The art world is slowly shifting away from immitative arts and towards innovative ones
[Read the article: Is rap racist?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That can be summed up in one word: LAZY.
-
Not a complete waste of time
[Read the article: The way forward?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Its further tightens the ball and chain of Iraq around Bush's ankle...and his Republican supporters get tangled up in it as well.
-
"we are supposed to be finding an American Idol."
[Read the article: Sanjaya sent packing!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are any of those American Idol people talented? I don't watch and I'd certainly would never listen to the caterwhauling that passes as "talent" on the show.
However, it was fun following the weird Sanjaya saga in the news. Poor kid, I wish he had won the whole darn thing. There's no doubt in my mind the producers dumped him not the viewrs. They probably wanted him gone before their favorites were in danger of being Sanjayanated. I hope the ratings drop now that he's gone.

I disavow, aggressively, any implication that there was a political nature in this.
[Read the article: GOP senator calls for Gonzales' resignation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Then why is Gonzales' keister in the hot seat? He's only calling for the Gonzales' resignation to air the stink out of the room. The Adminstration was trying to re-create the US attornies as political henchmen. The Republicans are trying to turn this into a more benign situation of incompetence. They can't be allowed to let Gonzales' play the sin-eater. effectively letting the bigger fish (ahem Karl Rove) wriggle off the hook.

simply "adding another leg" to its mission
[Read the article: So long, "stand up, stand down"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is this in addition to the "surge"? Is "adding another leg" the same as a "surge" or is it something different. Will the "surge" and the "adding another leg" work in tandem or are their goals different. Where will the manpower come from for the "adding another leg"? How much will it cost to "add another leg"?
Democrats show some balls and cut the funding for this disaster now.

He is our No. 1 crime fighter. "Holy alternate universe Batman!"
[Read the article: "He's our No. 1 crime fighter"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush's ostentatious show of confidence for those two scoundrels, and Cheney still making the usual rounds with his bizarre pronouncements on Iraq.
We have to be reaching the tipping point where most of the American people as well as Republican members of Congress have to believe these two are on acid or nuts.

"every American would say we sorely miss having you daily on the scene."
[Read the article: "Dearly beloved Bushes"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How much was that ass-licking shill paid to say that?! If he wanted to be accurate he should have said, "Mr. President, your family better just be stisfied enjoying its vast fortune because you're finished as a political entity."
"Bush fatigue"? Maybe "Bush exhaustion and disgust" is more to the point. I do believe in that venal little mind of his, George Bush knows he has been a complete and utter failure as President, and that he will be remembered among the worst to serve in that office. I would have some respect for the man if he tried in his dwindling days to right some of the disaster he inflicted on this country and the world. But instead he seems to have a smirking contempt for everything except his narrow little circle.
Even Nixon tried (and in some ways succeeded) to rehabilitate his reputation after leaving office. I have a feeling this one will be as arrogant, smarmy and course in his post Presidential days as he is now. He will be a permanent disgrace to this country.

I don't know if I'm that optimistic in regards to any Bush appointee at this point.
[Read the article: Karl in the middle]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Or maybe some of them are reading the writing on the wall, and are scrambling to salvage their own careers.
-
More than a quip, it should be a manifesto.
[Read the article: Discretion is the better part of valor]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush, Cheney, their approval numbers are in the sewer. Delay is out there today throwing up more trash. The Democrats should refuse to engage them. Why bother? They're becoming more and more contemptable jokes as the days go on. They're shelf life is up, move past them, move forward and refuse to play they're desperate toxic game.

Hip Hop: the New Uncle Tom
[Read the article: Who gets to use the N word?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All this boring, faux high-brow discussion of a vulgar and simple-minded "art form." I find it strange that so much of the hip hop culture demeans blacks and black women and is couched in the shakey notion that such language and attitude is empowering to blacks. Bullshit. Hip hop is big business mostly spoon-fed to surly white teenagers who listen to cartoonish baffoons who use hurtfull and insulting language about themselves for the amusement of their audience (surly white teenagers).
That's really empowering.

Who was in the Whitehouse on 9/11?
[Read the article: Giuliani pulls a Cheney]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it a Republican president who had ignored warnings right up to a month before the incident?
I think we'd fare better with the other guys.

He's a drunk and she's stoned...
[Read the article: It's hard work, or maybe it isn't]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...that can be the only rational explanation
I always shake my head whenever people talk about George Bush being such a "regular guy" and how they'd like to have a beer with him. They're both frighteningly souless and out of touch.
Since her husband has taken office there has been one catatrophe after another (many his fault, some not). Laura Bush has remained largely silent save a robotic and insincere comment here and there to let us know her medication is working. For all of their sanctamonious god talk, they both seem cold and heartless.

Plus...
[Read the article: It's hard work, or maybe it isn't]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I definitely get a creepy J.R/Sue Ellen Ewing feeling from those two.
-
If she refuses...
[Read the article: But first, I'll be buying some shoes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]throw her in jail, or send her ass to Syria for questioning.

Tenet admits to saying the "slam dunk" business.
[Read the article: Tenet: Bush, Cheney went to war with no "serious debate"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Then maybe he should have chosen his words more carefully and engaged in the serious debate he now talks about.
-
And that is not a serious foreign policy.
[Read the article: The world's largest radical fringe]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and setting the world on fire for the express purpose of showering cash on your war-profiteering cronies IS a serious foreign policy?

Nosferatu
[Read the article: A new low for Giuliani]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If elected will he ditch his Monroe drag for Wonder Woman drag? I mean we do want to prtray an image of strenght and resolve to those terrorists.
-
curious?
[Read the article: And in other news, up is now down]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does George Bush still get high approval ratings with the military and military families? I have a strange feeling he still has alot of support there...talk about irony.
