Was Stalin an evil stepsister?

Fri. at the ballet

Who couldn’t fall in love with PA Ballet’s Cinderella again as danced by Martha Chamberlain. Fueled by the Prokofiev score, finely played by ballet orchestra, Martha gave Cinderella a fleetness to dance outside the tyranny of those evil stepsisters that brought to mind Prokofiev’s subversion of the Soviet Composer’s union.

Even with some arm tangles in choreographer Ben Stevenson’s partnering, Martha and her prince Sergio Torrado had fab chemistry. Who possibly could upstage this pair? Why the evil stepsisters of course, danced in horrible drag by Jonathan Stiles and James Ihde. They milked every pratfall and mugged like 3 stooge rejects. It was low brow travesti and top drawer fun.

AIG is paying out 160 m. in bonuses to executives reports the NYTs “A.I.G., nearly 80 percent of which is now owned by the government, defended its bonuses, arguing that they were promised last year before the crisis and cannot be legally canceled.”

There would be only one prompt response to this- Cannot be legally canceled? Are you fucking kidding me.
