So little tommy and little jane can have two mommies, but only if both of them are married to one man? Give me a break. I'll support polygamy after same-sex marriage is legalized...if it ever does. People in polyamourous relationships who want their relationships legal in the eyes of the government can wait in line like the rest of us.

Thank you Salon for a compelling interview and a good read about Joe Scarborough. I have to admit that he surprised me when reading his responses to the questions given to him. Although I am a proud lefty and my opinions probably differ very much compared to Mr. Scarborough's opinions, I have to admit I like that he remained proud to his political beliefs and, at the same time, realizes the changes of today's political spectrum compared to a few years ago. It is refreshing to see someone acknowledge the rules of "absolutes" in this administration and within the Republican party. I am tired of people, in both parties and everywhere esle, being called "traitors" because they question the president and his adminstration. This is supposed to be a democracy not a monarchy. George W. Bush is not a king. The Republican Party is not the royal court of the United States. Clearly, at the present time, the country is paying in the negative (in both international relations,the economy, the iraq war, the Isreali/Hezbollah conflict, and the immigration issue to name a few) because the questions we ask now were not asked those few years ago.

Good work Mr. Scarborough. You have turned a Scarborough Country hater into a compelled viewer who wonders what you will say next. Congrats.

Unless that "career man" is upper class, in the upper tax bracket, and with a legitmate amount of income to dispose of, the idea of not marrying a "career woman" is not going to appeal the majority of people who need a two income household to financially survive month to month. These old fashioned ideas of women retreating back to the home is not just culturally outdated but economically outdated as well. Not every "career man" can support a wife and 2.5 children all on his own paycheck. The way the economy is going, especially with the unpredictable rise and fall of gas prices, a working woman can be a valuable source of income to ensure that her family survives.

I'm noticing a lot of no name givens and the majority of them are pretty much in support of that article Forbes published. For the author who wrote "deering" and also wrote this "Most men marry a much more successful man." And also told pretty much all of us to take off our "rose colored glasses" as he screwed his surgeon friend "with benefits". Please do us a favor and take off your rose colored glasses. Most men can't marry men since same sex marriage is still, unfortunately, banned in the majority of states with the exception of one state (Mass.) Second, it is clear you are misogynist in your own ideals for a relationship. Your relationship with that surgeon "girlfriend" is hardly the best example of a heterosexual relationship at all. So there is no need to preach to other women about what is best in control and issues between both genders. You, sir, are hardly the man to go to for relationship advice, not to mention that relationship is hardly one to brag about. Third, don't ever reproduce. Reality is harsh enough as it is with what is happening in the world and we don't need your spawn polluting the cultural landscape with your jargon.

"Halley said the president told her that "there was no point in us having a philosophical discussion about the pros and cons of the war."

It seems like the president has kept the same position ever since his administration and him started the war. In the president's world, there is no point in talking to anyone whose position on war is different from his. The "Decider" has decided and judged everyone esle not on his team.

Thank you Salon for a well written and commemorative article on Steve Irwin. I couldn't help but feel sad the day I heard he passed on. My younger brother couldn't help but be in disbelief and sorrow either when I told him. We're older now, but we remember when we first saw the Crocodile Hunter on Animal Planet so long ago. I was 16 and he was 14 (we are both in our twenties now). It definitely shows the impact Steve Irwin makes for two teenagers to remember the first time they saw him on television.

I believe along with the writer that Steve Irwin was very strong and firm in protecting animals, especially protecting those who aren't so cute and cuddly. Not every animal in the world is going to be soft and fuzzy like rabbits and they need protection just as much as the rest of the endangered species. I think that's why he drew so much attention when he first appeared on television. No one dared touched a crocodile or snake like he did. No one dared to take the risks associated with such dangerous animals. But he did with a combination of joy and understanding for the animal, no matter how scaley or ugly it was. That kind of persona and charm is rare to find. His excitement was truly refreshing and fun when we saw it.

The world will miss you very much Steve. Not just the people who held you dear, but the animals you've saved and preserved from outside harm. If they knew, I'm sure the crocodiles would shed tears of their own.
