Culture in a Red State

[BOSSHOG]

Tomorrow Night in Ocean Springs Mississippi the SENATOR TRENT LOTT PERFORMING ARTS THEATRE will be dedicated.

I understand its a white sheet affair. No information if any blue state federal tax money has been used in this endeavor; but I'll try to find out.

1. Comedy Assignment: suggest the opening night act/performer/play/band

4. That old time musical favorite

"Lynching on the Bayou." A little bit of Christmas time nostalgia for the older citizens of the grand old state. I bet there won't be a dry white eye in the house.

10. Maybe a movie?

After all, Birth of a Nation hasn't been shown in theatres in a while.

2. Yogurt has more culture.

What's going to be the opening? A minstrel show?

6. I'm not sure of the size of the "theatre"

but if your criteria is correct it must be quite small.

I live in Mississippi by the way. Liberals down here don't much cotton to "Flames."

5. Is it meant to be a Theater of the Absurd? n/t

7. Isn't that an Oxymoron?

8. I wish "The Daily Show" would send a reporter down there

I'd love to see Steven Colbert's report of that ceremony!

9. Maybe they can invite that judge who wore blackface to a party

to come and sing Mammy.
