Political Musings

Re:Democrats who promise us something then always fail to do it.


We always say we must support a Democrat because Republicans are worse. The real problem is that unless we back up our threats to take financial action ( i.e. NO more $$$) or to really "sit it out in the next election" they will never be induced to get serious. A Hobbesian choice we will all have to address soon!


Re: Obama's State of the Union speech mentioning repeal of "dont' ask don't tell":


Hope springs eternal but I honestly think he will screw us over again. If he was truly serious, he has the power to order a halt to all "trials& investigations" as the Commander In Chief until the policy is reviewed.

Frontal male nudity in plays in NYC and about those musical revivals!:

I wonder if some playwrights use nudity to cover up their inability to write an engrossing play. Don't  get me wrong I do enjoy male nudity on stage if, naturally, the body is sweet. My point is that I usually think the script must be weak if a body(s) is bared in a production. It is as if the writer is saying, "I can't get my audience excited by my words so let me go for the money shot!" My comment to you: Engage the organ between my ears not, the one between my legs if you want to really impress me!

About the numerous revivals of musicals on Broadway:

Are you admitting no one can write anything new anymore? It seems as if Broadway is currently having more "revivals" than any evangelical church down South.
