The political drama based on the 2008 presidential campaign is becoming another one of HBO’s controversial new films with Julianne Moore starring as Sarah Palin.

I was once friends with an outrageous comedian whose go-go-go personality was manic (as shrinks would describe it) and inspiring (to artists, anyways). He was driven, ballsy and on the constant move, creating his own video segments, playing pranks on people (which he even sold to a network and launched his own career), and doing things not many people would be able to pull off.
