Rush Limbaugh said it's all the liberals' fault. "In their hearts and minds and their crotches, they don't have any problem with what Foley did," Limbaugh said. "They've defended it over the years."

This from a Nazi scumbag who got caught coming back from the Dominican Republic with a prescription of Viagra that wasn't his. By the way, you useless piece of shit, what exactly were you doing in the Dominican Republic with boner pills? The same thing your boy, Mark Foley was hoping to do with a 16-year-old congressional page?

Driscoll's & Dietz' brand of fundamentalist, counter-culture extremism is no different from the Young Life movement of the 1970's which was instrumental in "leading me to Christ." Yeah, we were counter culture too -- distrusted adults, smoked cigarettes, went to R-rated movies, wore ripped jeans and Jesus shoes, had our own para-church structure, and thought our brand of "missional living" -- we called it incarnational misistry -- would turn the world upside down for Jesus. I became an agnostic after graduating from Fuller Seminary, largely because of the hypocrisy that I saw in my own life and within my circle of Christian aquaintenances. Most of my friends who continued in faith have for the most part become mainstream Republican fascists -- something that the Mars Hill group seems well on its way to becoming; either that, or the next Jonestown. One only hopes that poor Sarah Dietz and Judy Abolafya keep listening to that still small voice of reason that says "Eject!" and act on it before they throw away their lives.

His throw was way too tentative. He should have studied his opponent's flag-tossing technique. When Cowher throws the flag, everyone knows it, although his chin and spit usually reach the official before the flag does.

Apparently, J. Ridilsky has already eaten his or her young. Keillor's article almost changed my hardened heart toward conservatives; and then I read Ridilsky's grammatically-challenged letter. Frankly, removing health care from card carrying Republicans is too good for them. I suggest freezing their bank accounts and shipping their greedy, me-first-and-fuck-everyone-else, capitalistic asses off to Gitmo.

I have the perfect solution for Screech's dilemma. If he is indeed "unusually well endowed," perhaps he should consider putting that to work for him. I understand Heidi Fleiss is looking for a few good men.

Enron changed nothing. And nothing will change as long as the SEC is headed by people like Christopher Cox. The following passage from Robort Borosage's August 2, 2005 article from "The Nation" is particularly telling:

"Business Week described corporate lobbyists as "almost giddy" at the prospect of Cox at the head of the SEC because Cox has devoted his career to shielding corporate executives from accountability. As an attorney, Cox was sued for touting a flimflam operator to regulators in a scam that ended up bilking small investors of some $130 million. As a legislator, Cox spearheaded the effort to pass the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which essentially gave corporate executives a "license to lie" about their stocks' future prospects and sought to shield CEOs, their lawyers and accountants from investor lawsuits. Cox also championed leaving stock options off the corporate books, encouraging the very instrument that gave CEOs a personal stake in fixing the books so they could cash in. President Bush has made a man who contributed directly to the explosion of corporate fraud and abuse that cost investors trillions of dollars the chief cop on the corporate beat. With the heat turned down on corporate cons, small investors are likely to get burned."

It's time to run all of these thieving bastards off to prison where they belong, and appoint someone like Eliot Sptizer to head the SEC.

"Anyone who refuses to believe that young college men who gather in certain fraternities at elite universities can pose a danger to other students and the general community simply ignore reality."

I couldn't agree with you more; we have a frat boy from an elite university in the Oval Office, and look what he's done.

Sorry, Patricia, I don’t think this article constitutes nearly the level of hypocrisy as you claim. While I’m reasonably certain that abuse occurs in California’s State Prison System by union prison guards (and needs to be addressed), I doubt seriously it occurs at the levels documented at Abu Ghraib. In addition, the men in women in the State’s prison were incarcerated after a legal process involving a trial with a judge, jury, and legal representation. In short, they received due process, something which has been denied to detainees in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. Your letter is nothing more than a thinly-disguised screed against labor unions.

Would someone explain to "Super-Patriot" Willis that Clinton's lies didn't kill 2,000 Americans, over 100,000 Iraqis, and bankrupt an entire nation.

If Mr. Whittington does die, the Republicans will finally have their very own Chappaquiddick, because you know nothing will happen to Cheney.

It's time that Senator Byrd shuts his mouth and retires. His action today spoke much more loudly than any of his words.

Patient: "Doctor, it's hurts when I do this."

Doctor (hitting patient): "Well, then don't do that,"

Ted Stevens: "We spend millions to promote abstinence, while the public airwaves are increasingly promoting sex."

The Voice of Reason (bitch-slapping Stevens): "Well, then stop spending millions to promote abstinence."
