Git Along Lil Doggies
Laboratory Theater’s newest work is a meditative, cowboy dance-drama about the spiritual imprint of the windswept landscape of the American west. In an impressionistic narrative drawn from a variety of sources, two outlaws on the trail of an old adversary take work as jewel thieves for a washed up brothel madam. In a chance encounter with a traveling magician, they locate their enemy and conjure the violent forces of nature through sex-magic to take revenge. Thursday, October 14. 8 p.m. $18. 575 Metropolitan Avenue, The Brick Theater.
babs, most of the rest of thecountry already views New York as a looneybin.
Unfortunately, dibs, it seems that there are no rational Republicans left – a Republican House and Senate = a gang of crazies whose ultimate goal is anarchy and repression of vast numbers of people, making many of our lives hell and causing the US to totally lose face with the rest of the world. It was bad enough being a laughingstock under Bush/Cheney – this would be even worse – at least one of those two would seem to have an IQ in the triple digits (although used for evil purposes). Tea Partiers not so much.
You need to learn how to play the game, Cobble. You have to pick one of them (as if they were the last two people in the world.)
You’re not being a good sport today, just a cranky witch. 😛
Right you are M4L.
OOPS, trying to do too many things at once.
Carry on.
DIBS, I sleep with BH. I really don’t need to look any further! But I will tell you that I would never ever ever sleep with a politician!
None that you’re conscious of *rob*. But that’s OK, many people spend their entire lives in denial.
And, hopefully, no, Paladino wouldn’t be able to do much of anything as governor, but isn’t knowing that if he could do those things he would enough to keep you from voting for him?
In reality, I don’t expect either candidate to be able to irreversibly change everything as Governor – it’s more the image of NYS as another Tea Party looneybin I’m concerned about.
log-cabin Republicans make me laugh out loud. . . .
DCB, cobble lives in Cobble Hill, not Clinton Hill
The judicial and legislative check, cobble. Same reason we need to elect a republican House & Senate to keep Obamanomics in place.
