A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Captain of the Pinafores
YouTube video by Steve Roland - Topic Captain of the Pinafores

"I did the hats that everybody danced in Bye Bye Birdie in
And then a blouse Dolores Gray could once again be thirty in."

Most comedy songs in old revues scream "You had to be there," but "Captain of the Pinafores" from Seven Come Eleven is quite fun.

BREAKING on MS NOW:

The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation.

The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.

"Something Good" makes more sense for 70-something Elaine Stritch than it does for Maria von Trapp.

Poor Gerrianne Raphael (who at the time of recording was Diener's alternate in the 1972 revival at the Beaumont) lost most of her material.

Hahahaahahahahahahaha we LOVE to see it. Losing a primary as an imcumbent by 48 points. Not even cracking 25%. May all collaborators face such a fate, at minimum.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

Mary was known to say she made more money from that movie than she did anything else she did in her career. It's good to own your own star vehicle!

The Hallidays got millions from the film and its soundtrack (I've heard anywhere from 6-8) so I assume she dried those eyes with disposable hundred dollar bills.

Richard and Leland took R&H to court over the film soundtrack and won.
