Re: “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”
A solid, workmanlike production of the Stoppard classic.

Re: “Club Orpheum: A new social organization for young (theater) lovers”
It's the Orpheum's quadrennial attempt to score some younger season ticket holders by not doing an all Rogers & Hammerstein / Andrew Lloyd Webber season. They'll revert back to their more banal offerings next year (but in the meantime I'm planning a road trip for Book of Mormon; much like my road trip for the pretty-okay-if-slight Zorro last weekend.)
Re: “Actor stops show, tells patron to turn her cell phone off”
Tony's my hero.
Re: “Fly on the Wall”
"Bluntry" isn't a neologism as much as a portmanteau. Of course, most people wouldn't know a portmanteau if it bit them on the derriass.
Re: “Some Things to Worry About”
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. NASCAR isn't a religion. Hell, it's barely even a sport.
ACC Basketball MIGHT (might) be a religion. Although they've dishonored their God this year.
Re: “Ku Klux Klan Rally Is a Non-event in Memphis”
Friends ask why they KKK would target Memphis so regularly for its public rallies, and I ask them if they've read the Commercial Appeal lately--between Ann Coulter and the commenters, at least the newspaper-subscribing contingent of Memphis residents are pretty Klan-Friendly, and vocal about it.
Re: “Marsha Blackburn: Skeet-Shooting Truther”
Given that her nutbag constituency would erect a monument to her as "The woman who saved America" if she were to put a bullet in the President, Rep. Blackburn shouldn't be allowed within 500 yards of Obama with a firearm, no matter how high her Duck Hunt™ score is.
Re: “Commercial Appeal Lays Off 6 Newsroom Staffers”
Well, paying for Ann Coulter's coke habit can't be cheap, and the company that runs the security paywall that keeps people from reading the CA website are clearly worth a premium. It's no wonder they're struggling.
