How do you feel about the impending doom that Shrub is bringing down on our country? Do you feel like it's never been this bad and there's absolutely nothing you can do?

Let me illuminate you: people have felt this way about war for thousands of years, and they've used their imaginations in ways our Puritan-based culture would never think to stop the madness.

If you'd like to see this for yourself, it turns out that people all over the world are showing or reading the Aristophanes' play, Lysistrata today. It's called, strangely enough, the Lysistrata Project, and there's a group putting on a show in San Jose today at 3:33. See where it's showing in your area.

I wish I could go, but I'll be there in spirit. It's a great play regardless of your political views, smart and fun and completely relevant. I wish we could solve today's problems so easily. [original link via JessaJune]
