Local televised news is the single biggest cause of this.

It is consistently the worst programming on the air, regardless the market.

I'm no big fan of Obama, but would like to thank him for avoiding this.

At the end of the day this position is presumptuous, and promoted by poor advocates. I think some of you have been watching HBO"s In Treatment and assume that you can just order up a national catharsis.

He seems charming.....

oh so charming

Its alarming

how charming

he seems....

And so pretty

that he hardly can believe

hes real!

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 04:39 AM

.....and I'll bet he really isnt that creative anyway

Your to good for this guy. The byline for this article could have been "My Husbands a Bum" but you make excuses out of loyalty. Your losing your house, and the guy who works 3 weeks a year is getting angry and defensive? Accept the blame only for having spoiled this person, nothing more.

Original article: Mel Gibson's family values

Does anyone know what happened to Heather Havrilesky?

Its been about 3 weeks now. I really prefer to ignore Mel Gibson, Catholicism, and all the silliness.

I'm against torture, but I agree with Obama.

I'm no big fan of his legislative agenda, and yet I have no interest in doing this. Its TEDIOUS, EXPENSIVE, and will come to no good end. These sorts of inquiries are like Elephant sex, lots of noise, shit gets trampled on, and then NOTHING. In two years you either do, or dont get a little baby elephant.

We are SURPRISED only by our good fortune.

I know its tough to have to pull your content out of thin air every day, but America lives for, and loves this kind of shit. Especially the clueless girlfriend, who wont be anywhere around by trial time.

correction

"Few of the people who espouse" should read "most of the people who espouse. The critics are the only ones worth reading in Salon. They dont have to create their content out of thin air. Rebecca has a Disney thing going on today. Maybe she will have some FUCKING FACTS!

There is no such thing as a bi-sexual male.

A straight person who hustles for money is not a bi-sexual. Pete Wentz epitomises this, and you need not believe every little thing that people say about themselves. Most of the pubic info is publicist generated, and few of the people who espouse on such matters are in the dark.

You will become an alcoholic. You will meet a woman. She will write to Salon about it/you.

Please. Please. Please spare us. You have the power.

Someone has a very selective memory here.

This never really threatened to overwhelm Alec Baldwin's reputation. The book was an afterthough, and its doubtful enough people read it anyway. I dont recall that NBC ever even made a public statement concerning the matter. They did not lose any sponsors of note. He went on the view, mad a few vaguely apologistic public statements and went right back to work. His career barely even blinked. Great fodder for the feminist media, but nobody who mattered cared.

Monday, April 20, 2009 09:47 AM

I hope alcohlics are more interesting to date

than they are to read about. Nothing is more tedious or cliche. Bear your cross silently, maybe climb down off of it, bore and exasperate your family and friends if you must. I did not read this article, so I can honestly say that it lacked content and substance. I'm a great guy too, when I'm not like this.

Original article: Aubrey Reuben, 76

"I know she never committed adultery"

LOL! Of course not. Not your Maria. The saint.

Sunday, April 19, 2009 03:42 AM

@hereandnow

I agree on Heather. I would add StephanieZ and RebeccaT to the list of Salon's most readable. King did a nice job, but a sports column on a site like this is pretty much of a thankless job.

Saturday, April 18, 2009 03:46 AM

They did not know that the kid was pregnant.

I'll never believe it, no matter how many times they say it. Its a blunder of the "you will never work in this business again" variety. Its like a murder, it can never be admitted to.

Thursday, April 16, 2009 07:02 AM

America is that decrepit house.

We are all living in it, equally deluded, and having no fun at all.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 01:51 PM

Its cant be easy writing a sports column for this site.

They probably would like you to give equal coverage to the Women's NCAA basketball tournament.

Monday, April 13, 2009 12:45 PM

This woman is always a pill.

Is she the one who lost her house and fucked up her marriage?

Friday, April 10, 2009 04:28 PM
Original article: "Observe and Report"

If you ignore it, it will go away.

We might just as well be selling tickets here.

Original article: Rove: Biden is a "liar"

Rove is a dink!

But he is right about Biden.

Friday, April 10, 2009 11:57 AM

The byline for this article has such a self-congradulatory tone.

Unseemly to say the least. I'll pass.

Thursday, April 9, 2009 07:39 AM

Ralph Nader is right, and the comparisons to Bush are not much of a stretch.

He pretends to be a Native American. He pretends to be a scholar. No doubt a Mumia supporter, lately a professor. The Womans studies departments are loaded with this type.

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 06:26 AM

Oh you crazy Lesbians!

I'm sure I speaketh for all Americans when I say that-we just cant get enough of your wacky antics.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009 06:54 AM
Original article: Much ado about Levi

I really wish these people had wigged out during the election Campaign.

I'll bet this kid regrets sitting placidly by, allowing hinself to be used. What fun it could have been for everyone.

Original article: I Like to Watch

I believe everything Heather says, but still have no desire to watch this sort of turgid dreck!

I love Gabriel Byrne, but this sort of thing just exhausts me, and I refuse to get invested in it. I did enjoy the review, but I cant imagine this is instructive. It just seems like wallowing in so much misery.

Original article: The monster inside my son

This is neither self-pitying nor self-congradulatory............

Am I in Salon?

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 02:00 AM

Have your husband send a lovely little card saying.....

I PROMISE TO COME TO YOUR NEXT WEDDING DUDE! LOL

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 02:02 AM
Original article: A city awash in cards

This was fun. Not Salon's style.

Usually we would get a sanctimonius piece from the "poor suffering" girlfriend.

Friday, March 20, 2009 08:36 AM

He seems like a nice enough guy.

Politically he is in over his head, stoners generally are. I know because I am one.

Thursday, March 19, 2009 08:43 AM

The Brain Tumor Sketch is my first memory of them.

It was pretty obvious that they were nuts right from the get-go.

Sunday, March 15, 2009 03:24 AM
Original article: I Like to Watch

Heather touches on something very important here.

Any movie or TV show MUST be visually beautiful. It may be starkly beautiful, or lushly beautiful, but beauty counts. Otherwise leave it a book, or turn it into some kind of NPR piece. Deadwood was beautiful, BROWN but beautiful.

Thursday, March 12, 2009 06:00 AM

Borders Books will be next.

I can feel it.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 08:53 AM

I appreciate this sort of frontline reporting, with the reporter suffering, so that we dont have to.

It never ceases to amaze me how easily amused some people are, but this goes way beyond that. Its hard to imagine anyone watching this.

Thursday, March 5, 2009 07:07 AM

Start selling Amway.

Your welcome!

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 06:46 AM

Somewhere between "happily baking bread" and "reasserting my most hypermasculine instincts"

I'll try to find a niche for myself. Now. If I could just get you to shut up.........

Monday, February 23, 2009 09:57 AM

My guess is this involves, liberal politics in general.

Specifically issues concerning woman, and the environment. I wonder if your even dealing in facts, or just opinion masquerading as fact. Nobody ever resents a person with a needed, correct answer. I'll bet your brow-beating with highly dogmatic, political OPINIONS.

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 02:09 PM

Your point is?

Name any democrat of note who is on the record as opposing capital punishment.

Monday, February 16, 2009 04:05 AM

Its voyeurism masquerading as morality.

This article perpetuates, and now I'm guilty. My official position is "toke on dude" but that sort of thing just draws more fire.

Every moralist is a snoop to begin with, and I guess that is my point.
