Thanks. I think the whole thing is interesting as hell.

Glen,

Any thoughts on how Cato has reacted to the DHS report?

Americans in all walks of life use connections to get ahead. Cops in Boston, farmers in Iowa, preachers, miners, teachers, UAW members, etc, etc...

Families that have some, any kind of power or influence, pass it on to various family members, and have done so for all time. The example cited in Illinois is pretty fucked, but I'm sure some shlepp car salesman in Bozemen made manager earlier than he should have because his uncle's name adorned the sign above the shop.

Mostly, people are judged by what they do in the position they're in. Earned or otherwise.

She ought to be banned for life. You're a great writer and it was a pleasure reading you these years.

I bet the civilians murdered in Iraq by Condi were equally touched. Oh wait. They're dead, having been murdered by Condi & Co.

Fair enough. And thanks for the response.

Given your following and your skill, it seems you could do quite well for yourself by yourself--like Hedges over at truthdig.com, or even Malkin. Over the past year Salon has put up ads for the Airforce, British Petroleum and the telecoms. While your articles are incredibly informative and important, that fact is pretty hard to swallow.

Mr. Greenwald - Verizon and ATT are plastered all over Salon.com. Can't Salon.com find companies with cleaner hands to hit up for ad revenue? What does it say to your readers when you run banner ads for these companies? I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Now was that so hard? Honesty? Doesn't it feel better to freely admit how enamored you are with Palin, one of the worlds dimmest political minds?

And as you like Obama, I like you. Cagey liars are like CEO's down at the country club. They might be thieves, but at least they're just trying to get rich. And you're just trying to win, any way you can think of.

But don't be so quick to set your shallow morals aside. Persevere. Fight on. You've only got one more month to save the world (read: America). Unless of course Jesus returns. In that case, prepare to burn in hell.

I've been checking out your letters and I like your schtick. It's cute. Typically you begin by agreeing, like a liberal would, then exaggerating that agreement, including of course, the beyond the pale arguments that no liberal in their right mind would make--you know, Ayers wasn't so bad, Obama picked nothing up from Wright, Israeli land being given away (to terrorist/Hezbola/Hammas - SCARRY!) is, after all, the key to peace in the middle east (wink wink, nudge nudge...)

But see, you aren't quite smart enough to be seen through. Like the Palin wink and the McCain shrug, you're brand of warfare, like your trite ideology, is see through. You'd do better to step up like a woman or man and state your ideas and make your arguments. The negative, Rovian trickery you employ, however appealing it is to me personally, is antithetical to the ends you intend to achieve.

If the conservative ideology cannot win the day, why bother making the argument. Until it can, head out to the shed and work on your craft. The rust is embarrassingly obvious to us all. And it's uncouth.

Paglia is tied to the intellectual bed post; bent over, gagged and smiling. Her lust blinds her long lost wit. This trite example of gutter thought reminds us all how shallow she was, how irrelevant she is, how laughable she always will be. And fuck Salon.com for pimping this fascist whore on us all.

Mr. Hedges is the preeminent voice of the anti-war movement. His writings on the wars of our time will be the record that historians teach from generations from now. His speech at Rockford College in 2003 was one of the few acts of heroism and strength and truth spoken to power as the world went insane.

Having said that, Salon.com recently ran thousands of advertisements for the air force at the exact time when the air force was carpet bombing Baghdad. In doing so, Salon made a mockery of independent journalism and spit in the face of anti-war progressives.

When asked about this, Glen Greenwald had the guts to respond to this sickening union by saying, "if the Pentagon wants to pay for anti-war commentary, more power to them." It'd be interesting to know how Mr. Hedges feels about the vile compromise Salon.com has made in this dark hour.

Please note that Mr. McCain has been recorded calling women cunts.

When you, or any female undergraduate/professor, can't get a legal abortion because of the judges McCain has promised to appoint, please remember the incredibly obtuse, small minded argument you make tonight. Perhaps then you'll know what real sexism looks like.

Send your emails to this guy: chris@salon.com. He's the CEO. Joan's head will roll eventually. We have the power to decide how soon.

Again, if you want Walsh out, write the CEO at chris@salon.com. It's long overdue.
