Michelle Shocked's show in Evanston was canceled thanks to her rant in S.F.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I'm unpleasantly surprised that Michelle Shocked went off on a homophobic rant at all. Doing so in a traditionally LGBT-friendly city adds a shovel full of stupid to the bigotry. If it had to happen at all, I wish it had been someone whose music I liked less.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Will we soon hear about a rehab visit, I wonder?
Finding God was how she got sober.

I don't think it was stupid; I think it was willful and purposeful. She used to live in SF.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From people who were there:
“In retrospect seemed clear that she designed the show to deliver this message,” tweeted Penfield’s wife, Christine.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have to say I'm... surprised.

Because books.
Is anyone else going to watch Bates Motel? I can't decide if it looks worth it or like a train wreck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I read one person's comment that Bates Motel was great--but I don't remember if they were a person with taste.
Hey, can I be less useful?
Perhaps, if I work at it.
I don't know what I'd do without this facilitating nurse. She hasn't fixed anything yet, but she's the only hope I have of anything. She's going to try and get my next dose moved up, and then we'll work the rest out when we get to the weekend/Monday.
