I knew this local gay activist, Marla. Turns out her girlfriend [may have, allegedly] embezzled $6 million,and they'd been donating a lot of it to Democrats and NPO's. E.g. Hillary, and was Andre Carson's biggest individual contributor. Happened to see this in a physical newspaper a roommate picked up. A blog has more.

I went to see the Tucker Max movie this morning (AM=$5 instead of $10.)
I liked it, as I had expected to, but there were only 2 other people there,so I'm not sure they'll be able to have their national big opening next week.
Went to see it again tuesday with some friends, who liked it. There were 2 other people in the theater for a total of 5.
It looks like the national release is getting cut way back, a few hundred theaters instead of 2000.
