TheatreThree Collaborative has announced a talkback series for its production of Karen Malpede's Prophecy, to play the East Fourth Street Theater, May 27 - June 20, with an opening on June 4. Playwright Malpede will direct the production.

As previously announced, the cast will feature Kathleen Chalfant, André De Shields, George Bartenieff, Najla Said, and Brendan Donaldson.

The drama is both the story of a marriage and the personal legacy of the wars in Iraq and Vietnam and centers on a group of people whose lives are surprisingly intertwined.

Participants in the post-performance talkbacks will include internationally-renowned scholar and political activist Noam Chomsky on June 8; author and activist David Swanson on June 2; journalist and host of GRIT-TV Laura Flanders on June 3, and journalist and former New York Times foreign correspondent Chris Hedges on June 4.

Let's Defeat a Corrupt Bush Lap Dog Congressman in NY State

Vito Fossella (NY-13) is a Corrupt Republican Congressman in NYC. In 2006 he was nearly defeated by a grassroots challenger with only $100,000 and no support from the DCCC. That challenger, Steve Harrison, is ready for a rematch. Only this time Fossella is already in debt from last year, Harrison is getting an earlier start, and the DCCC are already considering supporting Harrison. Vito Fossella likes using the term "independent" and he and his followers actually got angry when I called him a Republican. But he IS a Republican and he VOTES like a Republican. I think it is time to review Vito Fossella's record. From the DCCCVito Fossella Corrupt Republican: FOSSELLA: Supporting Oil Companies, Not Americans * Rep. Fossella voted against cracking down on the oil and gas industries price gouging. * Rep.

Who is fueling the suicide bombing in Iraq? US or Iran

Beat about the bush.

The shiite belongs to the same sect as Iranian while the Sunni extremist were the main culprit
that carried out the suicide bombing almost daily on the Shiite. The Sunnis have the support of US in the middle east. I'm confused why do the Iranian accused by the Bush administration would want to kill their own sect.
It doesnt make sense. Who supply the bomb? US or Iran?  Mr Bush is beating about the bush. He's fueling the insurgents Sunni so that US troops can stay longer in Iraq. The world is being fool by a tyrant, MR Bush.
