I get the transgender thing. I'd like to see everyone treated equally in the workplace. I get the part about suing for damages.

What I don't get is why someone would sue to get a job working in a place where they aren't wanted.

Given that these people really don't want her working there, why would she sue to get the job? To make them miserable? To make herself miserable? Just to be vindictive?

That's the part that I don't get.

The Olympic committee needs to ask themselves a simple question:

Does this event involve something that can be measured, weighed, counted, or timed?

If the answer is "No", then it means that you don't have a sport. You have entertainment.

The long jump is a sport. You can measure it.

Weight lifting is a sport. You can weigh it.

The 100 meter freestyle is a sport. You can time it.

Team handball is a sport. You can count it.

Nothing in gymnastics, diving or synchronized swimming meets those criteria.

Call them exhibitions, if you like, but they are no more "sport" than are the opening ceremonies.

Presidents can resign? Really?

Someone should tell George...

Twenty five? The letter reads as though it was written by someone who is fifteen.

Marriage requires responsibility. If she can't muster some, then she owes her spouse an apology for wasting four years of his time.

Best advice? Grow up.

I say despite a past life as a figure-skater-wannabe:

If you can't weigh it, count it, or measure it, it shouldn't be an Olympic sport.

Pretty simple criteria, I think.

Why is it widely accepted that politicians are to hold themselves to a higher degree than the rest of us?

Who is doing so? I expect no less from Edwards than I'd expect from anyone else. If you're running for public office, especially that of the presidency, I expect you to be honest.

Pretending to be happily married when you're running around on your spouse is not honest.

I think I'm not alone in those beliefs. Yes, we have a long track record of adultery in national politics, but that doesn't mean that I, or anyone else, must expect it, tolerate it, or accept it.

And cheating on your wife when she has cancer just reeks of Newt Gingrich, and we can all do without that.

While visiting an expensive tourist destination about a year ago, I encountered Gisele Bündchen at a restaurant when the waiter pointed out that she was sitting across the room.

She was astonishingly plain in appearance; so much so that I wouldn't have given her a second glance had I passed her on the street.

You can do a lot with lighting and mirrors.

It's not secret that the mainstream media is controlled by Republican-leaning interests. So why is Obama getting all of the press?

Because McCain, whom the press has always loved, is out there every single day either saying something stupid, or doing something stupid.

If the media wasn't covering all of the Obama non-news, they'd be forced to remind us that McCain has once again demonstrated that he doesn't know Sunni from Shia, that he's once again imagined that Iraq and Pakistan share a border, or that he's once again reminded us that he doesn't know squat about economics.

Sometimes, less is more. The media is doing their part to help McCain by ignoring him.

All Obama has to do is declare the parties in question to be "enemy combatants." Then he can have them imprisoned indefinitely without charges. At least that's what George W. Bush says.

No one wants to go through a long trial, which the Republicans would call a "witch hunt." So let's just haul them away, never to be heard from again.

Then we can go back to abiding by the Constitution.

John McCain actually has a campaign strategy?

Who knew?

For all that dough he's spent....

Obama sure doesn't have much traction.

It's tough to work against the Republican Slime Machine, which really hasn't even gotten started yet.

Despite that, Obama is having to overcome such notions as these:

• He wants to change the national anthem to "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."

• He's a Muslim.

• He won't recite the Pledge of Allegiance

• He has relatives that are crack addicts and gay porn actors.

• His name isn't really Barack Obama; he just changed it to that to make his name sound "more Muslim."

And so on.

McCain doesn't know Shia from Sunni and thinks that Iraq and Pakistan share a border and yet the press won't write a single negative word about him. He applied for a license to marry his trophy wife while he was still married to, and living with, his first wife. Ever see anything about that on CNN?

Obama has the tougher path. Traction will be difficult.

Harold Baines finished his career with 2866 hits. That should be good for the Hall of Fame.

Here's a complete list of all of the players with more than 2866 hits who are not in the Hall of Fame:

It's not much of a list.

...as I thought the last Batman movie was a bore.

I'm tired of really talented directors making brilliant movies only to end up pigeonholed into making one dumb comic book movie after another.

Nolan - The Prestige, Memento, Insomnia

Sam Raimi - A Simple Plan

The Wachowski Brothers - Bound

And so on. It's hard to believe that "Speed Racer" came from the same people who made "Bound."

Enough with the franchises already.

..that when the next president is sworn into office, his first act will be to declare Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice to be "enemy combatants."

At which point, none of them are ever seen or heard from again.

The new president's next act would be to declare that the Constitution is again the basis for U.S. law.

I have a dream.
