Tracking
[Read the article: Think you're anonymous? Watch out.]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It may be quite easy (sort of) to track the IP addresses of the defendants. However you then need to prove it is they who have posted the offensive items. If this is a civil suit then, under the standard, this is a feasible prosecution... except, that tons of folks out there leave their wireless routers unprotected, meaning anyone in range can jump on. I am not sure whether it is possible to evaluate post facto, whether a router was previously using encryption, but I doubt it. I know that about 30 posts from as single IP address over the course of a month or two, or more accurately, physical address location, given an unencrypted wireless network in an urban area woul give me enough doubt to question the certainty of the identification.
Unless, we want to assert that people have to be responsible for their own networks and what happens therein...yuck.
How about this: Don't post your picture on 'social networking' sites, idiot.

Hillll-arious
[Read the article: Feminists don't have a sense of humor?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Actually, I have to admit: not especially funny. Not insightful. This is sort of the 'middle school teacher tries to be hip, but still get a message across' thing that won't do anyone any good. And since when are 'feminists' the guardians of molested children?
As for you mechanic: he probably DOES try to squeeze people... most mechanics do. I think it's required by law.
I'll also add: don't use the word 'delicious' as an adjective, unless you are referring to a nice moist cake. It's annoying to use it as here, and Camille Paglia does it all the time. Yuck.

Press the M key for MURDER
[Read the article: My boss forwards fluffy kitten e-mails!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think you know what time it is. It is time to set up a meeting in Outlook. The outlook for you: delicious... the outlook for your boss: MURDER.
It is time to MURDER your boss. He/she/it will be well versed in what may happen to a lonely individual on a rain soaked highway, or what the individual in the broken down car in the neighborhood could do to them.... Boss has read these. It is time to teach the Boss who's really boss with an icepick to the back of the head... blood sprayed across the projector leaving a burundy stain splashed on the wall in redirected light. That will be one scary chain mail your boss never gets to write and forward to 15 people they he or she knows!

Boy-O
[Read the article: Clinton and the "boys," again]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am in Philadelphia and I use the word 'boys' as vernacular all the time, along with, occasionally, 'lads'. I don't know how anyone could read it another way. Those of you bringing up the use of 'boy' as a racially derogatory have been watching In The Heat Of the Night of Nick at Night too much.
I suppose it shows that vernacular is not understood everywhere even if we americans think of ourselves as one nation. Is Grieve from the west coast of sumpin'?

MURDER makes the heart grow fonder
[Read the article: I'm in love with my bandmate]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All manner of folks become infatuated. Some of them are able to consummate their disgusting little physical obsessions... for most of us, however, the torment of Love is all we will ever feel. The deep sad longing that the closest we will be to our most cherished sex-meat-obsession-targets is under Gaia's dirt-ridden skin is enough to make us MURDER.
And indeed this is what you should do. You are akin to Ed Gein, alone in a large house(band?) pining away for your secret loves, who think THEY ARE TOO GOOD FOR YOU. You will be closer in death, especially when you slice off his genitalia and keep it in a box in your closet, to hold, to covet. Eventually, your earthly corpus will pine for another love, but you can go scampering down the alleys until you stumble on another human-meat-product who resembles your lost love, and you may MURDER them and turn their facial skin into shrunken heads (or whatever... its up to you, you obsessive weirdo).

Women candidates
[Read the article: Queen Hillary's disruptive court]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Feinstein is Lieberman Mark 2 -- Co-sponor of the moronic PATRIOT act, an vociferous death penalty proponant, co-sponsor of at least one Flag Burning amendments and lamblasted the IRA just to show she could involve herself in topics of no import to her. Or rather the last item is probably due to her unbending support of the govermment of Israel. While I can understand being pro-Israel in many aspects, even an avid Israel supporter can point out SOME flaws in the Israeli behavior.
And to boot, she is fantastically corrupt having farmed out contracts to her husband, friends and supporters.
I short she is no different than what we have, and, in addition, is almost as personally abrasive as Clinton.
And for that matter, I will insist again: Paglia is a grating gasbag with not a thought of her own, although plenty of ego to cram into her vapid assertions. Let her be gone Salon!

Kerik
[Read the article: Goodbye, Mr. Bush]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Was not Rudy's answer. In fact he was the last of the police commissioner's I think. The first was Bratton, who was run out of town for gaining too much individual recognition and standing on his own.... Rudy loves 'loyalists' and hence overlooked Kerik's.
At any rate... you should do your research/googling or at least clean up your wording to make clear the truth. I think there was a good article in the New Republic a few weeks back detailing RG's rise and paranoia.

Beat her?
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know... I think Andi has decided to redefine 'bitch' to suit her own predesignated point regarding sexism. Clearly, it is merely a gender-specific version of 'asshole.'
Or when a grumpy, dusty old broad says 'beat the bitch' it is merely to be mean. I myself would agree that HR Clinton is not exactly oozing charisma, but by any definition of 'bitch,' mine or the one defined by the Bitch editor, I would have trouble finding that that in Clinton.

Nothing I love more
[Read the article: What's worse than watching your teams lose? Watching them win]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Than another piece of trite horseshite about Boston athletics.
