Only...Philip K. Dick was awesome, a multiple Hugo award winner and is widely regarded as one of the most relevant and important science fiction authors of all time.

Somebody go deliver Newt his Oxycontin and Viagra while wearing a gold necklace with a fish pendant quick! (Nobody will get THAT one, --MC.)

Oh dear... This post stirs a memory (I hate memories. They cause wrinkles)

Wasn't Newt the one who was obsessed about how people would have intercourse in space - the gravity and all?

In answer to the question asked: Philip K. Dick had "Dick" as part of his name. Newt Gingrich has "Dick" as part of his personality.
