The true "baiting" was done by the questioner, Bob Schieffer, who asked whether the candidates thought homosexuality was something you're born, or the product of environment.

If it's environment, then, for much of prejudiced America, the Cheneys are "guilty" of raising their daughter in an environment that led her to lesbianism. I think this is pretty ridiculous. So does John Kerry, who said that if you talk to most homosexuals, they'll tell you they were born with certain feelings.

Mrs. Cheney keeps calling him a bad man, plainly, because she feels that she's done something wrong, raising a daughter the way she did. She subscribes to the environment theory (unlike Kerry) and doesn't like being reminded of the results of how she raised Mary.

All alone am I
Ever since your goodbye
All alone with the just the beat of my heart.

People all around
Still I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart.

Mr. BK said last night:

"If one wants a proper corned beef sandwich one must go to Langer's on Seventh and Alvarado."

Or one could just hop on Jet Blue and come to New York City

We have our own Seventh, granted it's an Avenue not connected to Alvarado but it's a long street filled w/delicious Jewish food.

I am currently listening to live streaming BBC Radio 3. Gershwin is Composer of the Week and they are reviewing Porgy and Bess at this moment. Previous to Composer of the Week, I listened to a recording of Orpheus and Euridice (sp). Since I know very little about opera and the various recordings I can't give more details other than it was the point where Orpheus looks back at Euridice and loses her. It sounded very well done. That's all I can say about it.

I have no plans for listening today. We have a busy day here. Also the last Saturday tomorrow. I will pop in and out for a break when the craziness gets too much.

Well, if Mrs Cheney would take the braces off her brain for one minute, perhaps she'd do some research: I subscribe to the genetic theory myself, moreso since the book BIOLOGICAL EXUBERANCE examined homosexual coupling through the animal realm. Benjamin Britten had three siblings, a brother and two sisters, of which one sister was gay, and there's some biographical intimation that Britten pere was bisexual. I would believe that 50% of the children were gay was through genetic patterns over the home environment.

Do enjoy your Astrud Gilberto CDs, BK! I just love her and own several of her CDs myself! Listening to her always puts me into such a good mood.

Chained for Life starring the Hilton sisters. Interesting movie!

Murder on the Campus: early 1930s mystery starring Charles Starrett...what a good looking guy he was as DR Elmore will agree.

VHS: Queer Eye, Desperate Housewives, Manhunt (which I thought was very dull, by the way).

CD: Nothing new, just listening to some World Groove.

Car: I actually listened to the radio this morning. Howsabout that!
Office: Still stuck on AOL Showtune station
VCR: Last night's Survivor and Apprentice for the Dear Partner.
DVD: Empty

Last night we presented the Rochester Philharmonic on our mainstage. The program was lovely, and not terribly challenging (a Mozart overture, some Brahms and Dvorak). But as we are one of the campuses celebrating what is called "The American Democracy Project" I had requested that they include something appropriate. The ADP is not concerned with rah-rah patriotism, but rather being a way to ingrain in students of a certain generation (namely the current one) ways in which they can become civically engaged. Volunteerism, voting (natch), and basically believing in something (oooh, a COMPANY reference). The ADP says nothing about its components being pro-America, or even American at all, but of course most have been. About America, that is.

At any rate, as their final piece, the RPO (Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, in Rochestnut lingo) chose to play a fairly new orchestral suite based on songs from 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. It was lovely. Not fabulous, but certainly lovely. I never have picked up A WHITE HOUSE CANTATA, but was familiar with "Take Care of This House" and "Lud's Wedding" from several recordings, but the final theme was based on ""To Make Us Proud," with which I was unfamiliar. It was very "Make Our Garden Grow," but still nice.
Overall, I don't think it works as an orchestral setting, but it was still nice to hear Bernstein's music.

It's a shame he didn't write more for the stage.

Well, this morning is laundry day, so I have to get into it before hitting the NYPL Theatre Collection. I have to go through clippings of BABES IN TOYLAND, 1903, which are crumbling to dust, for an account of the Act One Scene Three transformation scene, involving glowing chrysales, opening flowers, twinkling lights, as the scene moves from the Spider's Forest to The Floral Palace of the Moth Queen (they don't write 'em like this any more!). The two extant Glen Macdonough librettos say nothing about the stage effects at this point, although he's rather explicit about the opening shipwreck sequence. Even that was more graphic in production: the reviews mention stereopticon projections of angels and demons onto the backdrop.

I am thinking they were not the only siblings in the world who were/are both gay.

Hooray, I get off work at the hour of 11am! Then I must scurry home and mow the lawn before the rain hits. It has been such wonderful warm sunny weather this week but today will be the last of that for awhile.

My Bollywood movie for this weekend is: Aetbaar (2003) starring that hindu hunk John Abraham hot of his success in Jism. In this movie he falls in love with a lovely lass, but sadly her father does not approve.

In my VCR I have: last night's Joey, and the night before's Smallville.

And soon to be in my VCR: WED UPN night, Angels in America, and movies (A Guy Thing, Cold Creek Manor, Girl with a Pearl Earring, and probably a couple more I'm forgetting).

Good morning. I have tons to do, so I shall simply and briefly state that - YES - I should have gone to Art's (or anywhere other than Jerry's) - but I didn't think of it. If I feel like take-out at night, I just automatically head for Jerry's like a sheep following the herd off the mountain ledge. But as of now I stop this brainless practice, you hear, DRs? And I SWEAR - do you hear me? - SWEAR not to do it again. Hallelujah, brothers ans sisters, I am Cured!

Another comment on the THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT box set that I commented about yesterday. The three TE films have all been mastered for DVD with anamorphic enhancement, so those of us with widescreen TVs should see a substantially imrpoved picture. Since I went for the bonux disc first before watching any of the films (which I've seen dozens and dozens of times), I didn't notice that Warners had done this wonderful thing for widescreen TV owners. (There are the standard full frame versions of the films on the flips sides of the three DVDs.)

So, despite my peevish comment yesterday about their stinginess with their outtakes, I must give them a big thank you for doing this enhancement to the films themselves. I'll be watching III this afternoon.

I caught a bit of Ellen DeGeneres's show the other week. She was raving about Jerry's meatloaf.

One of the best local brands of corned beef and salami is Chicago 58. It's a Toronto company - they just like the name "Chicago." You find their meats at some of the better delis. I once thought I'd go to their factory (meatery?) and pick up something directly. The place turned out to be a dump - an old house on Lippincott Street (that's downtown Toronto). I walked through the door and into a smelly room that was empty save for a pair of old boots.
