The Stage Whisperer

Well, almost all… as Ms. Estrich writes recently about California’s voting for Proposition 8 while also voting for Obama:”Perhaps the hardest question, at least in the short run, is how a state that so overwhelmingly supported Obama for president, that on the same ballot supported more spacious quarters for chickens and abortion rights for teenagers, could vote for an initiative that is a cruel slap in the face to our gay friends and relatives. In the 21st century, we look beyond race but get stuck at sexual orientation.”

If you’re tired of hearing, watching and reading about politics, you should still take the time to soak up Ms. Estrich’s brilliant prose every once in a while.

Or, if the effort is just too much for you, you can wait until she appears in Torrance as part of “Toyota Presents American Perspectives,” in a discussion with another genius, Dennis Prager. Sunday, April 26, at 7pm.
