And by HAVE to, I mean that he's dealing drugs out of your kids' bedroom. If you can find any way to avoid this, DON'T DO IT. It's going to take a long time for your kids to get over it, if they ever do. Don't do it. Move, find a day job, sell your stuff on craigslist, something. Just not this.

Did Obama force Clinton to use the a-word? Did he put some magic black-guy voodoo spell on her to make her say things in public that were guaranteed to cause a firestorm?

Your argument is embarrassing, and it's more "poor Hillary" whining. For a woman who is supposed to be tough enough to be president, who says if someone hits you you hit them back twice as hard, there is a lot of boo-hooing going on.

is how they haven't watched TV in decades but they know that everything on TV is absolute dreck that will rot your brain right out of your head. They are so convinced of their utter rightness, despite the fact that, by their own admission, they have no idea what they're talking about.

So very tired. The events of 1965-1975 were important. And they are Over. They've been over for a long time. It's time to move on, for Christ's sake. That's reason enough to vote for Obama, now that I think about it.

I don't see how someone with any intelligence and critical thinking skills whatsoever can truly believe in Mormonism. As far as I can tell, Romney truly believes in Mormonism. That makes him unfit for office not because he's a Mormon but because he's an idiot. Look what happens when we elect idiots to the highest office in the land. It ain't pretty.

I suppose it's possible to be a Mormon and not an idiot. Say, for example, you were raised in the religion and as an adult you started thinking about it and decided most of it was totally implausible, but you were comfortable in your life so you didn't want to go through the tumult of extricating yourself. You, in that case, may be lazy, but you're not an idiot. But if you thought about it and came to the conclusion that it was all true, or worse yet if you never thought about it at all, that makes you an idiot.

I don't believe that all religious people are delusional or idiotic. But anyone who truly, honestly buys the load of crap that Joseph Smith was selling, yeah. Delusional and/or idiotic.

either he's delusional or an idiot, but he's on the right side of the issues and I can't vote against him. I would prefer not to have a Mormon in the leadership of my party, but if we actually kicked him out just because he's a Mormon, there would be a huge political backlash. I don't think getting rid of Reid just because of his religion is worth the trouble it would cause.

But I actually think Reid has got to be more delusional or idiotic than Romney, if he actually believes in Mormonism, because he's a convert. It's one thing to believe in something because you were indoctrinated from birth, but it's another, more delusional/idiotic thing entirely to choose it as an adult.

It's his middle name. His full name is Willard Mitt Romney. I think "Mitt" is one of those rich-people, named-after-a-relative names.

I wonder when one of his opponents is going to start calling him Willard Mitt Romney. Kind of like George Felix Allen.

Oh, and on topic, anybody Willard Mitt Romney's age who actually believes in Mormonism is either delusional or an idiot.

We have so many slang words for "penis", I don't see what's wrong with having another word for "vagina".

I haven't read the article yet, but someone needs to fix the accompanying photo, stat. It's hideous.

If what he says is true, that he and the daughter are deeply in love and that he makes her very happy, and if the father isn't literally on his death bed but only, shall we say, nearing the end of the road, then why shouldn't the father throw this guy a bone? Doesn't sound like it would take much. A morsel. A soupcon of approval.

Maybe because he's not her dad. We have no idea how long step-dad and mom have been married, do we? We don't know if he raised her like she was his own, or if she's just his wife's kid.

My mom has a step-brother she's never met, and her dad and step-mom have been married for more than 25 years. Step relationships are not always the same as biological relationships.

Because the LW sounds 25, max. But according to one of his other letters he's over 50.

Sanjaya is as American as any of the other contestants.

Seriously, find another job. There's more than Initech out there.

Also, I like the new format.

On "Good Morning America" today, Miss USA Tara Conner cops to her drug use, telling Matt Lauer, "I have done cocaine, yeah."

Lauer's on Today.

Anybody who has worked fast food, especially at a national chain, knows that they are *very* careful about labor costs, since that is their biggest expense. McD's has software that tracks labor vs. sales to the quarter-hour. They know exactly how many people they will need for each shift, when to send people on breaks, etc. They don't have extra people hanging around because the manager is a nice guy.

And that's what was happening before, if this letter is to be believed. The manager was scheduling everybody for more hours than he needed them for, but now he's had to cut back. Except that would never happen in the real world, because business people don't just give money away to their employees. I'm not surprised that Cary didn't notice.
