How hard is it to prosecute George Bush? This is an amazing story. It reads like the synopsis of a John Grisham novel.

I believe brontosaurus existed and I want him back.
— my favorite quote so far from David McGee’s fabulous play, Mare Cognitum
The inherent problem with watching Wall-E is that almost every robot in that movie is at least fifteen times more adorable than you, or anyone you know, will ever be. Wall-E is the single cutest creature ever committed to film, Eve is a cute iPod-looking thing, and M-O steals the goddamn show in the very few scenes he in. Wall-E is an adorable movie, yes, but it’s so adorable that when it’s done, your date won’t be thinking about you — they’ll be thinking about seeing Wall-E again. You will have enjoyed yourself as well, but you’ll also have been officially cockblocked by a three-foot-tall metal box with no elbows.

I Have Written A Symbolic Poem
Champagne for my real friends
John McCain for my sham friends.
In the words of Adrian Mole, I think this is the sort of poem that could quite possibly bring the government to its knees.

Ok, F That.
HOW MANY FREAKING SHOWS DO I HAVE TO SEE FEATURING A MAN IN A BUNNY SUIT?
DONNIE DARKO DID IT FIVE YEARS AGO. AND IT WAS KINDA COOL WHEN THEY DID IT.
BUT SINCE THEN, EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO REPRESENT THAT PLIGHT OF MAN IN THE POST-POST MODERN ERA HAS DONE SO BY USING A MAN IN A BUNNY SUIT.
AND I HAVE HAD IT.
THE MAN IN THE SEQUINED UNCLE SAM SUIT DID NOT HELP EITHER.
Also, they re-wrote the play, translated it into Polish, and then translated it back into English and moved the monologues around. I mean, you can mess with Shakespeare to a certain point, but you don’t move the monologues around.
Also, Rory just pointed out to me that Lenox told Macduff to flee to England to find Siward, and then carried out Macbeth’s order to massacre Macduff’s family, and THEN he was the one to tell Macduff that his family had been massacred?
Also, the Thane of Fife had a wife, where was she?
Also, Malcolm: a drunk punk with a social conscience? Who takes his shirt off and dry-humps an exotic dancer in an Elvis costume?
I do have to give four stars to Wil Petre in a fake Osama Bin Laden beard.
