Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan came to our Conservative Bloggers’ Briefing today at Heritage. To put it simply, he was awesome. I’ll write more about Hoekstra later this week; I wanted to highlight a few other things that came up today. First of all, if you live in the Washington, D.C., area I hope you’ll check out the film “Indoctrinate U” at the Kennedy Center this Friday. Secondly, Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com has increased the prize money to $125,000 for anyone who can prove humans cause global warming. I wrote about the challenge last month.
