We know why you did it, Chuck. It was a form of pity. We do not trust The Paper of Re-CORD's Branson East revuers because their revuing is economical: raves so that we don't put poor miserable ac-TORS out of work, pans when the theme park's profitable. How many shows have gotten an unjustified long life? How many have been cut down because the revuers had indigestion? Giving raves makes us feel good; we're doing something for the local tourist traps, and besides, we may spawn sequels -- what is more, we may CHANGE THE THEATAH. YA HADDA BE THERE, which was said to have CHANGED THE MUSICAL FOREVER, has thoroughly discredited its own raves a short nine years after its epochal opening, and we'd guess Branson East's historians will read the revues of such HIP! extravaganzas not with mere scorn, but in the belief they led this once AHT form to grow even worse.

Moreover it's a measure of CARLOS THE JACKASS's well-heeled minions that they consider calling Dubya an idiot cutting-edge. Sorry, your knifes lost their sharpness a long time ago.
