A new conservative documentary, I WANT YOUR MONEY, which exposes the Big Government, socialist roots of the current economic crisis and calls for across-the-board tax cuts and massive spending cuts to revive America, held its premiere last night in Los Angeles.

The audiences of the Big Four TV networks are getting older, but as long as they’re beating each other in the ratings, they don’t care. As one anonymous executive put it, the networks “want younger viewers – but we also want high ratings, and you can’t get high ratings with just young viewers.”

I was in Berkeley watching HGTV's House Hunters International showing its long awaited segment on Costa Rica. A stunning American blonde with movie star good looks was showing luxurious, airy houses to eager clients -- and these were fantastic upscale places with all the amenities you could ever hope for including furniture and selling at a fraction of what they would over here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Memorial Day weekend is known for a few things, among them: the color white, BBQ, watermelon, sunshine, and high movie ticket sales. However, this past Memorial Day holiday weekend left many disappointed, with sales not only 14% down from last year’s holiday, but also recording the lowest Memorial Day revenue since 2001.
