D-Day Again
D-Day Again, a play written by Martin Lentz who served in the 82nd Airborne, will be performed 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 1 at the Rotwitt Theater, Rosemont College, 1400 Montgomery Ave., Rosemont Pa. 19010.
It’s free and reservations are not needed but donations to benefit the Delaware County Veterans Memorial and the Wild Bill Guarnere Memorial Fund will be requested.
The play, we have been told, concerns two World War II airborne veterans who meet in a nursing home, rebel against their empty circumstances and regain their dignity.
It is not suitable for children under 18. The unit of the protagonists has been changed to the 101st Airborne for this performance in honor of Wild Bill Guarnere.
Lentz is the father of former State Rep. Bryan Lentz, who also served in the 82nd Airborne and is producing the play.

Cruz Shames Quintanilla, Old Media
One questions the wisdom of the Republicans letting a Comcast-affiliated network host a presidential debate then one sees what candidate Ted Cruz does to the sickeningly dishonest moderators tasked to making the GOP look bad and realizes it was an act of genius.
He actually makes Carl Quintanilla blush with shame.
Here it is if you haven’t seen it:

Philly Independents Equal To GOP
Philadelphia has three candidates in Tuesday’s (Nov. 3) mayoral race who are mounting the first significant independent campaigns since 1983.
They are Jim Foster, Osborne Hart and Boris Kindij.
Newsworks.org has a interesting story as to what motivates them and it can be found here.
For Kinij, a immigrant from Croatia, it is injustice. For Foster, a Germantown resident, it is corruption. For Hart, a Socialist, it is workers’ safety and the minimum wage.
In fairness, all three have about as much of a shot as winning as the GOP candidate Melissa Murray Bailey. Democrat Jim Kenney is almost certainly going to be the next mayor.
The Newsworks article reveals that there are as many independents registered to vote in Philly — about 100,000 — as Republicans. There are 800,000 registered Democrat voters.
While we do not advise people to register as independents in a close primary state like Pennsylvania, that fact that so many are insisting to do so is a strong argument to end closed primaries.
