Hail Titus
Some more good family news over the weekend. The Brilliant Daughter racks up yet one more glowing review of the play she is currently directing. Nothing like solid DNA.
Frankly, when the world sucks as voraciously as is the present case, it’s downright wonderful to have so much delight to bask in so close to home.

I feel like the guy in those jungle movies that notes the place is too quiet. All of a sudden no one wants to defend Chavez or trash Hillary. What’s going on?
OK folks – rumor has it that Fidel bites the big one this weekend. Who has him in their Dead Pool?

Congratulations on your brillant daughter’s success. With our world crashing down around our ears and no visible relief in sight, then it is wise to turn our minds to something that will lighten our hearts, at least for awhile.
Love your comments.

Yes, Titus Andronicus has always been a lighthearted romp; perfect for letting you check your troubles at the door. Here Marc Cooper gives us the same cool objectivity we know from his work on Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. Don’t bite my head off.

“If she says that your conduct is heinous
Kick her right in her Coriolanus!”
“Brush up your Shakespear
and they’ll all kow tow!”
Yes, night and day, Cole is the one!

K – Marc is justifiably basking in his daughter’s considerable accomplishments, and could care less what Shakespeare was on about in Titus. Surely we can still find some balance and joy in our lives, even in crappy times.

I think my point is a fair one; regestered without malice. No one has a softer spot for the dreamy toilers of wavier theatre than I.
Before you get TOO warm and squishy about proud parents.. you might want to consider the White House once again…

Marc, you do have a very smart daughter and you have a right to be proud. But, don’t you ever wonder where she learned some of those bad words?

Probably from reading Chaucer.

I didn’t know that 14th century middle English had the F-word, much less influenced people today to commonly use it. rlc, are you that susceptible to suggestion?
Nevertheless, I don’t want a little gibe to take away from the accomplishments of Marc’s daughter.

Woody: it’s an excellent point. I’m a card-carrying potty mouth and I taught it directly to my daughter. Her vocabulary is rich in expletives, for sure, but she’s also capable of writing extremely muscular and refined prose and has the grades to show for it. So I’ll take credit on both ends.
I, in turn, was taught gutter language by my 10th grade locker partner, a child movie star who worked for….. Disney! Man, did he teach me to swear. My life’s never been the same. I’m the worst! (Though it comes in handy when I want to trash-talk at a poker table– I can quickly rattle an otherwise unflappable opponent).
Reg: Thanks for your kind words.
K Nardy: You’re a bit beyond belief and way below a serious response.
