is not a "real" word - and people who use it can not, and should not, be taken seriously. That's the "paradigm".

"Tosser" - that's a real word.

McCain is crazy - you realize that, right?

This guy is a JUDGE?

How the hell did that happen - and apparently the youngest-ever appointed to that particular position(35)?

There's no possible way he doesn't get $hit-canned, right? Right?

The problem here is that the staff are basically DMV rejects - little Hitlers with a ninth-grade education, too much power, no common sense and a grudge against mankind. I detest the whole thing and haven't flown for close to two years because of it(except when unavoidable.) If I feel this way as a passenger, I can't begin to imagine how it feels to be treated this way as a pilot. This is the kind of thing that makes one realize how the Nazis were able to take over - it happens when sad, stupid, unhappy, misanthropic people are handed power, and it's one of the least attractive traits of human nature.

Thank God not everyone behaves that way..

Wtf is this? You're making inuendos about a strategy that has been the province of the Repugnicans and the religious right for years, and now finally one of our guys is getting smart enough to use it - what do you want him to do - use carrier pigeons or something?

As someone said earlier today - Salon and The New Yorker are doing the right's dirty work for them. Is Joan Walsh perhaps a Republican plant?

Abba sucked donkey-balls then, and they're even worse now. It's collective insanity.

I love you, Heather - and Cesar...He who disagrees with me sucks c**k by choice!

You guys just will not give up, will you? You're seriously suggesting that John Insane might be better, in any regard, for anybody - anybody?(apart from maybe rich white Repugnicans)?

Shame on you, Salon - your partisanship has made you totally lose the thread.

"To think of Obama as a latter-day Kennedy is to practically beg for disappointment. We know how that story ends."

You people are getting slyer with your innuendo, but it's the same old same old...why do we know how that ends? They're not the same person - are they? I think Rupert Murdoch has quietly bought you out....

What about Cooper, Tyler, Madison, Baker, Skyler, Hunter, Taylor, and all of those other ridiculous names that are either occupations or place-names?

I'm white, btw.

Jack and Jill -

You're a dem who's going to vote for McCain? You will work HARD for McCain - McCain is no more sexist than Obama?

No - you're a troll, carrying your pail of water for the old white guy - and you're sure as hell no Democrat.

Nope, that was exactly my reaction - immediately....and I'm no prude...

made very forgettable, bland pop(not rock) music. And someone remind me, because I'm having trouble remembering - when did a black band EVER rule rock? I'm serious...Funk, rap, jazz, soul, R&B, plus and a lot of crossover stuff - definitely - but rock has tended to be very much a white genre...

that this is a (very old) recipe for disaster?

Here he is:

I wish everyone would read this - then we'd hear no more about this "hero" - even from well-meaning and decent people who've been fooled by his schtick.

"And where is all that lurid sexual fantasy coming from? When I watch Sarah Palin, I don't think sex -- I think Amazon warrior!"

Um - sounds kinda like sex to me, Camille.....not that there's anything wrong with that...

stfu, you Repugnican cipher - you're a disgrace.

Yes.

Just look at this guy - we've all met him - you know - the geeky, socially inept, thinks he's a genius, tragic loser from your IT department. Somebody call the fashion police!

Is this an ad hominem attack? You betcha!(wink).

The latest addition to the Salon Troll-roll. Now get under the bridge with the rest of them....

How the hell can you mention this drivel in the same breath as (especially) "The Sopranos" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm"?

Soulless? Oy veh!

I'm speechless...

Am I the only person who thinks this guy is a Republican troll?

"vanishingly".....

and "liberal"...

the second I read it. This whole hoax is despicable - and so bloody obviously faked. This woman needs psychiatric help.

Until November 4.

Fuck off.

It's fear of it being stolen - again.

Since you're letting the fox guard the henhouse - can I interest you in a touchscreen voting machine?

and we shouldn't fall for it - they're losing, and they know it. It's a last desperate attempt to steal it. Don't let it happen.

Vote.

Your time at Harvard seems to have done nothing for your critical thinking skills. Your "arguments" are nothing short of ludicrous, a collection of hysterical, unsubstantiated claims of fact and false equivalence, with absolutely no basis in reality - in other words, typical fear-mongering Republican bullshit.

Welcome back! And remember - don't forget to take your meds, or you'll have to go right back in again!
