Month: July 2006

Yet again, another must-read bit of reporting, and yet again, Rolling Stone is the only place that will carry it.

Read this. Now.

Iran: The Next War.

Chilling quote from one of the Neocons in the article:

“The only way we are going to win this war is to bring down those regimes in Tehran and Damascus, and they are not going to fall as a result of fighting between their terrorist proxies in Gaza and Lebanon on the one hand, and Israel on the other. Only the United States can accomplish it […] There is no other way.”

For those who haven’t figured it out yet — if we can get US or allied troops in Lebanon, the map of the region will look like this:

US/Allied Troops —- Syria—–US/Allied Troops (in Iraq) —- Iran —– US/Allied Troops (in Afghanistan)

….and we’re sabre-rattling about Syria and Iran. Coincidence?

Sure…just as much a coincidence as the fact that the above route just happens to be a perfect line-up for a pipeline from Afghanistan to ships in the Med.

…..and BANG! We’re off.

The cast list for the Chess Match was released today, and and I are on it. So, at the very least, we’ll be at KCRF doing that — first meeting is this Sunday A.M.

We’ll need to tell the Chess Match directors the characters that we’ll be portraying….which are the characters that we’ll be doing in a Lane Act with , assuming that our meeting with the E.D. goes well (and it’s looking very positive so far).

Very busy this weekend: Thursday is All-Call. I’ve been asked to teach Improv One and Improv Two for the Academy — which is this weekend and next. Plus Sunday’s Chess Match thing. Yikes.

This weekend, then: Thursday: All-Call in Independence. Friday: Academy 7 to 9pm-ish in Independence. Saturday: Academy 9a to Noon in Independence. Sunday: Chess Match rehearsal, 10 to 12:30 at the Festival Site in Bonner Springs….and then Academy in Independence from 1 until about 4-ish. Monday: Academy, 7 to 9pm-ish, Independence.

Yikes….and more Academy next Friday through Monday.

Busy busy busy.
