These are our kind of filmmakers

2005 Liberty Film Festival was held this October 21-23, 2005 in West Hollywood. Just reviewing the list of films will make you feel better. (expands on post from Tobermory).

Newt weighs in.

Newt Gingrich was a great backbencher in the 80's and helped change America (mostly for the better) with the "Contract with America" congressional victory in 1994. He picked the wrong fights when he got in charge & he should have held off on the book deal, but he knows what he's talking about. (Unfortunately he does still believe government can solve problems.) Nonetheless he seems quite reasonable these days and voices my thinking on Bush's nomination of Miers quite succinctly. There is no way Bush will nominate a "Souter" - Newt G.

We've all heard of being attracted to men in uniform...
