Looks like I finally have something in common with Congress

A fella named Petrelis writes:
The gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" continues to rake in the buck at the box office. According to BoxOfficeMoJo.com its earned more than $106 million in domestic and worldwide release so far.

If that kind of money isn't enough to persuade Hollywood to make more gay-themed movies for both the gay community and other moviegoers, nothing will.


Oh, would to that it 'twere.

Petrelis goes on to look at the response to the film in of all places Congress where, by an unbelivable coincidence,
> They swear it has nothing to do with “Brokeback Mountain,” but a group of Senators, mostly from cowboy country, has introduced a resolution designating July 22, as “National Day of the American Cowboy.”


Probably predictably, few members of Congress will comment on the film, and those that will all seem to make a point of mentioning that they haven't seen it. Of course, niether have I.
