It's getting scary.

According to some poll, Americans would like to see either Clint Eastwood or Oprah as president.

Dirty Harry (no, not THAT one) I can see, although his radical Libertarianism (Angie would love him!) goes too far, and he's been opposed to the war on terror (Iraq theatre). But Oprah? Say it isn't so.

However, those things pale compared to one little tidbit that goes by almost unnoticed:

Apparently, 27% of people think Hollywood is, politically, neutral. OK, fair enough, a quarter of people are morons. I get it. 42% of people recognize the truth: Hollywood is decidedly left-wing. But here's the really scary thing today: 5% (that's one in twenty for you other humanities majors) of respondants said that most hollywood films lean conservative. Who are these people, and which movies have they been watching?
