Molly Ivins introduction

Molly Ivins introduction was just too funny. And frighteningly accurate. Then, while I was looking at the Austin paper, I read a really funny “letter to the editor” in yesterday’s paper [turn your cookies off before going there], from a reader in Arkansas, praising the local paper’s web site for being easy to navigate and easy to read. Maybe they really are a bunch of hicks in Arkansas — no they can’t be. [Not to mention the invasion of privacy from the raw sewage cookies perpetrated by the same site.] Maybe the technology has changed, but I was declining a cookie every page view on their site. I asked for a second opinion, from one of the site’s regular readers, that sweet [natural] blond Pisces, “Easy to navigate?” was her question in answer to my question, “just better because there’s no newsprint, and no pictures.” Guess that settles that. The same Pisces went with me to see “Virtual Devotion,” a play at the State Theater, written by Eric Coble. Although attendance was sparse, at best, it’s a fine production, well–staged, brilliant set design, and some rather amusing/amazing performances. Excellent production, not just good, but excellent, all the way around. It was an amazing script, and the cast did handle it with excellence. Musical selection is “Ziegfried” (all 4 CD’s) and some cow punk [Sundown].
