Dear Sec.Clinton & Sen. Sanders

Good Afternoon;

One of you was a First Lady, US. Senator & Secretary of State, the other was a distinguished & innovative Mayor and a widely respected member of the House and now the Senate.

You are both smart, forward thinking and compassionate.  You both care about lifting all portions of the economy, you both support our troops, you are both pro-choice, pro health care and pro including the LGBT community in the full communion of the American dream.

One of you is going to face either Donald Trump or Raphael Cruz in the fall. It is going to take both of you to bring your supporters along in that battle.

So, do me a favor.

Knock it the fuck off.  Stop the bullshit.  Stop the name calling. Stop the "outrage".  Stop asking for "apologies" from each other.  Stop sending your surrogates onto TV to trash talk the other side and then sending someone else out to walk it back with back handed compliments.

Just stop it now!

Go back to battling about ideas and visions and issues.

You are both more qualified the any of the GOP contenders.  You both have better ideas.

Just stop, at long last I am begging you just stop.

You are pissing me off and you DO NOT WANT TO PISS OF Donald C. Flad Jr. It is not pretty and no one ever recovers from it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Your once and future supporter.

The Deflowering of Mr. Pettet

Clayton Pettet will not be call this number he has a better idea

A 19 year old British art student giving up his preciousness  for his art.  Actually Clayton Pettet will be having full on sex on stage and giving up his "virginity" in front of an audience.

Young Mr. Pettet says he has been thinking since he was 16 about the best way to make this special moment even more special.  The art student and another unidentified young man with take to the stage and have sex until completion.

Mr. Pettet wants to question how society defines "virginity".  He says it means different things to people in his case he defines losing his virginity by becoming the receptive partner during anal intercourse.

The articles I have read about this have not disclosed a place, date or time.  I assuming that Clayton Pettet's official deflowering will take place in London.

I will update you when I learn more details.

LIKE A VIRGIN by Madonna

A New Company From Sondheim

American musical theater divinity Stephen Sondheim is revising his iconic 1970 musical Company. with the help of director John Tiffany.  The show which swept the Tony awards after it's initial opening went on to win revival Tony's in 1995 and again in 2007.


Many theater writers and show fans have often thought if we followed Bobby's life beyond the place where Mr. Sondheim and book writer George Furth left him his struggles with relationships and women was because he was really struggling with his sexuality we would find that Bobby really was gay.

Mr. Sondheim has decided to follow that path with this re-write - changing the gender of some of the characters and some of the song lyrics and dialogue.  One significant change is the character Joanne who will forever be linked to Elaine Stritch who sings "The Ladies Who Lunch" was played by Tony winner Alan Cummings during recent readings.



The Roundabout Theater Company is considering bringing this new version to the stage in the future

Tokyo Wins!

Congratulations to Tokyo for winning the bid to host the 2020 Olympiad.  There were three interesting choices this year with Madrid and Istanbul being the runners up.


The Olympic committee could have made a bold statement by choosing the first country with a majority Muslim population to hold the games but instead they decided this year to be safe.

Istanbul certainly would have made an interesting and exciting choice, perhaps the voters were showing a bit concern because Turkey is on the cusp of the tinder box that is the Middle East.
 

Madrid would have been scenic and beautiful choice but Spain is broke.  On the other hand bringing the Olympics to Spain would have been a long term boost to the moribund Spanish economy.



In the end everyone know the Japanese will get the games up and running and ready ahead of time, under budget and make it the most efficient games since......forever.


Well done you! Tokyo Olympic Committee.
