SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:53 P.M. ET:

MAJOR SHOW-BIZ NEWS – FROM THE GUARDIAN:  Michael Moore is set to star in a Broadway show aimed at taking down Donald Trump. The Oscar-winning film-maker will bring The Terms of My Surrender to the stage with help from Tony-winning director Michael Mayer. His credits include Spring Awakening and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.  “It’s a humorous play about a country that’s just elected a madman – I mean, there’s really no other way to put it,” he said in an interview with the New York Times. The promotional poster reads: “Can a Broadway show bring down a sitting president?”  I am writing this from Manhattan.  I am already in line.  I will sleep on the pavement to guarantee being here when the box office opens in the morning.  I cannot wait.  I hear it's another "South Pacific."

VULGAR – FROM RED ALERT POLITICS:   On Thursday April 20th, Ron Kuby, a leftist radio talk show host on “Curtis and Kuby,” said the women who were sexually harassed by Bill O’Reilly should not have been surprised by what happened to them because they created a culture that permitted his behavior.
“These women… on air… helped create and perpetuate and profit from the right wing Fox culture of hatred, homophobia misogyny, bigotry, racism,” Kuby said. “They helped make that happen and now they are shocked that they got eaten up by that? The same ugliness that they helped perpetuate day in and day out finally came for them.”  Kuby seems to be stating these women deserved to be sexually harassed by O’Reilly simply due to their political views. Because they are conservative women, Kuby has deemed them perpetuators of “hatred, homophobia misogyny, bigotry, racism” and therefore deserving of such mistreatment.  Nothing will happen to Kuby, and so-called "women's groups" will remain silent.  He's a leftist, and therefore immune.

YIKES – FROM LONDON'S TELEGRAPH:  Scientists have revealed a robotic drill that can cut the most sensitive brain surgery down from two hours to two and a half minutes.  The machine, developed at the University of Utah, is being hailed as a potential breakthrough in survival for brain patients as the reduced time they spend in surgery will drastically cut the chances of infection.  Researchers say it can make one type of complex cranial surgery 50 times faster than standard procedures.  What will the mothers of doctors have left to brag about?  Fast drilling?
