they possess a piece of paper. I win the house. They win a piece of paper and they can kiss my ass. FUCK 'EM!!!!!

so far, the juries I have been on have voted to let the post alone. Of course, as time goes on (especially during election season) things will get more contentious.

After being on forced ignore with so many people for so long, I just as soon not put anyone on my black list. I welcome the transparency.

and we finally met in the middle does not mean that we did not approach the issue from opposite sides. I find that this has been like a discussion with a Republican.

with as many variables in the answer as there are individuals. Do you really want an answer?

I hate that desperate people feel the need to do desperate things and that in desperation I will protect myself desperately.

The Democratic Party needs to QUIT losing votes over this issue. To stifle the intelligent discussion in this forum is counter-productive.

I wish Obama would call for Holder's resignation.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is in some hot water over operation "Fast and Furious," the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives botched gun trafficking sting.

Last week, U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith wrote a letter to President Barack Obama asking that he appoint a special counsel to investigate whether Holder lied when he testified before Congress about"Fast and Furious," and now California Congressman Darrell Issa is placing responsibility for the fed's faux-pas directly on Holder's shoulders.

In a letter Issa wrote to Holder, released yesterday, the congressman tells the AG "Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility."

See Issa's letter in its entirety here.


Issa already has said he wants Holder to return to Congress to give sworn testimony because he is frustrated with what he calls "a roving set of ever-changing explanations to justify involvement in this reckless and deadly program."

Sleep No More is an immersive theatre production created by British theatre company Punchdrunk. Based on Punchdrunk's original 2003 London production, the company reinvented Sleep No More in a co-production with the American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.), which opened at the Old Lincoln School in Brookline, Massachusetts on October 8, 2009.<1> It won Punchdrunk the Elliot Norton Theatre Award for Best Theatrical Experience 2010.

The production was a new and expanded version of Punchdrunk's 2003 production of the same name which was performed in the Beaufoy Building, London, a disused Victorian school.<2> Unlike a conventional stage play, Sleep No More is an immersive experience in which audiences are free to explore the world of the performance at will. It combined plot and characters of Shakespeare's Macbeth with characters, narrative, and aesthetic elements inspired by the films of Hitchcock, in particular Rebecca, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by English author Daphne du Maurier.<3>

Relationship to Macbeth
Assistant director Paul Stacey says that "every line of Shakepeare's Macbeth is embedded in the multiple languages—sound, light, design, and dance—of Sleep No More."<4>

Characters
There were 18 characters in the 2009 production of Sleep No More, most of them taken directly from Shakespeare's Scottish tragedy, Macbeth.<4>

Immersion of audience
Audience members are invited to explore the world of the production in their own time, choosing for themselves what to watch and where to go.<5>

Unlike a conventional play, in which all audience members share the experience of witnessing the same events on the same stage, Sleep No More provides the audience with a more fragmented,, multi-layered and individualized experience. As directors Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle say in the program notes, "exploring the space individually, the audience is given the opportunity to both act in and direct their own film; to revisit, to edit and to indulge themselves as voyeurs."
