No crap
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A friend of mine had a saying in the nineties... I have no exact idea why this particular band was involved, but I certainly get it: "I like the Talking Heads, but I hate people who love the Talking Heads.
... is the way I feel about Obama,

Anti semite?
[Read the article: Dick Cheney was never a "grown-up"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Look, lets stop pointing out facts and just point out: the term 'neo-con' is an anti-semetic term. Strong jews like Richard oerle and Cheney's neice know it's true.

The Humans
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I don't think anyone in my peer group, including my parents and my friends, would be comfortable saying, 'I'm not ready for a woman president.' They would be ostracized. Saying, 'She's had plastic surgery' or 'Her attitude is off-putting' are fine."

Item(s)!
[Read the article: The rubes and the elites]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Item! - Sirota is a moron, and yes, his argument is one of absolute causality.
Item! - I'm not sure the author makes much sense regarding Clinton. For one, the socalled 'lunchpail' issues of economy and healthcare.. Obama is about as active on these than Hillary. Indeed, in PA, he has far more coherently expressed himself on these issues than Hillary.
Item! - I am a long-standing Obama supporter and donator. Even I can see he was out of hand. Anyone trying to aggressively dismiss this is merely being an utter loyalist. If you don't understand two things... that a) the issue of class matters, and that b) the form of one's argumentation is as important as the content... surely isn't a progressive, but moreover is possibly not been on this earth for more than 15 years or so.
Item! - Peter Beinart and The New Republic are 'liberal?'... not by any stretch of the imagination.

Of no consequence in the long run
[Read the article: What Pennsylvania tells us]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]While this may open up a chance for Hillary should she follow through by winning Indiana, the consequences for at lest the big state of Pennsylvania are approaching zero.
There is no issue to consider. Whoever runs, likely Obama will not suffer any consequences here (in PA). Just like in all the other state-wide elections, local or national, the democrats will blow out their stringholds in Philly and Pittsburgh. All they need then is a smattering of votes through the rest of the state. They can afford to lose the rest of the state by 3:2 or more if they do what they do. Philly itself will go 70-80% democrat... that pretty much closes the deal.

Are you bovvered?
[Read the article: Feminism is the new funny]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I do recall broadsheet peeps being rightfully offended by Hitchens' assertion that women jus' ain't funny.
Since that time, I have slowly watch a creeping propaganda movement eminating from salon defending the existence of wacky women. Mething Les Madames doth protest too much! Seriously.
And at any rate, who the fack is Tina Fey? I have heard heard the name for some time, but recent pictures I have seen, and the adverts for this movie have lead me to one definate conclusion: I wouldn't know this women if I fell on her.
But relying on truisms: I understand she is from Saturday Night Live: SNL is not funny. Ergo -> Fey ain't funny. This looks like a wacky slapsticky bore, and my friend told me she wrote mean Girls or something. I have to say, none of this is working me into a either giggles or a feminist fervor (nevermind the clonflation of such).
I'll give the fey woman a chance, mostly based on Philadelphia civic boosterism as I have gathered from Wiki she is from Upper Darby (is Fey a Greek name?), but I see no reason Salon increasing take on Fey as a patron saint of funny women. It seems Hitchens has made you crazy... are you bovvered?

Southie is a case of gentrification, but in this case it is white characters being gentrified out. there has to be some sort or article in there somewhere.

Return of the Thrasher
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]At long last, the Thrasher has returned with his 'activism' and the Grand Meta-Ideas, and lols.
Thrasher: As one blacktivist to another, I welcome you in the name of Frantz Fanon. It has been to long!

And the Thrashing
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Indeed I am. I had no idea you were a MI St. alum AND had the exceptional expereince to have attended not one, but two law schools. These elitists have no concept of what makes us who we are - what makes us activists.
I myself have been mocked for my experience working, hands on, on the prison reform issue during during two separate extended periods of my life.
Elitists and bigots all!

nonsense
[Read the article: In defense of Lou Dobbs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dobbs is a vile bigot. No one has suggested he be arrested. This has nothing to do with the first amendment. Our lawmakers have the right to free speech as well, which they have used. One point might be that a menacing tone coming from lawmakers could be deemed a threat but there is no hint of that here. Indeed, these lawmakers are expressing the will of many of the constituants who have elected them.

[Read the article: Can't "lesbians" belong to us all?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't find Lemon Chicken to be the equal of chicken or pork dumplings. I feel some meals are better than others. What is your point? Is it really necessary to sit around discussing the minutia of your personal opinion?
If you'd like I can send you color swatchs of what I am considering painting my walls, and I will hear out your opinion.

Dead Souls!!
[Read the article: You are not your bookcase]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just read that. I'm no literary snob though. I'm more likely to be found, in my cups, overturning the carriage.
