I was looking up an old Irish punk band, Ciunas, and came across some excellent pics by Wally Cassidy. The girl on the right looks like Sinead O’Connor. Anyone else agree?
Never mind that.

What you may need to know:
1. Johnny Depp is Tonto, and the dude who played the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network (2010) is The Lone Ranger, although he doesn’t get a look in.
2. No ‘hi-ho Silver and away’? No William Tell overture? What’s going on here?
3. Lone Ranger was briefly shelved prior to production, while they pared down the budget. Word suggests it still cost $250 million.
4. Oscar-winning filmmaker Gore Verbinski won his Acadamy Award for another Johnny Depp western, Rango (2011).
5. Yes, Johnny Depp has a crow on his head. Why? Because he’s Johnny Depp.
6. They might as well have called it Tonto.

PBS is a non-profit television network and home to Sesame Street.
The station is 50 per cent funded from private donations and the rest from government subsidies. By law, its news output is required to be fair and balanced.
Which is where Mitt comes in.
About 30 minutes into the verbal contest between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the former governor explained that he would cut what he considers non-essential items in the budget, including cuts to PBS, which employs debate moderator Jim Lehrer.
“I’m sorry Jim. I’m gonna stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m gonna stop other things,” Romney said. “I like PBS, I like Big Bird, I actually like you too.”
At that point, someone in the Twitterverse responded by creating a @FiredBigBird account, which within minutes] had almost 9,900 followers.
“I worked with Big Bird. I served with Big Bird. You, sir, are no Big Bird,” The Lance Arthur, @thelancearthur, of San Francisco tweeted.
