#3 Maybe they can make this a double feature with "My Name is Rachel Corrie (And I Was Crushed Flat by a Bulldozer)"?

#4 What's rather pathetic about Harvard today is that they only have one Loeb.

#5 Rush Limbaugh just said, how come these clowns aren't putting on a derogatory musical about the beastial crimes of Saddam. Which went on for decades, not just one year. Plus what when on in Abu Ghraib got nowhere near what the Sunni Jihadist scum kill with a single car bomb these days. The key is to keep matters in perspective. Something the leftists/Muslims are not interested in, deceitful propaganda is more important. Lying to people is more important.

#7 looken forward nyoo john cleese moovee:

"It will be great comedy adventure about a pre-historic culture clash between two tribes, one comparatively evolved tribe, and one un-evolved tribe," he said.

"Some might consider one tribe might be the English, and some might consider that the other to be the French, the Gauls.

"Let's just say it's the start of the Entente Cordial and it explains why the English Channel is there."

#9 This thread reminds me of a favorite Letterman Top Ten List -- Plays That Won't Make It On Broadway.

Number Seven: "I'm Not Going to Pay a Lot For This Muffler: A dramatic reading by James Earl Jones"

and

Number One: "Meese!"

#10 Here are some more titles:

Saddam gouged my daugher eyes out then raped her because I couldn't tell what I didn't know.

101 uses for an industreal shreadder.

We target, murder, and behead innocent civilians but you better give us Geneva Convention protections!

#12 sea cruise, I beleve that what went on at Abu Ghraib went on for 3 days only.

Of course the MSM has been soddomizing that dead horse for over year...

#14 sea cruise, I believe that what went on at Abu Ghraib went on for 3 days only.

You are likely correct. I blurted out one year but have nothing to support that. Either way, Saddam's atrocities dragged on for decades. But perhaps the Muslims (Sunni & Shi'ite) like it that way) There is an instinct for punishment, abuse and flagellation in Muhammadanism.

"That's the way uhuh uhuh, I like it"

#15 "They've (Show Up Productions) been terrific at:

raising money

giving us advice

helping us mold the characters

mentoring me in my first effort at script writing and directing . . . "

In other words, Currun Singh is bought and paid for and has prostituted his art.

The question of how ordinary people can commit unspeakable acts became one of the central issues . . .

Unspeakable acts? How about a production on the unspeakable actions of the terrorists. Heads would roll . . .

The left loves idiots like Singh. Probably see more of him. Maybe he'll hook up with Michael Moore.

#16 you'll see Singh at the burgerKing driveup window, explaining that "he burnt the fries, would you like a cheesecake instead"?

#17 Another element that engages the audience emotionally as well as providing a narrative thread is the gradual moral awakening...

Actually, Darby tried to report the abuses immediately, and refused to take any part in them from the beginning. If Singh has the character based on Darby involved in ANY abuses, I hope Darby takes him -- and Harvard -- to the cleaners.

Also, as much as I dislike Karpinski, she didn't abuse anyone, either, despite what the article implies. Maybe the author of this story needs to get a couple of friendly letters from lawyers...

#18 Yes, Google really is our friend...
