is the debate where he will dominate Obama. Obama doesn’t have a chance in debating McCain on foreign policy and team Obama knows it. Which is why they are probably hoping to get this first debate out of the way as quick as possible.

But the McCain folks likely want it

Last week, while in Las Vegas, I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Kevin Farley and Myrna Sokoloff of the upcoming film An American Carol.

After having a wonderful lunch with Farley, the main character in the movie, and Sokoloff, the story writer, I became convinced that the folks behind An American Carol are top notch, free-market minded, and extremely deserving of the help of center-right activists and online professionals throughout social media realms.

It was made clear that An American Carol
