On With the Show
I reckon that the London revue The Madness of George Dubya (NYT review, register as fmhreader) would do quite well in Gotham and a few other cities over here. Elsewhere riots might ensue.
Another Times story on TV news coverage of the war, (citing the research of Andrew Tyndall) notes that Nielsen numbers for the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) Nightly News fell during the war's first two weeks. Audiences went for cable and the Web instead. I didn't see any evening news during this war -- Theo makes me watch The Simpsons instead. Come to think of it, I only had TV war coverage on three or four times, unlike in 1991. Now Web and radio more than sufficed.
While the war in Iraq is not over until the President says so, -- is that a sufficient condition? -- news of the fall of Tikrit to US forces suggests there will not be a Gotterdammerung final stand by the Ba'ath. For which much thanks. And if the Administration is serious about a possible breakthrough on a Palestinian state, this might be a good time for hawks to stop banging the Iraqi-WMD-are-in-Syria-now drum.
Yes, the title of this page is indeed subtly changed "into something rich and strange". Answers: a) in a dream; b)last night and again this morning; c) Ariel in The Tempest;...now where can I find an image of a heifer in a vinyl bustier?
