If I profane with my unworthiest hand...

Lee Ann Alexander has been reading the fine art of the playwrite, so allow me to offer one of my favorites: Edward Albee's Who's Afriad of Virginia Woolfe.

Ok, so I've only seen it in movie form, but this is a classic. It has Richard Burton, at what I consider to be his top movie-making form, and Elizabeth Taylor, who feeds of the camera like Elvis at a buffet line.

I was first introduced to this film by my dad, who had always introduced to the classic movies that most people my age never knew existed. I mean, Dustin Hoffman's Death of a Salesman was good, but can it compare with the intensity of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor going at it like rabid ferrets get any better! Even when she and Paul Newman tore it up in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof it couldn't match the intensity of the two former lovers.

Hands down, my favorite Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor vehicle, even over Taming of the Shrew.

Hi Sean, Since your month is almost up, I wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your blog very much. Give my love to Shalisha and I am sure I will see you both when your baby arrives from Heaven. Matt is probably playing with her little soul right now in Heaven's nursery. What a good God we have!! gwen spell

Sean, I wanted to say good job this month and good luck with future endeavors. I also wanted to leave you with an article I found about PNAC (New American Century). It pretty much gives a bit more detail of what I told you before. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1665.htm
