Cho

Saturday night I saw Margaret Cho’s new show, Assassins. I think it’s a lot better than her previous show, “Revolution,” and possibly better than the previous “Notorious C.H.O.” Maybe it was because I saw it live, but her timing was great and she didn’t rely as much on mugging and long, drawn-out pauses the way she did in Revolution.

And the things she said about Laura Bush!

There was a group of annoying teenagers behind us, two or three girls and a couple boys, accompanied by the father of one of the girls, and halfway through the show, the grownup leaned to his daughter and whispered loudly you didn’t warn me.
