What, was the Texas Legislature on vacation? Was nothing tragi-comic hap=
pening in Alabama or Georgia? The commissioners of Rhea County, Tennesse=
e (founded, Rose and I believe, by the sisters Gonna and Diar) voted unan=
imously last week to ask the state legislature to enact a law that would =
enable them to ban gay people. Because, clearly, it was just a matter of=
time before the switch-hitters among us began flocking to Rhea County to=
work at the Lay-Z-Boy factory. Try and stop me; just try.
So, about a cinema verite of the Idaho Leg -- it could be much, much wors=
e. It could be that we didn't have great folks representing Moscow like =
Shirley Ringo and Tom Trail, who go some way towards balancing out the wi=
ng-nuts of the south. It could also be that Errol Morris was making the =
film rather than Frederick Wiseman. Picture "The Fog of Boise" featuring=
Laird Noh.
