“Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden in a recent visit to the Bay Area a few days ago endorsed Abram Wilson (shown here with his wife Dr. Karen Wilson) the Republican Candidate running in the sharply contested 15th District Assembly Race in Contra Costa, Alameda, Sacramento, and San Joaquin Counties. This seat, the most contested legislative district in Northern California, has a 2% registration difference between Republicans and Democrats – Biden’s endorsement could put the African American Mayor of San Ramon over the top.” And – if you believe that – I have some swampland in Florida to sell you.

But we hear now, for the sequel, Terrence is out and Don Cheadle is in. The new movie is suppose to have an even bigger role for the Jim Rhodes character. Was it money, was it something else that caused this move? We'll keep you updated and hope there was no "stealing" of acting roles going on.
