For all of you who will be seeing the final installment of the Lord of the Rings over the next few weeks, here is an interesting article from today’s NRO. The actor who plays Gimli the dwarf (John Rhys-Davies, who is actually 6 foot 1, but photographed to appear half that) is a politically incorrect, western culture loving guy. It’s a good read.

I think I’ll sharpen up my axe when I get home today, out of solidarity.
