We were so right, as in so very right, to despise McCain and his presidential bid. The reprise of Pig Iron Theater's Chekhov Lizardbrain could not have been better timed or a sweeter retort to the arts-naysaying of certain conservative elements, spearheaded by McCain and championed by the righteously-dumb Fox Noise Network, that are swimming like sharks, waiting for liberal chum to color their dark waters. And so they pounced on a 25K grant from the NEA to Pig Iron--an Obie-Award-winning theater troupe--as an exemplar of liberal waste. Mmmm. As a result, I remember the sweetness and delight of Chekhov Lizardbrain with particular fondness, a nearly fie-fie-fie-on-you-McCain spiteful fondness.
Oh, and if you missed it this time around, fortunately Pig Iron recently received a $25,000 grant to continue their good work so you will undoubtedly have another chance.
