For those wanting to donate to him, you can do so through ActBlue. I made my screen name a link to it.

Really enjoyed it. Thanks!

You haven't had abortion coverage since Bush II took office in 2000.

Clinton restored this coverage (which had been removed under Reagan) as soon as he took office in 1992, but W immediately shitcanned it.

If Obama restored abortion coverage to federal health plans, I have been unable to find any evidence of it.

So millions of women currently covered by the federally administered health plan already lack this coverage.

It's a legal medical procedure. You don't get to tell other people what legal medical procedures they may have. It's not up to you to decide that for them. It's not at all hard for this pro-choicer to say that a woman should NEVER not be allowed to choose abortion. Her body, not yours. Her choice, not yours. Once you start modifying that choice as "moral" or "immoral" you start down the anti-choicers' path.

"Its" -- not "it's."

Please...just say SWAPPED. The "out" is NOT necessary. You just swap things. You don't swap them OUT. OK? Please?

Becoming a parent is usually totally voluntary. Becoming a caretaker for a sick relative. or some other equally valid reason with social repercussions requiring an employee to be absent through no fault of his or own, is voluntary to a much lesser degree and with a much lesser degree of public acclaim.

Why are parents of newborns are special compared to everyone else with an equally or more compelling need for paid time off?

I resent like hell having to subsidize them at everyone else's expense just because they are lucky enough to be federal employees.

Prosecuting "Bush-era criminals" is NOT about "settling political scores." WHO they are and whose administration they worked for is IRRELEVANT. It's what they DID. If they committed criminal acts, they should be prosecuted just like anybody else.

I would say the EXACT same thing regardless of their or my political affiliation.

And you call ATHEISTS ignorant?

GMAFB!

And I can't believe I wasted ten minutes of my life reading it.

When there are so many people in the world with real, tangible troubles -- losing jobs, losing homes, losing health insurance, losing their lives because they're not the right religion, gender, and/or sexual orientation -- I'm supposed to feel sorry for YOU because of your NAME?

Sorry, don't think sol.

That made me want to go to that church, and I'm a nonbeliever.

Thanks, Joan.

Does her obsession about societal evils traced to unwed mothers extend to conservative Republican daughter/unwed mom Bristol Palin?

Matt "I'm GLAD you're back" Lauer missed the boat on that one.

Not much of a Lauer fan either; he gave Kitty Kelly an even harder time than he gave the vile psychotic Coulter when he interviewed Kelly about her Bush family biography. Hopefully he smashed his fist into a very unforgiving wall after this interview.

I hope to GOD I never have you as my doctor for anything.

You sound like you would rather be doing ANYTHING else.

It's the readers who, day in and day out, really do his job for him.

Never was it more obvious than in this column.

I am LOVING it.

We are doomed.

It demeans Salon to waste space on this person.

If you do nothing wrong with that.

But I don't and I doubt I'm the only one, so please stop with the all-inclusive WE.

I couldn't care less about the Olympics.

I'm not watching the Olympics.

The Olympics have absolutely nothing to do with my life.

I have other interests and other things that inspire me. But the Olympics have never done a thing for me.

Yes. That's exactly what Ford did for Nixon -- pardoned him in advance.

Talk is cheap. Obama won't do a fucking thing beyond that - if he does that much - to bring them to justice if he gets elected. And I believe that will cost him re-election.

You always get bashed for not being a true believer Obama cheerleader, so I'll be glad to take some of the heat off you.

I think Obama is a terribly lame candidate who brings very little to the table except high flown rhetoric he doesn't even write himself, and I want more in a candidate than somebody who talks a good game. Obama's vote on the FISA bill, and his incredibly lame and disingenuous (a word he likes) response to the fallout, was a dead giveaway that Obama is just another double-talking politician. And Obama's lackadaisical response to McCain's untiring attacks -- even wimpily calling McCain an honorable man -- are John Kerry 2.0.

If he won't do it, then Obama needs a highpowered VP who isn't afraid to go on the attack against McCain, AND who isn't afraid of conservatives. That person, for me, despite her flaws, is Hillary Clinton. If Obama gets elected, and god forbid anything happens to him, I don't want the next president to be Evan Bayh or Tim Kaine or Sam Nunn. If it can't be Hillary Clinton I'd go with Joe Biden, but he has already run for the nomination enough times without getting near it that it's clear Joe Biden is NOT whom most people really want.

Hillary Clinton's performance in the primaries demonstrate that she IS the candidate Democrats want most, after Obama himself. That is simply a fact. If he doesn't choose her, than Obama is cutting off his nose to spite his face.

Among other things.

I think aligning yourself with the likes of Bob Barr does a terrible disservice to your cause.

She sounds like the kind of brain dead idiot who would decide that that was the next logical step in this poignant romance.
