“Honestly though, theatre’s the best, isn’t it? You come to places like this and sit in the dark for two hours and you just escape. Instead of thinking about your own childhood problems, you watch a childhood fairytale come to life before your eyes. Instead of stressing about your own relationships you watch two people from different parts of the world fall in love and make beautiful music together. Instead of worrying about the news of today, you hear about the news of yesterday (delivered by overly attractive, hypo-acrobatic 35 year old 15 year olds). I mean, what if life was like that all the time?”
—Neil Patrick Harris, Tony Awards 2012 (via theatricallyspeaking)
This Nik Wallenda special is turning into a commercial for Jesus. Or, as Nik just called him, "crazy Jesus."
“Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.”

Lawmaker Rebuked after Invoking Her Genitals and Her Judaism →

“Yesterday we heard the representative from Holland [Mich.] speak about religious freedom,” Brown told her fellow lawmakers. Putting her right hand on her chest, she declared, “I’m Jewish. I keep kosher in my home. I have two sets of dishes—one for meat and one for dairy, and another two sets of dishes on top of that, for Passover.”
With a slight tremble in her voice, Brown lectured: “Judaism believes that therapeutic abortions, namely abortions performed in order to preserve the life of the mother are not only permissible, but mandatory. The stage of pregnancy does not matter. Wherever there’s a question of the life of the mother or that of the unborn child, Jewish law rules in favor of preserving the life of the mother. The status of the fetus as human life does not equal that of the mother.
“I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs,” Brown said. “Why are you asking me to adopt yours? Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means no!”
“Welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway, the show where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.”
