'Love and Other Drugs' is a twisted romantic comedy at the Galaxy Fandango
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 11/28/2010 - 6:37pm"Love & Other Drugs" is a sort of romantic comedy involving a drug salesman, Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) and an artist Maggie (Anne Hathaway) who is suffering from Parkinson's disease.

Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 9:01amWe have just witnessed political history on a scale that we may never see again…maybe at a level that no one will ever see again. Riding in on the back of the Tea Party and a message of limited government, the republicans have been given a second chance, but many questions arise. Will they blow it again? Will the Tea Party be able to keep their incredible enthusiasm for the next two years, or will they self-destruct through trivial differences like Ross Perot’s Independent Reform Party in the nineties?

Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 8:45amMonday's Advisory Committee Meeting included a lot of new details about the Nugget Project that we are still looking through.
