O say

Thank you. Thank you. I laughed so hard, my stomach ached. This NSA wiretap thing is so disturbing; it is so good to be able to find humor in something so otherwise humorless. Very clever.

Media complicity

I am cancelling my subscription --- this time it will not be renewed. Your appalling lead article saying RFK's arguments are baseless is one of the worst I have read on your pages.

I was in Ohio on election day and saw first hand what the Republican party did at the polling place where I was assigned-- disabled and old people who didn't get their absentee ballots, the sign-carrying anti-gay African Americans paid by Dobson, provisional ballots used with abandon. My daughter had her vote thrown out because of the latter.

I fully agree with Robert Kennedy's summary. You who doubt the tenacity and reckless abuse of people's rights by the Republican party in general and this administration in particular are living in la-la land. You are probably frightened to think that this could be done right under our noses with so little outrage from the the citizenry and the media; but it is you, the media we have trusted, that has done more to undermine real democracy in this country by your failure to do your job. This Manjoo piece is just another example.

My subscription may not expire for a few months, but I will block you from my screen. Shame on you for complicity.
