Who hired this moron and why does he have any following at all?

When reading the sports page in the Dallas Morning News this week, I see that they use "there" in a quote when they should have used "their." According to Ms. Miller's logic, this if acceptable?

No thanks. I'll pass on living in that kind of world.

Go see a psychiatrist. Even if it's at your own expense. It will be worth it.

Before you decide to do anything, seek psychiatric help. It is entirely possible that you are suffering from major depression, dysthymia, adjustment disorder, or some combination thereof. There are medications that can significantly help with those conditions.

As for Cary's suggestion about cognitive therapy, it can be a useful adjunct to meds, and helps some people in the absence of meds. But I'd go see a psychiatrist first.

. . . or you just couldn't think of anything intelligent to write about? Isn't there enough celbre-trash "journalism" in the world without it invading Salon.com? If not, just take the day off.

I supported Obama over Hillary after John Edward got out of the race because I thought that he was more electable. I've now decided that you could carve a man with more spine out of an overripe banana.

Why is this news now? Edwards isn't running for political office and hold no public position. It seems to me that the media -- Salon.com included -- puts itself in the gutter with the National Inquirer when it publishes crap like this (true or not). It's bad enough that the sphere of what is private is so small these days for public officials. It is always amazing to me that anyone would run for public office. But once someone has gone back to private life and no longer holds or seeks public office, his private life should be just that -- private.

You didn't want the guy. You sister may. None of YOUR business. Wish them happiness and go on about YOUR business.

Sixteen Candles wasn't Molly Ringwald's "first big movie role." Not even close. That would have been Paul Mazursky's Tempest. Sixteen Candles was a fine movie and Ringwald was good enough in it. But Tempest was a much better movie and Ringwald did much better work there. Sixteen Candles, nor Ringwald's performance in it, couldn't hold a candle -- so to speak -- to Sixteen Candles.

I'm a one percenter, and I'm hear to say I can afford it and am quite willing to pay it if everyone who makes the same money that I do does the same. Although I must say that it really sometimes comical to watch the way that Republicans and conservative Democrats whip up people who make far less than I do to object to taxing me. The stupidity of the people who vote Republican never ceases to amaze me. Ninety-five percent of them vote against their economic interests every time.

I wonder if you might comment in a future column -- or even in these comments -- on the idea that a consumer demand model economy isn't going to come back any time soon. Some economists posit that we are going to move from an economy that had a fairly long term negative savings rate to one that has a historically more normal savings rate of 2 - 3 %, and that this is not inconsistent with long term prosperity. Economic prosperity will be somewhat slower to return, but will not be measured so much by consumer spending. etc.

Why no substance on what was said or done in the meeting with the Blue Dogs? This is as substance free a story as one can get. Put some meat on the bone, for Christ's sake!

Well, at least the rest of the country is discovering out Governor. If nothing else, he's always good for a laugh, even it it's sometimes gallows humor. You'll soon know what most of us know: If stupidity was music, Rick Perry would be a one-man band.

To paraphrase what the great Jim Hightower once said about Bill Clements: When ignorance goes to $150/barrel, I want drilling rights on Perry's head.

Just go to law school. First, it's lots of fun and the easiest school experience I ever had. And I went to a top ten law school. Second, try practicing for a year or two and see if you like it. If you don't, make some money and pay off some of your debt and then go do something else. You'd be surprised how beneficial a law degree can be in other careers. Plus, there are probably more ways of practicing law than you've ever imagined. Surely one of them will fit your style. And if not, then do something else, but don't blow your chance to get a good degree and make a good living.

Shit happens. The heart wants what the heart wants. It's a shame that people get hurt, but they do. We have no idea what their marriage was like, so who are we to judge who, if anyone, is to blame.

Ditch the wife, and do so a bit more gently, but firmly than you are now, Governor. Go get the gal in Argentina if she'll have you and bring her back to S.C. Have her shack up with you at the Governor's Mansion or marry her, your and her choice. (Or hell, run S.C. by e-mail from Argentina, for all I care.) If the public doesn't like it, tell them to go to hell and join the 21st Century. Just grow a pair, for Christ's sake. You might find you like it.
