Pioneering

Bush's brain got split in half today. One half arrived at the Pioneer, and the other half is stuck somewhere in New Jersey.

More precisely, the two cans of a 35mm print of the movie BUSH'S BRAIN were separated as they journeyed across the U.S. over the last few days. New tracking info showed up today, coinciding with delivery of the first half to the Pioneer. The other half, apparently, is somewhere in New Jersey.

What did you think I meant?

BUSH'S BRAIN, as you may know, is a movie about Karl Rove, the political operative widely credited with turning the derelict scion of a politically powerful oil family into a viable political candidate. This coming Monday, we're showing the movie as an "Un-President's Day" screening, reflecting our rather queasy feelings toward that holiday at the moment.

The Billionaires for Bush, an over-the-top yet earnest political theatre troupe, will co-present the screening, at which they will also screen their own film "Billionaires Love Karl Rove." The Billionaires are bringing some very special guests, including Bush's Brain "Karl Rove" himself (Tony Torn), as well as Bush's Heart "Dick Cheney" (Ron Kidd). We also look forward to welcoming a number of unannounced, undercover CIA, NSA, and FBI agents.


"Rove" will present a copy of THE SATANIC BIBLE, by Anton Lavey, to the best Karl Rove impression.

As "Dick Cheney" will attend the screening, bulletproof vests and facemasks are recommended.
