Yesterday, When I received an email from Thrater of War announcing that they are doing a performance in Times Square, i must admit my jaw dropped. It’s to be on the Red Steps, which didn’t exist the last ttime I was in NUC around 1970, so I looked it up, and yeah, I guess that’s a venue. But even in the evening I would expect there to be a whole lot of people in and around Times Square who are not there to see a performance. The play is Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” (which is analogous to the ttrue story of CoViD and Dr. Fauci), and the cast will include Bill Murray. It will be Zoomed (and no, you don’t need to download Zoom to watch. You would if you wanted to comment. I don’t have Zoom, nor do I have awebcam nor a working microphone and I receive their transmissions just fine.) I will tryto watch it – it’s next Wednesday, so if next Thursday’s Open Thread is a bit skimpy, you will know why.\u00a0 Also yesterday, I came across a new nickname “Rip van Stinkle.”\u00a0 (It couldn’t have been thought of before the trial.)<\/p>\n
Well, clearly they don’t wait until someone’s on the Supreme Court<\/a> without starting to buy them up. I know, that comes as no surprise.<\/p>\n Also clearly we can look forward to another Senator who pulls no punches<\/a>. (But I will still miss Katie and Barbara.)<\/p>\n
