Disgusting
[Read the article: "Just call it a 'no surrender' party"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]These fascist bastards have no ethics. None. Death strewn beyond the horizon, and they're throwing a veto party. Kiss my veteran ass, Georgie the Deserter.

Luntz=Goebbels
[Read the article: David Halberstam on today's American press]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Big lies told unceasingly becomes truth. We're being run by fascists, folks. Healthy forests. Clean air. No child left behind. Death tax. Now, death they do well, daily, by the droves. Scary.

Western Art
[Read the article: From Norman Rockwell to Abu Ghraib]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush knows nothing about the west, in the same way he knows nothing about basically anything of depth or importance. Russell, or Rungius or Fredrick Remington, or a host of others, depicted real people doing real things, or natural settings of great power and beauty. George is supremely ignorant of anything really western. Empty hat, no cattle. We raised our children in Jackson Hole, now home to one of the best wildlife/western art museums in the world. George couldn't find it, or his own flabby ass, with both hands. He's a Connecticut preppie poseur, and a cowardly warmonger. A real cowboy would beat the jackass like a rented mule.

Elephant Droppings, Lie upon Lie
[Read the article: The Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch frauds]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All the Bush apologists can do is lie, and dig in their expensive Italian heels. I much prefer good old fashioned bullshit to elepant droppings. They smell far worse. Oh, and another couple American soldiers died today, so we're on pace for around a hundred more dead in April. Nice surge, George, you deserting piece of heffalump dung.

Woofoshitz
[Read the article: Wolfowitz on the rocks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is Paulie's girlfriend the hooker or the hookie? What a slimeball. Nice job in Bagdhad, Woofer. What happened to those pallets full of freshly minted hundreds you had sent over there, Shitzer? Oh, right, the Iraqis have sloppy accounting techniques.

the Kuteness Kwotient
[Read the article: My vegan friend insists I justify myself]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Even notice that animal rights "people" care less and less as the "victims" get less and less cute. Big brown eyes? Can't eat 'em. Invertebrates? Yummy. Vegans tend strongly toward self righteousness and judgemental posturing. Much like right to lifers love fetuses but could care less about bombing moslem children into tiny bits, vegans pin the world's problems on eating meat and dairy. Horsehockey. Hindu sects won't harm a cow, but they'll kill other humans without pity. Makes perfect sense. For the record, our family doesn't eat much in the way of cow and pig. One son in law is a situational vegetarian who can't resist lamb. One daughter is a vegetarian who loves salmon. do I judge them? Nope. I you'd like too, piss off.

WTF?
[Read the article: When good actors do bad things]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why do we know this and why should we care? Innocencts are dieing in droves in Iraq, in Sudan, Darfur, being tortured in Guantanemo, and we should give a crap about a self serving over the hill "actress" and an angry actor. Proportionately, a piss in the Pacific.

DurianBlow
[Read the article: My vegan friend insists I justify myself]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My, what a clever rejoinder. Did you read that on a tofu label? Even vegans are full of shit, although I'm sure they'd claim their shit is purer and contains more fiber. Now, off to prepare a Stroganoff (that's strokin' off for you virgintarians) with Kobe style chuck eye, crimini mushrooms, vidalia onions, beef stock made from real dead cows, and a dollop of sour cream. Maybe some tarragon. So, Durian, may you and your bowels have a pleasant and ethically pure evening of self congratulation and massive defecation. Kissy kissy.

Purity Test for Artists
[Read the article: When good actors do bad things]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ray Charles was a junkie. so was billie Holliday. sinatra was a mobbed up jaggoff. Who are the cultural police who'll tell us who's pure enough to watch or listen to? PIss off, judgemental jerks.

Diversification
[Read the article: Who gets to use the N word?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Nigger. Nazi. Ninconpoop. N'ere do well. Nutsack. Nastyass. Nobgobbler. And the nastiest of all: Newt.

Effete Food Nazis
[Read the article: My vegan friend insists I justify myself]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Only in overstuffed Murka does the tender sensibilities of widdle wabbit wovers have any purchase at all. Do you think starving people give a flying vegan what kind of food they finally get to eat? Are they stewing over tofu vs. meat in Darfur? My grandfather had a saying: there's no one more materialistic than a starving man. Most of the world is not in the position to stroll around Whole Foods and having organic orgasms. Of course it matters what we eat, and it is troubling how gluttonous this country has become in many ways. But this dogmatic horseshit about juding people for judicious consumption of animals or animal products is the by-product of smug folk with way too much time on their hands. Get real, if you can find it from where you are. Jeez.

Hagel Is, McLame Isn't
[Read the article: "We cannot stay as an occupying force in the Middle East"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Johnny McLame has had his nose up Bushie's tushie since 2001. He's the BS Express. Hagel is an old time independent thinking republican, the kind my parents were until the Ray-gun zealots drove them out of the party in the early eighties. There hasn't been a republikan in our family since then, and, until a sea change, there won't be. Hagle is an actual man, like Richard Clark, and it's refreshing to see one on the other side of the aisle. I'm still all about John Edwards/Barrack Obama in '08, in my estimation an unbeatable ticket (even given the Lie-bold vote stealing that will undoubtedly occur, as it has in the last two presidential erections (I know; Hagel used to be involved with an auto-voting company. He's still a straight-up man.

Kevin Klan Kid
[Read the article: I saw John Edwards in the shampoo aisle]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Shouldn't it be O'Reillly with that line of crap. John Edwards exudes authenticty, and should be the next President of the United States.

Dumbwin69
[Read the article: A new low for Giuliani]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Al Gore was elected in 2000, had the Krispy Kreme Kourt not astoundingly intervened in the "we're not settting any precedent with this transparently partisan decision" Bush v Gore. 9/11 would not have happened, or at least on that scale. Al wouldn't have been on a five week vacation ignoring briefings entitled "Bin Laden determined to attack inside US", nor would he have brushed off Richard Clark eight months prior when he raised every possible red flag about terrorism preparedness. And, finally, thimblewit, we would not be in Iraq (where 104 more American soldiers have died so far thi month), complicit in heinous war crimes. Yeah, sure is lucky Al isn't President.
