The theater was set up as the Kit Kat Club, and my friend and I drank Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame as we watched in awe.

We are in a country in which one openly Socialist side is currently gearing up to overthrow our way of life and our way of governing.

This is happening, guys.
We need to plan a sane, responsible, effective response.
Let's not get caught on stage.
