COLUMNIST ANN COULTER SHOCKS CABLE TV SHOW, DECLARING 'JEWS NEED TO BE PERFECTED BY BECOMING CHRISTIANS'

Quote

Slash-and-burn columnist Ann Coulter shocked a cable TV talk-show audience Monday when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian.

She has turned "jumping the shark" into an art form!

Having an interesting exchange with the head of NYMF. He asked for feedback, and he got it - 2500 words from me. One wonders how many he got back from BK, and how many of them are printable on a family-friendly site!

Ms Clark, as you know, won a Tony for her ~~affected~~ affecting performance in THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA and her investment in a lot of good PR. This leads to another LITP performer, David Burnham, who just called me with a job and who is now my new best friend.

Great news on the new job!

An Administrative Assistant of Northwest Folklife emailed about travel arrangements for my interview... wow, it may actually be a very classy operation!! I always loved the Festival, and now I'm gonna love the interview. They offered overnight accommodations for the Friday and Saturday eves I'll be there - so I don't have to shlep back and forth from the cabin in this weather. How very nice of them!

~~~Successful Interview Vibes for PennyO!!~~~

You mean you LIKED the stretched to the gills Davis Gaines?!?!?!? I normally love Davis' work, but, I can't watch his Anthony at all, someone should have found a better plastic surgeon. . .
And, I'll take Victoria Clark over Audra in this particular role, though, it would be interesting to see/hear Audra doing THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA.

A few years ago, Audra did a live concert that was broadcast on the Internet and she sang the title song to "The Light in the Piazza." She sang it beautifully...if you like Audra

which I do.

Hey, gang! I'm an old-time Kimlet/Hainesie who has been away for far too long. Don't know if I'll be able to drop in on a regular basis, but wanted to at least give a quick wave and say "hi!"

Nice to see you back, Elan!

I really don't have anything against Audra, I've seen her onstage in RAGTIME and in concert, BUT there are some roles which she is totally wrong for, The Beggar Woman in SWEENEY and Lizzie in 100 IN THE SHADE for starters...
On of the highlights of Audra singing in concert is her rendition of Frank Loesser's "Can't Stop Talkin' (about that man)."

My top choice should be MONOPOLY since I shelled out $1500.00 for the collector's edition complete with glass top, table and four matching chairs. Unfortunately, no one I know likes to play the game.

Other choices:

LIFE
PARCHESI
SORRY
SCATEGORIES - which is not as kinky as it sounds.
And I always wanted tp play DREAM DATE, but it was only for girls

'BULLIED' HOME SCHOOLER ARRESTED AFTER COPS FIND WEAPONS CACHE IN PENNSYLVANIA

The weapons found included a 9 mm assault rifle that the teenager's mother had recently bought for him, Castor said. Police also found about 30 air-powered guns, plus swords, knives, hand grenades, a bomb-making book, videos of the 1999 Columbine attack in Colorado and violence-filled notebooks. The weapons were plainly visible in the boy's bedroom, Castor said.
…
Authorities also found one working hand grenade and three others that were still being assembled.
...

Good Afternoon! Good Evening!

It's raining in NYC. A good soaking rain. And I have the soaking wet sneakers, jeans and book-bag to prove it! Thankfully, I had my umbrella with me, so at least most of myself stayed dry. But, yes, it's raining.

...And I had heard the UPS man come this morning, but wasn't sure what or to whom he was delivering. Well... It appears "the roomie" has bought an 8-bottle Wine Fridge for the apartment. Of course, the box and all the packing materials are "around" the kitchen table, and I'm thinking the fridge unit itself is probably in her room - which is really the only place it could go.

*Of course, we only ever keep 2-4 bottles of wine in the apartment at a time... And we never really buy anything that "demands" temperature-controlled storage. So... -And this is on top of the new bed frame, the new bedroom curtains and some new bedroom furniture, so... The rest of us talked a bit about all of this last night, and if it turns out that "SURPRISE!" he will be staying here for a while, well... As bk would say: Karma, baby, Karma!

Of course, the Home version may be somewhat less so.

Those aren't lemmings, those are rats. The lemmings only come out in the winter during snowstorms.

Very nice, and exciting. And nice to know they are still interested, the 2nd is a long time to wait for the interview.

What I want to know -- vis a vis Jose's ROOMMATE PROBLEM -- is what, if anything the "other" roomies have to say about all this.

Were any of you consulted? Was this ever something that had been discussed as a possibility for anyone wanting a live-in "friend"?

What, I wonder, would happen if the "other roomies" began walking around nude? What would happen if the "other roomies" began developing slovenly habits in common spaces?

What would happen if the "other roomies" pulled the egregious roommate aside and threw a shitfit?

What would happen, also, if you demanded the "live-in" start paying a "share" of rent for use of common space? That's "in addition to" the rent already being paid by the live-in's girlfriend.

DR elmore - Isn't there a place just around the corner from you that does transfers from one media to another? I swear I've walked by some almost-hole-in-the-wall shop in your 'hood.

Otherwise, a friend of mine just sent a bunch of his LPs and cassettes of some place that transfers them to CDs as well as converts into iPod-compatible files. I'll try and get the name of the company for you. -Although, I think he found it just by Googling.
