Vladimir Putin has gone insane. He's stopping little kids and kissing them on the stomach. Called to explain this behaviour he produced the entirely logical and sound defence..."I wanted to touch him like a kitten."

Yeah. Crazy old Vladimir.

Meanwhile, in other crazy Russian news, Amy's play opened last night. It's about a group of artists and writers in the Stalinist Soviet Union. It's an interesting play, dealing primarily with the prophetic nature of art and the responsibility of artistic freedom. The script has some limitations, but they are deftly directed around and (with one or two painful exceptions) the show is well acted. And, of course, the stage management is excellent!

So if you're looking for something to do in Toronto check out Art is a Cupboard, part of Toronto's Fringe Festival.
