On Sunday I joined a group of 8 Libertarians from the Libertarian Party of Arkansas to view Atlas Shrugged. We went to a megaplex in west Little Rock after lunch at the Outback.

Predictably, to a man (and woman) leftists like Roger Eber and Maureen Dowd have hammered the movie. Righty reviewers are all over the map. P.J. O’Rourke wasn’t impressed. But Ed Continue reading Celebrating the release of Atlas Shrugged with some ragin’ Arkansas Libertarians We are trying to get a group together of LPAR members and friends to go see Atlas Shrugged at the Rave Motion Pictures Theater on 18 Colonel Glenn Plaza Drive at 1:45pm!
