...traveling Pontiff, it was not a laid-back Turkish holiday. The citizens of the proud, predominantly Muslim nation had no love of Popes. To the East, the Iranian government was galvanizing anti-Western feeling. The news reported that an escaped killer was on the loose, threatening to assassinate the Pontiff when he arrived. Yet the Holy Father was undaunted. "Love is stronger than danger," he said. "I am in the hands of God." He fared forward--to Ankara, to Istanbul--and preached the commonality of the world's great faiths. He enjoined both Christians and Muslims to "seek ties...
...serious misstep and inexplicable to me," former Republican leader Dick Armey chortled. "I just hope she does more of it."

But almost nothing in this play is smart enough for satire, or even makes much sense. The project the agent is seeking for the client she doesn't want outed is... a play about two gay lovers. (There's some...
...hold on a couple more years / tryin’ not to get blown away.” What starts out as steely-eyed fatalism turns into helpless desperation, a sentiment that gets echoed later on “Gangsta Bop.” Singing over a laid-back parody of every G-Unit beat, Akon starts out with a broken flow, giving the half line “you die quicker” room to sink in before he quietly says “Paramedics drive back slow to this hospital / You get pronounced dead before the hospital...
