Really, this has to be the worst political article I have ever seen in TW. How is it 'proving' from California's experience that "the 'top two' elections system is a bust"? The only consequence cited from California's open-primary law is that sometimes two members of the same party reach the 'finals', and sometimes two members of different parties do. Isn't that exactly what we would expect, and want?
And as for 'moderation': In Arizona? In 2012? Yes, please, I'll take more of it, thanks!
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
--Gospel of Matthew
And as to the effect of this most-definitely-unconstitutional Day of Prayer, please note that on last year's Day, the Dow Jones dropped 900 points in the "flash crash". Dark clouds and thunder indeed!
"Shooting a politician makes it about politics". Yes.
The shooter was stopped by a policeman on the morning of the shooting. Why didn't he shoot the policeman? Crazy people do that a lot. He had an altercation with his father that morning. Why didn't he shoot his father? Crazy people do that a lot.
He shot a politician. And if his name had been "Mohammed" instead of "Jared", and if his victim had been a Republican instead of a Democrat, all we would have been hearing for the last two weeks would have been "terrorism".
The run of this "Taming of the Shrew" is over now, but your reviewer missed an important aspect of this particular "directorial interpretation". The role of Kate and Bianca's father, Baptista, was transformed into a MOTHER. I felt that this drastically shifted the sexual balance of the performance, plus adding a subtle suggestion of how Kate could have 'inherited' her shrewishness. And Claire Buchignani really stole the show as this female Baptista.
