Like you really care, but here's my $0.02 on The Lysistrata Project.

First of all, if the theatre community (of which I'm a member), really cared, they wouldn't do it on an off-night.

Second, the Arab countries we want to protect from American imperialism burn effigies and storm the streets when they protest something. Doing a reading of an ancient Greek play is the pussiest form a protest I've ever seen.

Third, who's coming to the readings? The people who are already on your side. Take it to the streets, dammit.

Now, I may not be one to talk -- I haven't marched yet due to my school schedule. However, I've written my congressman, I've maintained this Web site, and I've let forth as much as I can to whomever I meet who is for a war in Iraq. I sure as Hell think reading a play to other liberals is too pretentious and self-righteous to be a worthy form of protest.

In other news, over at Howard Dean's Web site, there's a transcript of his speech to the Democratic National Committee. Choice quote: "I am Howard Dean. And I'm here to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." Dean is the only Democratic candidate worth a Goddamn, and if this speech doesn't prove it to you, you're a fucking Republican.
