December 2019 ‘IM GOD’ Court OKs license plate A federal court on Nov. 13 cleared the way for a Kentucky man, backed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the ACLU of Kentucky, to obtain a personalized license plate reading “IM GOD.” In November 2016, FFRF Member Ben Hart filed a lawsuit after he was denied the personalized license plate. Kentucky Division of Motor Vehicle officials, who have approved several religious personalized plates, refused Hart’s request, initially calling his “IM GOD” license plate message “obscene or vulgar.” Later, the state said the plate was rejected because it was “not in good taste.” While residing in Ohio, Hart had a similar license plate (pictured below). The lawsuit, filed on Hart’s behalf by FFRF and ACLU of Kentucky, challenged the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s denial of his plate based on statutory viewpoint restrictions that govern religious, anti-religious or political messages. “The Commonwealth [of Kentucky] went too far,” the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Court of Ken- Cartoon by Steve Benson I’m thankful to finally tucky resoundingly For all we do, this wall’s for you (and everyone) have the same opportunity ruled in favor of Hart. “ “To allow such plates The Freedom From Religion Foundation is proud to help in the fight to keep strong the wall to select a personal message as ‘IM4GOD’ and ‘LU- of separation between state and church.

One man’s journey spurs another man’s outlook on faith…it’s never just black and white! “This is mind expanding theatre at it’s best…” Tom Williams, Chicagocritic.com __________________________________________________________ Rancho Mirage, CDA –Feb. 1, 2013 - The Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre (CV REP) is announcing its third in-house production of their 2012-13 season, The Sunset Limited, by Cormac McCarthy, scheduled for a three week run at the CV REP theatre in Rancho Mirage from March 20-April 7, 2013.

  • Cormac Mccarthy's Suttree
    Missing in Portuguese: Prolegomenon to a Translation of Cormac McCarthy‟s Suttree Michael Scott Doyle (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) Missing in Portuguese is a translation of Cormac McCarthy‟s fourth novel, Suttree.1 Why should this be of concern? Because Portuguese is a major world language,2 Cormac McCarthy is one of the most acclaimed contemporary American novelists, and Suttree, published in 1979, is one of his most lauded novels. McCarthy—winner of a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship (1981), also known as the “genius grant,” the National Book Award (1992) and National Book Critics Circle Award (1992) for his novel All the Pretty Horses, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (2007), and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (2007) for The Road—is a high priest among American writers. While eight of his ten novels have been translated into Portuguese—O Guarda do Pomar in 1996 [The Orchard Keeper, 1965], Filho de Deus, 1994 [Child of God, 1974], Meridiano de Sangue, 2006 [Blood Meridian, 1985], Todos os Belos Cavalos, 1993 [All the Pretty Horses, 1992], A Travessia, 1999 [The Crossing, 1994], Cidades da Planície, 2001 [Cities of the Plain, 1998], Onde os Velhos Não Têm Vez, 2007 [No Country for Old Men, 2005] and A Estrada, 2007 [The Road, 2006]—Suttree awaits its rightful rendition into this major literary language as well.3 The translation-to-be will require the talents of a master wordsmith in order to felicitously bring the novel‟s many complexities into Portuguese, and doing so will enrich the library of world literature available in the Portuguese language.

How does theatre serve our community?” Each of our selections for our eighth season will give a different answer to these questions. Based on the belief that mankind created theatre to serve a spiritual need in our community, our riskiest and most challenging season yet will ask us to face mankind’s deepest mysteries. We open the season with one of the most powerful writers of our time, Cormac McCarthy (All the Pretty Horses, The Road, No Country for Old Men). The play, billed as “a novel in play form” brings us into a startling encounter on a New York subway platform which leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where they engage in a brilliant verbal duel on a subject no less compelling than the meaning of life. TV and film star Carl Lumbly (Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train, Alias, Cagney & Lacey) returns to the SF Playhouse to reunite with local favorite Charles Dean (White Christmas, Awake and Sing!) after having performed together in Berkeley Rep’s 1997 production of Macbeth.

  • I've Travelled a Lot on Amtrak Over the Years. At
    I’ve travelled a lot on Amtrak over the years. At one time or another I’d taken most of the major trains that head west: the California Zephyr, the Southwest Chief, and the Empire Builder. There was one branch of the Amtrak map, though, that I’d never taken. That was the Sunset Limited, the once grand old train that runs across the bottom of the country on the old Southern Pacific tracks. I’ve always wanted to take that train, and the wish would finally be granted on this trip. My main vacation in 2016 would take me to Los Angeles. I haven’t been to that city in a decade, yet when I stepped off the train platform at Union Station it seemed like I’d just been there yesterday. Everything was wonderfully familiar. L.A. is not a city I know really well (like Chicago), but it’s still a place that feels like home. It was good to get back there—to return to some old favorite places and to check out some things I hadn’t seen before. While our trip wouldn’t officially begin until tomorrow, I’m starting my re-cap today. My sister Margaret, who would accompany me on this vacation, came over to my place around 1:30pm. The bulk of the day was spent working with her laptop computer. She wanted to install Windows 10 on the machine before the free upgrade offer expired. When I upgraded my two computers a year ago, all the necessary programs downloaded in the background for days or weeks prior to the changeover.

Repository: Southwestern Writers Collection, The Wittliff Collections, Alkek Library, Texas State University-San Marcos Cormac McCarthy Papers SWWC Collection 091 Biographical Sketch Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and playwright, Cormac McCarthy, was born Charles McCarthy, Jr., on July 20, 1933, in Providence, Rhode Island. He was the third of six children born to Charles and Gladys McCarthy, preceded by sisters Jackie and Bobbie, and followed by Bill, Maryellen, and Dennis. In 1937, his parents moved the family to Knoxville, Tennessee, where his father was employed as a lawyer with the Tennessee Valley Authority. McCarthy spent much of his life in Tennessee, and his early works are clearly influenced by that region. His first four published novels, The Orchard Keeper (1965), Outer Dark (1968), Child of God (1973), and Suttree (1979), reflect the culture, myth and character of East Tennessee and Appalachia.
