For a while, I thought I was America’s greatest conservative playwright, mainly because I thought I was America’s only conservative playwright. Then David Mamet indicated he was at least somewhat conservative, so I dropped to second best. is this man Reynolds really a conservative? I may get taken down another notch.

Idunno. It's getting some tentative rotation on pro-life email lists. Caveat Emptor.

On the other hand, if the discussion is anything besides the monolithic left wing theater party line, it's probably worth seeing.

Did you see Mamet's Race? (I didn't, wondering how it was).

From the city that brought you blah blah blah

Struck a nerve, did I? Sheesh, I apologize. The Big Apple has given us so much in the Arts and have asked so little in return.

Therefore every piece of crap that appears off-off Broadway is to be treated with kid gloves and revered as the expression of the tortured human soul that it is.

Meanwhile, Cats remains one of the all time box office boffos.

And, I'm sorry to inform, that when a touring version of Urinetown did condescend to visit my little jerkwater corner of Terra Firma, I actually enjoyed it.

Nighty-night.
