Katha Pollitt reviews some stagings of Lysistrata (puke alert)

This reads like Liz Smith. Hopefully celibacy will continue to sweep the Left and thin out their ranks. Wasn't the Brooklyn Academy of Music one of the groups that obtained six-figure sums (to "compensate for their decline in philanthropic receipts") from the 9/11 victims' families funds?

ASH-housewares ALERT bump **grin**

Looks like little Katha Pollit has got a soft spot for our own Annie Coulter! (soft in the head, that is) :-)

[Romulus]

Comedies, after all, are about reversals of the usual order.

Actually, no. Though the preliminary reversals do provide a sort of catharsis, comedy is ultimately about restoration of right order.

[amused]

Hopefully celibacy will continue to sweep the Left and thin out their ranks.

Not to mention cutting down on abortions and new cases of STD's. These are good things, let's encourage them.

[an amused spectator]

If yew n' me were cultured n' stuff, lack Miz Katha here, we cuud write intelligent stuff like this-here column, too.

All is woe, though - we are doomed to be ignerent red-necks, unlettered conservative buffoons and peasants, till the end of our days.

[an amused spectator]

Hey! Just a minute! I got here first, doppelganger! ;-)

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Nobody can resist an ancient Greek dick joke

Charming.

leave the other side stuck with Confederate flags, Bible study and bigoted prom queens like Ann Coulter.

Spoken like an elitist who's never been off of either coast.

[an amused spectator]

Hey! Did Katha Pollit say that you could use "catharsis" in your post, pal? ;-)

[an amused spectator]

Heh-heh. Katha said "dick". Heh-heh.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Heh-heh that was cool he-he-he-he-he

[amused]

Hey! Just a minute! I got here first, doppelganger! ;-)

Hey you were supposed to be left for dead while I took your place!

Damn mercenaries working on the cheap...oh well you get what you pay for...sorry about that, I hope we can still be friends ;-)

[an amused spectator]

Well, they did leave me for dead, but he just mocked me and cleaned his nose out in my general direction, before taunting me a second time.

I guess we can congratulate our own illiterate selves for picking out such a swell screen nom-de-guerre. (say, are we allowed to use French without asking Miz Pollitt?)

That dead, what a character!

Shhhhhhhh.....she's watching us.

Ever see the 'hotties' at an anti-war rally?

Anti-war women threatening to withold sex is like Carrot Top threatening to retire from show biz.

[montag813]

in which the women of Greece, led by the strong, intelligent and fearless Lysistrata, unite to withhold sex from their warrior husbands until they agree to end the Peloponnesian War

Hard to imagine the dimwit anti-war college females latching on to this, given that they are mostly "Girls Gone Wild" whores. However, it is very easy to envision ugly women such as Katha Politt and other feminists witholding sex from men, since they are mainly lesbians or fat, crusty nasties themselves.

[an amused spectator]

Just so's you know that me & amused weren't speaking ill of the dead.

Plus I thought you might like to get in on the mocking of the Pollitt (see, I spelled her name right TWICE in a row!) ;-)

[dead]

I had a pollitt on my ass, but I had out-patient surgery to remove it.

[an amused spectator]

You know the rules about you using hilarious verbal ripostes around here - your humor is considered a deadly weapon in 46 states. :-)

[an amused spectator]

OK, I tried not to, but I laughed anyway.
