B...

I'm sorry, but you must have spent the last two years on Mars. The controversy over the Indian tribe's casinos has been very documented across a wide spectrum of the media. Your letter smacks of the usual right wing Christian attempt to deflect and deny.

I must agree with a number of the letters on here. I am profoundly sick of listening to people explain and describe their rediculous religious customs, dress and beliefs. The more they expound and the deeper they explain the more they sound like they are, in fact, trying to convince themselves more than anyone else. Wear your silly hat on whatever day has been ordained. Pull out your cross and brandish like a vampire is about to appear at any second just leave me alone.

So Jack Abramoff became devout as a young man...probably around the same time he started on a life of crime. The religious right will lap all of this up as a convenient way to excuse him and, more importanly, the Republican slime he's covered in.

Cowboys. Put a couple of cowboys in it. I've heard Christians really like cowboys.

...he's classy, real classy.

It would be nice if we could actually get reliable information and informative, intelligent discussion of important events in this country. Chris Mathews and the rest of the (liberal?) media do nothing but push their political vaudeville.

I'm also slightly suspicious of this new tape. Mr. B's apperances always seem to boost Bush's poll numbers.

Nick will win and deservedly so. The final three will in all likelyhood be Nick, Santino and chloe...they will finish in that order from first place to third. Chloe is talented but completely unispired. Her line will be blandly pretty. Santino is an enormous talent, He also knows he's as much P.T. Barnum as he is a designer. Nick is very talented and his taste is flawless.

Sorry, folks, no way Daniel V. can win. He's talented, but very young and has no real design sence yet. I'm guessing 4th place for him. Of course the producers will have input! There are a group that is expendable and the judges can eliminate them as needed (Zulema, Kara and Andrea are probably the expendable ones left). Daniel V. will have made it much farther than imagined and be a sad, but should-be-very-proud-of-his-showing final boot. This whole season has been constructed as Nick against Santino. Both very talented, very different and both will put sensational lines together. They can't NOT have those two in the finals, in my opinion. You want the most talented and interesting designers presenting a line. People are responding to Daniel because he's nice. His line would be very dull. It ain't gonna happen.

Amazing that so many people are throwing in their two cents about this show. It is the best reality show ever. The personalities, certainly colorful and over the top, take a back seat to the work. And its a fascinating glimpse into that business. Even the bad designers are really talented. The judges are industry heavywieght unlike the Gong Show calibre American Idol judges (Simon Cowell might as well be Jaye P. Morgan). Fun, interesting, classy, Project runway has really done it right.

...and Tim Gunn should be on Mt. Rushmore. He's a national treaure.

Army be damned. Now we're hearing more threatening talk about the military being an option in the Iranian nuclear stand-off.

Who on earth would read a book on Oprah's recommendation?! I'll never understand the fascination with that woman. She's a smug, talentless, smarmy. self-serving egomaniac. If someone offered her enough cash to stick a light bulb up her ass on pay-per-view she'd figure out a way to call it an emotional milestone...and grab the light buldb as fast as possible.

Maybe its me, but I really would have LOVED to have heard that Mr. Frey had faced The Big O for his just punishment only to turn the tables on her and expose her for the simple-minded, self-centered phoney she is...now that would have been great tv.

The Democrats sat on the sidelines over Iraq waiting for Bush and the Republicans to hang themselves. They handed George Bush four more years. The Democrats sat on the sidelines smirking while Bush and the Republicans trashed prescription drug coverage. They're sitting on the sidelines while Bush stacks the Supreme Court with his extremists. They allowed the Republicans to take a faux moral control of the Abramoff scandal only offering their own milquetoast replay in the Republican's self-serving wake. Guess what? The "let them hang themselves" strategy isn't working...they're hanging the whole country. It will only ensure that George Bush will be followed by eight years of John McCain.

The immoral and extreme Republican Party has been allowed to trash this country. The Democrats offer no solution.

Ann Coulter is just a season or two away from appearing on The Sureal World.

"The Democrats have to do a much better job in making their case on these issues," Illinois Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday. "These last-minute efforts -- using procedural maneuvers inside the Beltway -- I think has been the wrong way of going about it."

I don't seem to recall Mr. Obama saying much to make the case against Alito's confirmation. I don't recall Mr. Obama having much to say about anything, to be honest. His astute observations leave me a little cold coming saftely after the fact. I voted for Barack Obama, but I will not vote for him when he is up for re-election. At this point the Democratic party does not need self-serving milquetoastes. John Kerry, Ted Kennedey, Dick Durbin...they may have their faults, but god love them, you know where they stand...and they're not afraid to stand up and say it. They can't do it alone, though.
