I mean really, even for broadsheet this is vapid pointless stuff.

God, you have this big bully pulpit and there are thousands of interesting relevant issues you could be covering and this is the best you can come up with?

You'd almost think BS was the domain of middle class middle aged privileged white woman who's sole use for femminism is to protect themselves from self examination or challenging their preconceptions.

Some hipster for the salon set?

A friend of mine had to evacuate her family and pets today. Laughing at them and mocking their misfortune is the mark of a true scumbag. I suggest you try that when the inevitable deaths occur. The corpses of people who have been burned alive are not pretty.

I imagine that kick in your step is extra fucking special now. All the LA haters can have a good laugh now.

Some women enjoy and even request anal sex.

If Merriman had failed to restrain her, hence enabling Tequila to drunk drive and kill Tracy's children. That would be the BS Feminist way.

Perhaps whites, being less prone to support a President because he is black are judging him on his performance since being elected and are less than happy with it.

As in Russia, where communism ended up bearing very little resemblance to Marxism, so Capitalism in the USA is in name only.

The USA is not and never has been the "Worlds Policeman", in common with most countries it has acted solely in its own self interest, often to the radical detriment of other countries. Only the fact that is is so large and powerful allows it to pretend to some form of altruism.

Message to Americans - the majority of the world *does* not want you to be the "Worlds Policeman", the majority of the world just wishes you'd stop the f**k interfering where you're not wanted, which is most places.

This pernicious myth of American exceptionalism infects even the most liberal of Americans.

Yup, not an American (Kiwi/Ozzie). And interesting point you raise re the policeman image. Maybe it depends what side of the left/right divide you're on? I'm pretty sure one of the perpetual victim whines of the neocons is how no one appreciates the sacrifices they make being the world policeman.

p.s I do actually like Americans and respect the ideals the USA used to embody. Its pretty hard though these days.

Ah - yes it is, absolutely. Its a lie promulgated by MEMWRI, which just happens to be staffed by ex mossad members.

The mistranslation has been confirmed by many independent Persian translators.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Salon has become a pathetic parody of its former self, a symbol of what's rotten in the Dems these days.

And Paul, how sad that you don't know the love of a dog. You don't know what you're missing.

Lucky escape for the dog though, so self righteous and precious the dog barks hurt his iddle widdle ears and he has to wear ear plugs - the horror!

Actually that's rubbish - men are by far the majority victims of violence.

Its used to be that yearly examinations were recommended for men from early ages. Then results showed early regular examination didn't make any difference to survival rates and often resulted in unnecessary and often damaging surgery.

So exams are scheduled later in life and less often - no fuss. Of course there's no blokesheet invested in finding a problem with it.

Must be a very USA thing.

Especially if it turns out his wife did beat him with a golf club. The contortions BS will go through to blame it on him will as always be hilarious, if somewhat depressing.
