Pioneering Out Playwright Edward Albee Dies At 88

Edward Albee, Pulitzer-winning playwright of some of the most emotionally affecting works of his generation, has died at the age of 88 at his home in Montauk, Long Island.

His best-known and most-produced play, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is widely regarded as a 20th centruy theatrical masterpiece. He once described the play as an effort to dig “so deep under the skin that it becomes practically intolerable.” Anyone who has witnessed the explosive marriage of George and Martha, either on stage or in the 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, knows how close Albee hit his mark.

Below is an example of the kind of marital bloodsport the work is so famous for — “I swear if you existed I’d divorce you” —

While Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was denied the Pulitzer the year it came out (the 14-member advisory board was split, with some shocked at the language and abusive behavior), Albee did win the award for A Delicate Balance in 1967. “Well, you can’t lose them all,” director Mike Nichols cabled him

Elizabeth Taylor won the Academy Award for the film version, directed by Nichols.

Albee’s plays challenged the way we behave, to our loved ones, the world at large and ourselves. “Most people want tidy, frivolous stuff,” Albee told the Los Angeles Times in 2002, “so they can go home and not worry about what they’ve seen.”

Albee was out, though he rejected the label of “gay writer.”

“Maybe I’m being a little troublesome about this,” Albee told NPR’s Renee Montagne, “but so many writers who are gay are expected to behave like gay writers and I find that is such a limitation and such a prejudicial thing that I fight against it whenever I can.”

“A writer who happens to be gay or lesbian must be able to transcend self. I am not a gay writer. I am a writer who happens to be gay,” he said, somewhat ironically, while accepting an award for pioneering LGBT writers and publishers.

“I don’t find that much difference between straights and gays in the problems of life,” he told the New York Times in 1994. “I don’t believe in ghettoization.”

Other notable works include The Zoo Story, A Delicate Balance, The Sandbox, The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia, The Lady from Dubuqe and The American Dream.

Donald Trump Thinks Anderson Cooper Is Temperamentally Unfit To Moderate Debate

Great news for anyone who was running out of things to be outraged about: foaming sea slug Donald Trump has done a new thing!

This time, he’s saying that Anderson Cooper shouldn’t moderate the second presidential debate, coming up on October 9.

“He’ll be very biased, very biased,” Trump said, like a kid who knows he sucks at baseball complaining about the mean referees before the game. Trump added a bunch of blah-blah-blah about how he’ll be there but he won’t like it. “CNN is the Clinton News Network and Anderson Cooper, I don’t think he can be fair.”

Trump is probably referring to … oh God, who knows, Trump has never referred to anything specific in his life. Maybe he’s referring to how CNN is reporting facts, and Trump doesn’t like facts. Maybe he’s referring to Wolf Blitzer’s sexy daddy beard. Maybe he’s misses those old James Earl Jones station ID spots. Your guess is as good as anyone else’s.

The Cooper debate will also feature Martha Raddatz from ABC News, and Lester Holtz from NBC will moderate the first one on September 26. The third is October 19 with Chris Wallace, Mike Wallace’s kid. Now if you want to talk about being unfit to moderate a debate, take a look at Chris Wallace: he publicly said that he wouldn’t fact check anyone during the debate, since it’s not his role. What? Whose role is it if not the moderator to ask the participants to please, if they wouldn’t mind, tell the truth? Wallace has also publicly praised Trump puppeteer Roger Ailes.

In other news, the government is scheduled to shut down in two weeks, but nobody’s talking about that.
