Highly Unlikely
[Read the article: What was Charlie Crist thinking?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Regardless of how allowing felons to vote after returning to society may have effected the outcome if the 2000 election, it is proposterous to suggest that GW would ever actually be made commisioner of baseball. When has he ever demonstrated the diplomatic skill, or moral authority required for such an important position?

Move to Portland.
[Read the article: I'm obsessed with being a hipster]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Portland OR is for the Tragically Unhip what Florida is to aging northerners. Here you can transform from a Tragically Unhip Brooklyn Duck into a Dork Chic Swan. Come on in. The water's ... well... kind of chilly actually.

Why did Rutgers let Imus get to them?
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know. Maybe some member of the team had great grandmother who was raped by her owner or something, and getting called a whore by a rich white man stirred up a few centuries worth of pissed off.

I Just Threw Up In My Mouth
[Read the article: Is it too late to start a band at 45?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have a day job. I'm a musician. Big fucking deal! If you have to write an advice columnist for permission to play music then you probably don't deserve to play music... even in your soundproofed basement, with doors locked. You need to face up to the fact that the mindless robots that you work with are just better and more couragous people than you are. Once you have realized that you may then write Cary again to ask for permission to play music, but only in your soundproofed basement, with the doors locked.

Flashback
[Read the article: "Just call it a 'no surrender' party"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I thought Jeff Gannon already got booted from the press corp.

I know I shouldn't judge, but...
[Read the article: When good actors do bad things]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]from what I can see in the grocery line rags, and on MTV when I tarry there for a moment (like the show about coming out parties for rich kids), I get a strong impression that many of the children of the super rich are selfish pigs. So what that Alec Baldwin said it out loud?

Belly Flop
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]An upset for the ages is when both teams play their best and the underdog triumphs by 1 point in triple overtime. The Mavs got their asses whipped. I call that a belly flop. (And I'm a belly flop expert having been a life long Blazer fan.)

Rehabilitate?
[Read the article: Nixon knows best]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now seems like a good time to take stock when the Executive branch is involved in a conspiracy to undermine the constitution, the rule of law, the very foundations of democratic society, and no one gets punished. Most of the current cast of criminals that are a part of the current fiasco all earned their wings in the Nixon administration including Karl Rove who was an intern. If there is no punishment for trying to undermine multi pary democracy then why not try again?

Something that has always bothered me.
[Read the article: The German-Indian-Silicon Valley solar power solution]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Andrew- care to take a crack at why security costs are never included in "grid parity" calculations? Aren't they subsidies too? I've always wondered what would happen if we all got a huge income tax reduction, and instead you had to pay your share of the Pentagon budget at the pump.

Is that all?
[Read the article: Joe Biden lets it all hang out]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"The self-made senator, who graduated from the University of Delaware with a C average, can only triumph if experience ends up mattering more than excitement."
Oh- and if saying things that make him sound like an idiot count. Or if the "Apoo" voting block gets all hot for Biden. Or maybe all those well groomed african american voters get on the Biden train to freedom. If experience is all one needs to be a good President then I'd vote for Hugh Heffner over Biden.

What a shame!
[Read the article: The National Review mind]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of all the boats lost at sea that this particular boat did not sink.

3.5%
[Read the article: Bush was against a pay raise for the troops before he was for it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Where I work (and with Social Security Benefits 3.1%) 3.5% is considered a Cost of Living increase, not technically a pay raise. The bastards.

Let's Be Fair
[Read the article: Hillary's chest war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why not just get it all on the table? Next debate we can all get a close look at Hillary's rack. Followed of course by a close examination, measurement,and weighing of all of the prospective presidential penis'(peni?).

Nice Work NPR
[Read the article: The really smart, serious, credible Iraq experts O'Hanlon and Pollack]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not only did Pollack get a segment on Talk of the Nation to promote the new and improved Iraq, but The World opened with the lead in "A war critic has some good news about Iraq". War critic? Nicely done jerk wads.

Guilt by Association
[Read the article: The Padilla verdict]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Padilla is convictable for helping, associating with, communicating with people who committed murder under the auspices of a shadowy, loosely connected organization, then shouldn't all militia members here in the states be brought to justice because Timothy McVeigh bombed the federal building in OKC?
-
Bai is an ass.
[Read the article: Are Democrats really so lame?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And he's blind.
Dems stand for universal healthcare, and end to imperial wars, restoration of the constitution, sane environmental policy, and the right of working people everywhere to eat. I know that and I'm not even a freaking thinktank superstar or pompous pundit.

Superman 2
[Read the article: Isn't 16 a little young for marriage? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Leo-
I believe it was Superman flying faster than the speed of light (orbiting the earth) that allowed him to turn back his (and earths) clock long enough for him to save Lois. Regardless of the the scientific veracity of the metaphor (or Superman 2) holding alliterations up to scientific scrutiny is pretty party pooperish. Our lives advance day by day. The world rotates once and we are one day older. Hence the sense that turning back the clock also sends the world spinning backward. Not true? So what!

O'Hanlon the skeptic
[Read the article: The D.C. establishment versus American public opinion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As always NPR is doing its part. This morning Tom Bowman reported that even skeptics like Michael O'Hanlon are being won over by Petraeus. Welcome to National Pravda Radio.

Anne Collins in NYT
[Read the article: Boys against girl?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Anne had a hilarious take on the 6 men piling on spin. Hillary did a remarkable job considering that most of her positions are indefensible.
