...Republican and the Democrat were perfect fall guys for him. The Republican was an ex-Democrat and glibness on wheels, and his big smile looked as if he'd worked on it all summer. The Democrat reminded you of your classic, cheerfully clueless high school principal. Both of them had that tendency common to career politicians of putting their mouths into gear with their minds only partly engaged. They blathered. This made Jesse look like Abe Lincoln...
...being young has its advantages, too. Sometimes people say that I remind them of the 16-year-old heroines of "Clueless" or "Dirty Dancing," and this Halloween, my roommates didn't think much of encouraging me to dress up as Baby Spice. With the new release of "Lolita," Hollywood seems to think nymphets are back en vogue as well. It must be true given my knack for attracting older guys who find some disturbingly kinky pleasure in the fact that I don't remember, for example, Michael Jackson pre-surgery...
Within the next minute, in some small town, a clueless 14-year-old will slip white shoes onto her black-stockinged legs, and no one will stop her.

...Amblad's specialty is looking smashingly absurd in spandex, Green does beautifully in the muumuu/wig roles. His falsetto is worthy of John Klees in all its incarnations--whether doing tongues (as Lavinia), being clueless (Juliet) or portraying Gen X Ophelia drowning herself in a cup of water. When not occupied with his feminine side, Green breaks down the traditional audience/performer boundaries by involving everyone in a "workshoping Ophelia" wherein the crowd chants the various mantras of her id, ego and superego in preparation for her dramatic demise. If there is a prop to be used, Green...
