What a pleasant surprise to find your new (?) blog.
The review of the WNO Turandot is really excellent; my wife and I will being seeing it tomarrow. Your comments are very helpful. I agree, Sabina Cvilak is a wonderful singer/actor — hope WNO will bring her back often.
Good luck in your blog. I hope you and Anne Midgette will hyperlink each other in the future.

Are you serious about this Obama Joker poster being about race? You have to be joking. Your argument is a looooong stretch at best, but only reveals your and the left’s obsession with race. Get over it. It’s not about his race. It’s about his politics. He’s marching this country down a Marxist path that threatens the individual and his liberty; the individual liberty upon which this country was built. It would be the same if Obama was the whitest whitey that ever was. It was the same when George Bush started this statist nonsense. Obama’s policies = bad for the country and for individuals who have to live under them, excluding Obama and Congress, of course.
