The concept of Ajax in Iraq by Ellen McLaughlin is one that instantly intrigues. Taking the classic Sophocles legend and drawing parallels to the war in Iraq certainly raises an eyebrow or two. That being said, even though I am sure this play is an engaging read, when put into the hands of the masterful Flux Theatre Ensemble it becomes all encompassing. Flux has chosen to call it's current season of theatre 'Don't Look Away' and this very accurately describes the inner monologue of the audience at this fascinating production. It's rare to have an experience at the theatre that won't let you go, but this is one of those occasions.

Yesterday, June 16, Sarah Palin appeared on Fox's Hannity talk show with Sean Hannity. In addition to the general Democrat-bashing, among the topics of discussion were unions, health care, her feelings on Julianne Moore portraying her in an upcoming HBO movie and her views on goverment programs, including The National Endowment for the Arts. Never one to white wash her views, the half-term Alaskan Governor and former VP candidate was clear in her disdain for the arts support organization, saying: 'NPR, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, all those kind of frivolous things that government shouldn't be in the business of funding with tax dollars -- those should all be on the chopping block as we talk about the $14 trillion debt that we're going to hand to our kids and our grandkids. Yes, those are the type of things that for more than one reason need to be cut.'
