From Ken: Nothing much for a satirist to laugh at or sing about tomorrow night. Taxes. Tea. Tea Bags. Tea Bagging (heard it once or twice). Pirates on the high seas. NY Governor (D- Emperor's Club) Love Client No 9's Big Come Back. Double Entendres. Single Entendres. Alaska Governor Tells All (you mean there's MORE?). TX Governor talks Secession. OIl man sells wind mills. POTUS runs with foreign dog - Bo Obama - The Drama. Is Castro Convertible? Talent show contestant winning hearts with heart-winning solo from Les Mis entitled "Win Their Hearts." Outcry over Release of Torture Memos - but not over Memos or Torture. And wat else.....oh, Tea Bagging.For the latest up to the twittermusical political satire,Yours in jest,Planet Washington

Hey everyone, In case any of you are interested... I was in the Hexagon (Satirical political revue) show here in DC last year, and now I'm writing coordinator this year. I can say without reservation that the show this year, as far as the material goes, is several heads above any other Hexagon variety show. and given a quality cast, will be an incredible show that I can't wait to work on. Please see below for an email from my friend Mel talking about auditions!
