This is the only appropriate Mallory send-off. Anything more would have been unseemly.

Now I'll NEVER find out if Ali was actually the devil incarnate and this was all some elaborate modern-day Faust.

Man, I'm so glad this is how The Toast is going out.

AHHHHH okay thanks, I never know what the deal is with American politics. That's unfortunate.

This might be a dumb question, but is there any reason these questions couldn't be put to a referendum? It seems like the public opinion is very firmly in favour and that politicians are voting it down because of NRA influence. A public vote might be the only way anything gets done.

THANK YOU this is the information I came into the comments to find, because I didn't want to go googling "Mitt Romney cult" on my work laptop.

Holy WHAT I completely missed that Audra didn't get a nom. I mean, lady has six, so she can take a break. But I feel like that flies in the face of all things the Tony Awards holds dear.

I would have LOVED employment law or tenants rights or how to do your taxes in high school! Especially considering lots of high school kids work and get paycheques!

Not to be a "well, actually..." but I did do this, in elementary school. Someone from a bank came and did a session with us on having and using a bank account, how savings and interest work, and how to budget. They asked all of us what we wanted to be when we grow up, gave us the average annual salary from that profession, and then helped us calculate cost of living and expenses drawing from that income.

You know, in retrospect, lot of dreams crushed that day. Also it might have been more effective in high school when paying for school and joining the workforce is more of a reality.

Seriously, this makes absolutely no sense to me. Do doctors also have the option of not treating convicted criminals? Do they have the option of not treating politicians who don't share their views? Do they have the option of not treating a person of a different faith?

Why does the state find it acceptable to draw boundaries around sexual orientation, but not any other kind of behaviour an individual may find immoral???

Tom McCamus spit on me in Winter's Tale at Coal Mine Theatre! It's truly a singular experience.
