...Talent” knew this when they decided to recast the age-old archetype on a modern stage like so many authors, playwrights, and bards before them. The fresh angle in Boyle’s case, though, is that this isn’t a puppet show Christmas special or a child’s folk tale—this is reality. As scripted and replete with emotional cues for obedient audience members as her journey has been, Boyle is still a real person with a real back-story.

Since Russia is the only power Georgia has gone to war with recently, Moscow might fairly assume that NATO exercises taking place on Georgian soil are designed to train soldiers for another possible conflict with Russia.

I think there's a horrible void in that these voices are not on American TV. We're not the first to try to use comedy to raise racial or social issues. Richard Pryor or Chris Rock or even Lenny Bruce - they were challenging people through their comedy, but still they were being funny. We're just following in the footsteps of people who have blazed...
