  • Sticking to Netflix

    [Read the article: Why Blockbuster is gaining on Netflix]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    My experience says that Netflix has a better and larger collection of art-house and inde films. And also, no doubt that Netflix has a superior web site than Blockbuster. Wish Netflix had added more movies on its instant watch list. However, I am happily sticking to Netflix.

  • A royal piece of baloney

    [Read the article: Biracial, but not like me]

    This is a royal piece of baloney. How do you judge a person’s integrity and strength by reading his autobiographical fable? It sounds so hollow, so shallow. All his (Obama) talks on changes, hopes and dreams, to me nothing but pot-headed illusions. He is asking us to climb over the mountain with him to see the promise land, which does not exist. I still don’t understand the entire buzz surrounding Obama. What quality does he possess that Hillary does not? Please don’t give the crap that he has wisdom and brilliance. Please don’t forget, in our system the president as the executive branch has to rely on other two branches. In his campaign speeches Obama is offering a lot that he will not be a position to deliver. His long hands will be tied up. The same might be true for Hillary too. However, Hillary has a proven track record of public service for progressive and liberal causes. There is nothing much in Obama’s resume, except opposing the Iraq war. Is Hillary flawed? Yes she is. She never wins me over her standing by an illegal and immoral war. Well, we never get everything we wish for. I will get over it. I really feel pity for this lady. If she does not show her emotion in public, she is a mean and calculative bitch. When her eyes float on tears, she is week or not strong enough to be an iron lady. What’s a dilemma, it cuts both ways. Also Obama is young and has enough time fill up his resume. For Hillary, I believe this THE chance.

    As a straight liberal guy I have been awaiting the historical moment, when a worthy woman president will lead the free world. We came close. But it looks like we are going to squander that opportunity as persons like you and Oprah are shamelessly rooting for a political novice. And please stop portraying Obama as a black candidate. Why not we call him a white man? Is it more prudent for Obama to exploit his black identity over that of white to score extra points? You all, the members of the other camp, please think twice before casting your votes today. Please don’t give history the chance to remember you as slayers of a noble cause. Please give world the moment to look at women beyond their boobs and vaginas. You are not voting for Pamela Anderson or late Ana Nicole Smith who is nothing but a woman. You are voting for a qualified person who happens to be a woman. People always ask me, is it manly enough to accept a woman as a commander in chief? My answer; I am not ready to take orders from a man. It pokes my ego. Why is he better than me? On the other hand, if it is a lady, smart and intelligent like Hillary, I will at least listen to her. I am ready to carry the flag and die with honor in the battlefield for the queen.

  • Sorry Kate!

    Sorry Kate. Your answer does not explain your support for Obama. It is true being a woman you don’t have the biological obligation to support a woman. Does this logic hold good for Hillary? What does she lack in her commitment towards women cause that you celebrate? Please give us some specifics. It looks like you are highly impressed and thrilled with Obama’s vision for future of America and the world. Anyone could stand on a podium and articulate (no doubt he is a good orator. He could be a great preacher) his or her hopes and dreams. It proves nothing. It has to be backed up by past actions and accomplishment. There is nothing such accomplishment in Obama’s trail. This man has been created, nurtured and pampered by American media. Just to remind you, the same American media was the propaganda channel for an unjustified war, and was instrumental to reinstall George Bush in power for the second time. They are playing the same game to deceive us again for the purpose of higher rating. You are all happily taking part in it. Bravo! I can not call you a traitor but it really baffles me that why a person like you ganging up against Hillary. You are right there may be a qualified woman candidate running for the presidency in near future, who knows. Nevertheless, that does not justify squandering this opportunity. It has been already a long wait. Don’t you think so?

  • Salon should come out from the closet

    [Read the article: Scott Bateman: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    She said “I will bring more than my 35 of years of experience TO THE WHITE HOUSE”. She never mentioned 35 years of her experience IN THE WHITE HOUSE. You jack ass! Salon should come out from the closet and endorse Obama, the big phony.

    Listen you bonehead, al least JFK served in the US Navy and fought in the World War II before choosing his career in politics.What has your candidate done? I know what he is doing now; screwing the minds of idiots like you with his puffy words. So shut up. Also watch the video carefully before passing any comment.
