Casting Call: Julian Assange.

Given that we saw a big screen film about the guy behind Facebook of all things I'm sure we'll see a big screen Hollywood film about Wikileaks.  Reading an article about Julian Assange today in Forbes magazine a thought came to mind about who should play him in that film:  Neil Patrick Harris.  Harris looks close enough to Assange for Hollywood.  Whether he can do a convincing Australian accent is another question.

What A Maroon.

Tom Flanagan has long been a fixture on the Canadian right.  I've never had much time for  him, and his latest comment doesn't help.  Last night he stated on a CBC News program that the Americans should assassinate troublesome Wikileaks head honcho Julian Assange.  He later retracted it.  But I wonder, is he trying to get the attention of Fox News?  That sounds like the kind of thing one of their pathetic pundits like Glenn Beck would say.  Somehow I doubt this will work as an audition, as I doubt they pay attention.
