I had the great fortune to see the musical Cabaret performed on Broadway, with @Alancumming & the late Natasha Richardson.
The theater was set up as the Kit Kat Club, and my friend and I drank Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame as we watched in awe.

We really are in a world on the brink of war.
We are in a country in which one openly Socialist side is currently gearing up to overthrow our way of life and our way of governing.

This is happening, guys.
We need to plan a sane, responsible, effective response.
Let's not get caught on stage.
Let's not pretend the alternative to preparing for what is coming will not be every bit as dire.
