Mike Daisy: A Night To Remember YouTube link to video Last night's performance of INVINCIBLE SUMMER was disrupted when eighty seven members of a Christian group walked out of the show en masse, and chose to physically attack my work by pouring water on and destroying the original of the show outline. I'm still dealing with all the ramifications, but here's what it felt like from my end: I am performing the show to a packed house, when suddenly the lights start coming up in the house as a flood of people start walking down the aisles–they looked like a…

The Blog | Laurie David and Sheryl Crow: Karl Rove Gets Thrown Under the Stop Global Warming Bus | The Huffington Post We reminded the senior White House advisor that the US leads the world in global warming pollution and we are doing the least about it.

Homeland audit says Katrina contracts were mismanaged – The Boston Globe WASHINGTON — FEMA exposed taxpayers to significant waste, and possibly violated federal law, by awarding $3.6 billion worth of Hurricane Katrina contracts to companies with poor credit histories and bad paperwork, investigators say. Great. Just great. We know this went on, of course, but farther down in the article, FEMA admits it has no action plan for the coming hurricane season.
