ONE Rea$on Democrats and Hollywood Have a Romantic Attachment

ONE Reason Democrats Keep Getting Hollywood Support

The LA Times is reporting that Joe Biden's ties to the Hollywood establishment aren't all about the environment, same sex marriage, or wage equality.  They're about dollars.  Presidential candidate Joe Biden has a long-time relationship as trade ambassador for the movie industry, and a long-time connection as a mouthpiece for Jeffrey Katzenberg (known for DreamWorks Animation) and others when negotiating deals to get American movies seen in China. The lowdown is in the story found here:

Of Nickels and Half Dimes

The other day I was looking at my small coin collection and I noticed that I had an 1866 Indian Head Penny. I became interested in this penny that was almost 3 times as old as I was, and decided to do a search on the computer for the year 1866.  Among the things I found was information on another coin - the nickel.  I learned that prior to the 1860's America's 5 cent piece was called a Half Dime.  In the 1860's nickel mining interests succeeded in getting the government to coin a new 5 cent piece using the metal they mined.  The new coin featuring a nickel alloy was introduced.  The Half Dime faded into the past and the new kid on the block - the nickel - replaced it!
