Tonight I will be seeing Nevada Rep's Cyrano de Bergerac. I was going to wait for tomorrow to try to post a review but something has come up. I don't think I'll need to review it. I've seen one other production at Hartnell College in Salinas a long time ago. I don't think it will be the kind of play I would end up saying much about. I received a curious letter in the mail today. I'll just say this. I know that online activity at work is monitored so to speak. If I were to be paranoid about it, I would worry about the fact that I read Dave McGowan but other issues seem to be of more importance. I guess there's no accounting for prurient interest. I have some fun with a friend from school by sending him a link to J. Orlin Grabbe's picture of the day, almost every day. Those pictures are quite amusing. So track them all you want. I'm not stopping. I think I really should take on this business, just to sell it to a buyer of my choice, and see the changes. There would be changes in that event. Alas, I suspect I don't have the leverage or the power, but one never knows, does one? Until then, other kinds of fun, under the cut.

So, how long has Osama bin Laden been in charge of U.S. foreign policy?
--Democratic Underground
The US game in Lebanon is hardcore. It involves $60 million support for a Hezbollah witchhunt operated by the Internal Security Force at the Interior Ministry; and generous, active support to al-Qaeda-affiliated Sunni jihadis. Once again the Bush administration is merrily playing al-Qaeda's game. Blowback will be inevitable.

The Useless Figurehead Blamer Sellout, Pt 2
The Situation makes the implicit case that the Green Zone’s isolated occupants have embarked on a course that involves no less than sociocide, the disintegration of Iraqi society.

Two Iraqi women risked their lives to make this film, recording what life is like for Iraqi civilians and the heroic efforts of Iraqi women doctors and nurses.

The Big Clock is officially une film noir but crosses over into light comedy so frequently that it can't be classified anywhere near the mainstream. The extremely clever script creates an exciting world inside a publishing company so modern it was probably considered futuristic in 1948. At the center of the plots and schemes is the deviously brilliant Charles Laughton, and Ray Milland is excellent as the executive who has to out-wit a frame-up from within and without at the same time. As the search for a killer slowly zeroes in on Milland, we get a taste of future paranoia in the corporate world, as well as a thrilling and hilarious puzzle picture.
--Glenn Erickson
Quick bits: Andrew Wickliffe seems to have the best take on All the President's Men we'll ever see, short of anyone describing Woodward (the spook) and Bernstein as disinformation agents. The man who has left the Platonic cave is never the same. I missed the anniversary of my first journal entry. It was actually done on Friday the Thirteenth.
