This is just another example...
[Read the article: Send in the clowns]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of the pro-clown-liberal-media-"Patch Adams"-Elite Hollywood agenda being forced on us. If a woman undergoing fertilization procedures wants to have a clown present, she should simply invite her husband to accompany her.
Also, isn't it funny how close "Coulrophobia" is to Coulterphobia? A clown by any other name...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]There *is* no Chappelle's Show in Israel. Israeli satirical shows often deal with current events, politics, and religion
And Chappelle's Show does what instead?

I wonder...
[Read the article: What else we're reading]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How much of the training was actually on the husband and how much was self-training by the author of the piece. It seems to me that she made big changes in the way that she reacted to her husband's foibles, which is really what had an impact. She wasn't just applying these training techniques to him - she stopped performing behaviors that made the situation worse for her, or that fed into her feelings of frustration.
How much of the improvement in her situation was him doing things differently, and how much of it was her realizing that his behavior wasn't about her?
That said, it's creepy to even think about giving your spouse a mackerel - those things are loaded with mercury.

Patriotism
[Read the article: Swift-boat this]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Allen campaign responded by saying that it never meant to question Webb's patriotism
I would love to see the Webb campaign respond by releasing a response saying that they certainly meant to call Allen's patriotism into question.
I always felt that the proper response to the swift boat attacks was simple.
Tell the American people to ignore the innuendo and attacks and simply look at the official service record. On one side you have a man who served his country in combat, was injured in combat, and decorated for his bravery. On the other hand you have a coward who avoided serving his country in combat, and the records are unclear on whether or not he completed his service at all. These records are clear and inarguable testments to the men in question.
Simple direct, and it moves the focus from "being in a branch of the military" to "serving your county in combat" which Bush has no response for at all. Also, calling him a coward puts him on the defensive, since it's true.

Male version of slut
[Read the article: Superman is super-gay? Lois Lane's a slut?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm pretty sure that word for a male that behaves in the ways attributed to a slut is "male".

Jumping to Conclusions
[Read the article: Superman is super-gay? Lois Lane's a slut?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why does having Superman's baby make Lois Lane a slut? It doesn't even indicate that they had sex.
It's a miracle that every woman from Smallville to Metropolis doesn't have a super-bastard, assuming that nocturnal emmisions are as natural for Kryptonians as they are for humans.
Lois is the victim here.

Skoot and other man-slut definers...
[Read the article: Superman is super-gay? Lois Lane's a slut?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Keep in mind that in the case of Lois Lane the label of Slut is being applied because she had sex once (assuming that she was not impregnated by Superman's supersonic, flying, womb seeking, intestine perforating supersperm when he prematurely ejaculated during that clothed scene in the second movie), and by the fact that she has a child and a second boyfriend, with whom she presumably, but does not explicity have sex. Would any of the people you refer to as man-sluts be called so for *two* such affairs? I think not. No doubt their crimes are way, way above this level.
The bar is way lower for women than it is for men. The appropriate term for a man that does the same things is simply...a man. In fact, if you have done at least as much as lois has, you aren't even a man. You are probably going to be called queer, since after all, you are in you tweneties and you have nly spelt with TWO people? Really, dude; face it, you're a fag.
We won' even gpo into the test that is generally applied to calling a woman an "ignorant slut", which is simply that a single man disagrees with her views on something not related to sex at all.

ambiguously gay duo
[Read the article: Superman is super-gay? Lois Lane's a slut?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, I am assuming from your post that you admit there is nothing fishy about Bruce Wayne's relatioship with either of the post-Dick (ha!) robins?

Golf and Girls
[Read the article: For female golfers, it's not the swing, it's the style]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I remember being appalled about 13 years ago at a Digital World conference when Trip Hawkins, then the head of Electronic Arts said in a speech that they were looking to expand the market for their golf games by adding female player models, and providing a wide variety of outfits and accessories to dress themwith. "Women love to shop!" he said.
I remain appalled to this day.

Dear god...
[Read the article: Democrats ready to dump Lieberman]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The idea that there could be any question about whether or not the party would back the candidate it's members voted for in the primary</> pretty much sums up everything that is wrong in our democracy, much less the spineless Democrats.

Where No Jew Has Gone Before
[Read the article: Cool Jews]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How can you put "Spock" on your list of cool jews in history and leave off William Shatner, who is not only cooler, but enjoying a resurgence these days on Boston Legal?
It's because he's Canadian, isn't it.
p.s. Also, Spock is a character on the show "Star Trek". He was played by non-fictional Jewish actor Leonard Nimoy. Was Spock's human mother on the show Jewish, qualifying him for the list?

Awesome!
[Read the article: Is my IQ high enough? My dress size low enough?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, the entire upcoming generation of young women is being labeled after a Spice Girls song pimping Pepsi.
I think that says more than anything else in the entire article.

Fair and Blanaced
[Read the article: Mexicans ditch sexist wedding vows]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Glad that the one sided vows are gone, but I have to say that I think that it would be a GREAT idea if BOTH parties had vows that said they promised to live with the annoying things the other party does, and promise not to intentionally push their partner's buttons. Seems to me like a lot of divorces come about because people don't realize they are going to have to actually live with a person with flaws.
As a friend of mine once said "Looking back after 10 years, I realize that I spent 3 miserable years of my life divorcing a perfectly nice person who simply couldn't put their clothes i a hamper".
