( I'll hide these behind here... )

I saw the show on Labour Day Weekend '06. Tim Howar, Chris Hanke (even though Matt Caplan is listed in the playbill I have), Jamie Lee Kirschner, Frenchie Davis et al. NYC was getting hit by the tailend of a hurricane that day too. Not that much different than right now...


Good times :o)

Rent closes in two days...

I saw this clip earlier: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/09/05/theater/20080905-rent-krulwich/index.html#

The story that the reporter tells is so touching and it's interesting to see the original cast in their original costumes (particularly Idina in the white boots ahem...)




ETA: You know what else I'm hoping is that John and Idina do a duet on the 14th... It probably won't happen though... I think that Idina is interested in the Phantom sequel... Her or Denise Van Outen (with JB or Hugh Jackman :P)? 'Kay now I've just weirded myself out... Going now...

delux_vivens reminded me of these.


White People Can't Understand Police Corruption

Just because you don't see a cop say n*gger doesn't mean they haven't done anything wrong. It's just privilege sure as hell showing because whites can afford to think of the police as their friends and the system as being for them- or at least they could if they weren't involved in protesting the war and getting beat the crap down in St. Paul for the RNC. And even that's not the same, the police there need to come up with some kind of excuse (however flimsy) to buss those asses. To bust a black ass?

1 - Driving while black.

2 - Driving in a 'too expensive car' while black (expensive being relative to the officer in question and his, sometimes her, perception).

3 - Walking while black.

4 - Standing on a street corner with age peers, while black (from ages 13 and up).

5 - Being black and requesting rights and equality.

6 - Being black and a sex worker.

7 - Being black and female and dressed up for clubbing.

8 - Being black and running away from gunshots.MORE

I'm thinking that based on the comments in the LJ threads that are being referred to? The "can't" in the headline should be changed to "refuse".

McCain's VP Pick : Palin and the Politica and Privilege of White Woman'hood/ Mommy'Hood

Sarah Palin wants to put herself out there as "every woman". She wants to be seen as “just your average hockey mom”, and other mommies see themselves and their reality reflected through Palin, except, mamis of color, that is.
The talk returns to mommy wars, not mami wars, because the entire conversation excludes Latinas and other moms of color. We are not even soldiers. Even for so called progressive white feminist, the war is fought by them and maybe, if mamis like me are lucky, we'll reap some benefit. When I was a pregnant teenager, in a Latin American country where abortion was and still is illegal(Chile), there was no opting out of pregnancy or working. Which is why the debate of how Palin could go back to work after having a baby with special needs or how a pregnant unmarried teenage daughter is being used, feels like a sideshow with little significance in reality. The politics of choice is being raised, with the emergence of a woman who is anti-choice, even in cases of rape or incest and with no talk of how for women of color, choice goes beyond an abortion and means the very right to have children (forget 5!) Imaginate if Michelle Obama had five children? Imaginate if one of the Obama children were older and pregnant? Imagine the hate and stereotypes that would be unleashed? Oh wait, I don't have to imagine, as a single mami of color, I live it. Palin's large brood isn't seen as a strain on the system. They are a beautiful portrait of an "American" family making every other family, families like mine, ugly.

And let's talk about the perceived double standard, that if a man had five children no one would be making a big deal of it, that men are held to a different standard, as stated in the video above. Claro if you take race out of the picture, it's easy to follow along, pero if Obama was the father to five instead of two children, you don't think the media and politicos would be making all sorts of references to black men and their hyper-sexuality? Or black men and responsibility? I hear no one telling Palin's husband to put on a damn condom. MORE

has anyone else noticed how Sarah Palin looks like a bad stripper from a 1980s video - the updo hair, the glasses and the frumpy, boxy suits? Wasn't there a 1980's Billy Idol video with a woman who looked like her?

I have today off, GO ME! But it's still a Gale A Day..so without further adieu...

Gale A Day-Day 3

Seeing as I gave you scruff yesterday, let's get back to some clean shaven Gale, and more, one of my favorite all time scenes..from Season 2, oh Brian, it's what you don't say that says everything...




And because I love this scene so much..you get two!




**sorry they are so small, I had to edit them with freakin' photobucket because for some strange reason my photo editing program is GONE, poof, totally gone from my computer.

Why in the world did Sarah Plain lie about this?

Honestly, if you lie about the unnecessary things is it any surprise that you lie about he big things? And you have the NERVE to try to impose your morals on the country.
