The shaggy-dog item of the week, literally and figuratively, goes to the Second City comedy theater.
They've been running a political spoof called Rod Blagojevich Superstar, which I attended on opening night and reviewed here. The show weaves a hair-raising tale, upbraiding Blagojevich for his bald ambition and refusing to comb over the misbehavior of a deeply disturbed person.
Here's their latest press release:
