Heath Ledger | "Keith" Ledger Hung Self In Last Movie Roll
I'm not sure where the connection is exactly, but it's too interesting a matter to pass on.
Oh, some people refer to Heath as "Keith" so I thought I'd play along.
It seems that in playing his last movie roll, the uncompleted The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Heath Ledger was to hang himself, as these photos from Just Jared show, and was rescued. I know know if the preparation and execution of that role had anything to do with what happened to him, but it's a fair question to ask, indeed. There are more photos , and this one was the "tamest" of them all. Under the circumstances, I didn't want to post the others.
On the matter of his character, I don't know much, but Wikipedia reports...In the contemporary period, 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) leads a traveling theater troupe and offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession.[1] Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil (Tom Waits), who now comes to collect on the arrangement,[2] targeting the doctor's daughter (Lily Cole). The troupe, who is joined by a mysterious outsider (Heath Ledger), embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl.[3]
More on all of this, soon -- now there are reports of drug use.
Obama Lawyer Claims Clinton Nevada Violations - Brietbart.com
These series of reports have come hot and heavy in emails and blogs, but this is the first report where a legal representative has gotten involved. According to Brietbart.com, Barack Obama's lawyer has sent a letter to the Nevada State Democratic Party head regarding alledged violation of election laws during the Nevada Primary. Brietbart reports ...
The letter to Nevada Democratic Chairwoman Jill Derby from Obama lawyer Robert Bauer lists instances of early door closings, obstruction of voters, and improper handling of voter preference cards. Obama aides said the campaign has received more than 1,600 complaints, including 300 that came in to a hotline at the time of the caucuses.
Bauer said the campaign is not challenging the outcome of the caucuses at the precinct level, but he asked Derby to conduct an inquiry into the Clinton campaign tactics during the caucuses. The campaign offered to provide the names and contact information of the individuals making the complaints as well as unedited copies of their accounts.
The Clinton campaign has also complained about behavior at the caucuses. On Sunday, Clinton senior adviser Dave Barnhart said he witnessed an enormous "gantlet" of Obama supporters at the Mirage casino-hotel caucus site who tried to intimidate Clinton backers.
Attached to the Obama complaint was an instruction sheet that Bauer's letter attributed to the Clinton campaign. The sheet offers guidance on how to persuade caucus goers to caucus for Clinton.
One line states: "It's not illegal unless they tell you so."
"This certainly suggests that, for the Clinton campaign, the operative standard was, simply and only, what it could get away with," Bauer wrote.
The letter complained that the Clinton camp distributed a caucus guide to supporters that said caucus site doors would close at 11:30 a.m. The party's rules stated that caucuses would be called to order at 11:30 a.m. but said attendees had to be signed in by noon.
Wow. From NH to Nevada and on, one pattern emerges: the Clinton's do not play fair.

Hillary Clinton Slamed Both Martin Luther King & Gandhi
Hey, I'm not kidding here, folks. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has managed to insult the two most important leaders of peace in our time during her presidential run.
You're aware of her terrible comments basically de-valuing the impact of Martin Luther King in an effort to make the role of the President seem even more important than what Dr. King did, knowing full well that Presidents almost never act until they have the will of the people, and in this case that was caused by Dr. King's work and suffering.
But did you know Senator Clinton also said this:
During an event here for Senate candidate Nancy Farmer, Clinton introduced a quote from Gandhi by saying, "He ran a gas station down in St. Louis."
After laughter from many in the crowd of at least 200 subsided, the former first lady continued, "No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century." In a nod to Farmer's underdog status against Republican Sen. Kit Bond, Clinton quoted the Indian independence leader as saying: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
The director of a U.S. center devoted to Gandhi's teachings said the remarks amounted to stereotyping and were insensitive.
The point is that Senator Clinton has a habit of slamming leaders that are important to people outside her circle of interest, either racially or from a gender perspective. Take how she recently referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin; she called him "Souless." Why?
Her judgement is more than questionable. It's nuts.
