Skeletons Swinging Swords: A Fitting Tribute to Ray Harryhausen
By David Moye - AOL News(May 24) -- A Hollywood special effects wizard is the subject of a very special exhibit. Ray Harryhausen, who helped pioneer and refine stop-motion animation for films like "Mighty Joe Young," "Jason and the Argonauts" and the original "Clash of the Titans," is the subject of "The Fantastical Worlds of Ray Harryhausen," an exhibition on display at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) gallery in Beverly Hills, Calif. Harryhausen is considered a major influence on filmmakers like George Lucas and Peter Jackson, and exhibit curator Ellen Harrington says his work not only ...
Proof Surfaces of Hillary's Bosnia Claims
By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyReal-life footage has surfaced that proves Sen. Hillary Clinton's claims that she, Chelsea, Sheryl Crow, Sinbad and Gary Busey dodged sniper fire and other dangers on their 1996 peacemaking trip to Bosnia. Sen. Clinton has recently come under heavy criticism from political opponents--including Sinbad--who claim that she is exaggerating this trip's threat-level (and importance) to prove her foreign policy mettle.In this breaking footage, we see clips of Hillary dodging bullets and skirting land mines. We see her brandishing a gun. We see her hugging Bosnian children. We see her... actually, ...
'Sleep-Deprived'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThat's how Hillary Clinton explains away her error in the way she has painted her arrival in Tusla, Bosnia in 1996:"I don't know what I was thinking," she said. "I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke."First off, Clinton has repeatedly described her role in Bosnia in a similar light while on the campaign trail. Here's CBS News:But what is also truly precious about this defense is the way it dovetails with her ad about answering that red phone at 3 a.m. In the now-famous ad, President Hillary Clinton takes the middle of the night call still fully dressed. Presumably the workaholic Clinton has ...
Hillary Ducking Sniper Fire
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyA firefight has erupted over "Sinbad-gate," or the differing accounts of Senator Hillary Clinton's trip to Bosnia in 1996 with the "Star Search"-winning comic and singer Sheryl Crow. On the Clinton conference call yesterday, for the first time, Howard Wolfson admitted Hillary "...might possibly have misspoken." As reported here last night, Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor released a statement pointing out that inaccuracies in prepared remarks are not misstatements, but rather "misleading." Then, at today's conference call, Phil Singer referred the first question on this to yesterday's transcript. ...
Resume Padding, Clinton-Style
By David Knowles - Politics DailyFrom CBS News:Okay. Lots of people do it, right? Shooting for that big job, you take a few liberties in describing your job history. With a few keyboard strokes you go from "gas station attendant" to "internal combustion engine fuel specialist." An after school job behind the counter at Dairy Queen morphs into "dietary consultant." A mundane, ceremonial trip to Tusla, Bosnia--with the aid of creative visualization--is recast as proof of pressure under fire. Songs and photo ops are replaced with sniper fire and hit-the-deck urgency.Experts on resume padding are largely in agreement:It seems ...
Update: Clinton 'Possibly Misspoke' on Bosnia
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyEarlier this week, Senator Hillary Clinton defended herself against charges from comedian Sinbad that she had gilded the lily regarding a trip to Bosnia as First Lady. On Saturday, the Washington Post ran an article that seems to settle the question in favor of Sinbad:Hillary Clinton has been regaling supporters on the campaign trail with hair-raising tales of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996. In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, President Bill Clinton, could not go because they were "too dangerous." When her account was challenged by one of her traveling ...
Sinbad Refutes Clinton's Bosnia Claims
By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyBack in 1996, Sinbad, the actor and comedian (A Different World, Jingle All the Way) accompanied then-First Lady Hillary Clinton on what she is calling a "harrowing" trip to Bosnia. According to Sinbad (born David Adkins), the most "harrowing" part of the trip--which included foreign-policy heavyweights Chelsea Clinton and Sheryl Crow--was figuring out where to eat next. In an interview with The Sleuth, he said, "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'" Sinbad, an admitted Obama supporter, has become an unlikely defender of the Illinois Senator against ...
