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.
I agree it’s good theatre! I know I can count on Carl “Crack Pot” Paladino to make some absurd statements! Maybe he got a handful of votes, maybe, but I think he’s setting a terrible example.
Please, you think Carl is less of a crook? The guy is dirty. I’m patient. It will come out.
The most hypocritical thing that Paladino said is that he is a “live and let live kind of guy”–unless you are gay and want to have the same legal rights as straight people.

Truth be told, he probably got all the Democrat Italian votes in Staten Island away from Cuomo with those statements!!!! LOL
and everyone in the projects as well.
*rob*
wait, no. i guess you can encourage it which is sadly what a lot of people do. i meant to say that you cant go the other way, like make people like you if they already don’t. it just doesnt work that way and it’s why gay people should just not give a crap
*rob*
cobble, you cant encourage homophobia. people either like gays or they don’t. i think the guy is a total loser a-hole, but i could care less what he thinks of gay people. politians are all horrible.
*rob*
Actually cobble, it makes for good theatre!!!! Truth be told, he probably got all the Democrat Italian votes in Staten Island away from Cuomo with those statements!!!! LOL
Like I’ve said, NYS is totally dysfunctional, more so than any gays. If you want Sheldon Silver to remain in power, then vote for Cuomo. Besides, I’m sure all the old guys are secretely homphobic anyway.
Somehow 9:56 doesn’t really explain to me how you could vote for him. But I respect your ability to make compromises and I guess in way there is something refreshing about wedge politics being rejected.
Is anyone going to the Gowanus Gala????
So, DIBS, are you saying that Carl “Crack Pot” Paladino’s homophobia is ok with you?
Given the violent anti-gay attacks over the weekend and many other recent attacks, do you think it’s ok for our “political leaders” to encourage homophobia?
