Carter's not the guy to fix it.
[Read the article: John McCain's bid for American Jewish votes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Carter's not a dishonest broker by meeting with hamas; meeting with hamas is a logical thing to do. Carter's a dishonest broker because he has never come clean about the personal financial relationship between himself and the Saudi royals via the BCCI, including while he was president, even though he lambastes as biased every US politician who has ever shaken the hand of somebody from AIPAC or the Israeli government. For evidence that this is more than just suspicion, when has the Carter Center (who has received a lot of Saudi money) ever found a single thing to criticize about civil rights in Saudi Arabia? Either they're pretty progressive down there, or the Center needs a name change. I say that with all the passion of somebody who found out that his idol has feet of clay after all.

what should obama do about Wright? that's easy
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]he should put out his policy platform regarding things like the iraq war, the Afghanistan/al qaeda war, the economy, global warming, and healthcare and tell us why his ideas are better than clinton's or mccain's. what else would be logical? possibly he should make it clear that wright will not be appointed vice president.

always wondered about that logic
[Read the article: The education of an oil reporter]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]shale oil, tar sands, etc. are too expensive to get, but when the price of oil goes up there'll be enough economic incentive that there'll be plenty of oil; yeah, but doesn't that mean plenty of oil at $100+ a barrel?

fun for whom?
[Read the article: Remember when it was fun to fly?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]a couple of months ago i had the luck to see the security personnel literally terrorize a woman who had the bad judgement to take a picture of her kids inside the no-photos! security zone. after making sure the photos were deleted (thank god for digital cameras) and after she was safely out of sight, they all had a good laugh about it. i guess the fact that all us astounded passengers were still there watching them wasn't important.
i don't believe this is how el al does it.

yep
[Read the article: Brian Williams nominates Peggy Noonan for a Pulitzer Prize]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]yep, when i think of america and the little people who live here, i get all nostalgic for henry ford and his antisemitic hitler-loving legacy. but most of all, the bloody beatings his goons would give workers who tried to unionize. i know peggy shares this with me.

stupid stereotypes
[Read the article: He's just not that into (sex with) you]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]do you think our male ancestors would have sex 24/7, since women were not empowered to decline?
it's all just pounded into your head; males pursue, women play coy. if you don't follow that rule, you're obviously gay.
