HA! "So liberal and openminded, that their brains have fallen out!" I love that! I know a few.
Do you read Robert Parker, John Sandford, or Janet Evanovich?
Two of my favorite movies are: My Cousin Vinny and Con Air.

I read them all. I love "Con Air" and I will have to put "My Cousin Vinny" on my must see list.
