Glenn Kirschner on “Theater of the Absurd” – an then on attorney-client privilege
Chris Hayes and guest on Rudy – a couple of days old – but priceless.
“Cool, Considerate Men” from “1776.” No CC, but here are the lyrics This was cut from the movie because Nixon made Jack Warner cut it. But it was still available on the sound recording of the Broadway production. Now you can see it.
Beau on changes in border policy – More detail (and I think more optimism) from Beau than from The Damage Report yesterday
Beau – Yes, the SEALS could use an image makeover (deeper than that actually) Looks like they are getting one.
