Put me down as someone who doesn't want the education department run from a correspondence school, the justice department to administered by a law school from the bottom tier, the pentagon to be run by military contractors or a President that doesn't understand the difference between noblesse oblige and a bank vault left ajar.

I don't think the advocation of repealing the Second Amendment is a very wise use of article space. Boring navel-gazing. A well regulated militia is something that is achievable.

Virginia Tech holds a press conference describing how many grief counselors they have on hand and all three cable news outlets devote hours to coverage. The only thing the massacre awakened was the media's narcissistic necrophilia, this month's Natalie Holloway.

I'm getting a little sick and tired of this nonsense. Someone somewhere is crying about a parent who gave their kid a dirty look for belching at the dinner table.

I have a back-arching response anytime I hear the Southern twang. It is even worse than the twitch my remote finger feels whenever Bush comes on the tube. Maybe it is unfair but I can't help it. I suspect that watching Cspan for a certain number of years will give you this prejudice. Between listening to the phone-in callers and the Southern Congressional delegation... you can't help but come away with a feeling that the South is populated with evil Ma and Pa Kettles, espousing inequality and mental infertility. Membots all.

...she could have pulled it off. It was like watching the old lady from the Titanic french kiss Leonardo DiCaprio.

Somebody loved him. I didn't. I'm not more pious than the Pope so I can say we are better off without him. James Dobson is how old?

A crony doesn't root out corruption. He is corruption.

The whole thing should have been edited down to:

LETTER: My sister is having an illicit affair. I'm sworn to secrecy, but I think maybe I should tell the rest of my family.

RESPONSE: M.Y.O.B.

The rest of the familial dynamics nonsense I blame on Dr. Drew. Start channeling Ann Landers instead.

I think we've come a long way from Bush taking the oath of office for the second time in 2005 considering how many people bought the lemon. The ride is sloppy, it's starting to rust-out, it gets terrible gas mileage and the doors swing open randomly. People admit it. But it would take some kind of circus spectacle to impeach him.

Lotharios don't make clumsy advances. They make successful ones.

they stopped tallying car bombings and bodies found on the outskirts around the time this surge started. You can't trust any supporter of this mess to tell the truth.

Is this a new type of journalism? I've noticed that any question about the tenets of Mormon faith is deflected by the Mormon Church as an attack. It also seems that every 'reporter' who brings up Magic Underwear or Jesus is Satan's brother in their writing does little to clarify or dispel anything. Tiresome.

... is remarkably similar to how CNN sounds to my ears. The entire channel is filled with what appear to be declarative nouns and no facts.

... shouldn't be kept next to your bed.

He may not be a Manchurian Candidate but I'll never forget the Family Guy episode that has Peter trying out The John McCain Experience, therein he climbs into a bamboo cage, is poked with a sharp stick and ends with him crying that he wants to be President.

Feminism is the force that allowed women to become fully realized human beings. Either you climb back on that pedestal and pop a Valium or you stay down here with the rest of us and do something stupid once and while.

What, like, two Latinos? That would be 'some.' Nobody knows who that woman is and no one cares. Move along and quit with the inside baseball.

either "Let a thousand superstitions grow." or "Liberals destroy Conservatives."

I believe it is a toss-up as to what would happen if the ideas expounded upon here were to become widely adopted in today's educational environment.

I am certain that liberals are more comfortable with this topic than are conservatives.

doesn't sound like a good idea. I'd put into all future contracts that there will be no advocation of the legality of torture, or rape, or the crushing of children's testicles. We can call it the Yoo clause.

to read the sublime writings of Stephanie Zacharek. They always give me butterflies, adrenaline and a whAAp across the back of the head. Thank you.

I hadn't appreciated how strangely complex having these particular three candidates is until I read the article, not completely. America doesn't like complex and I feel dispirited now, thank you.

she didn't mean anything nefarious by it. As far as you know. Yes, that peculiar little phrase so little used in normal conversation.

MYOB is making a comeback. Thank God. What is causing this? A litany of people snooping into other people private communications. Dante probably had a circle of hell prepared for these clods but as one snoop after another finds out, they are creating their own. Deservedly.

At least this one didn't try to claim 'accidental' reading.

Whatever happened to this? Explain why the Saudi Royal family isn't putting a sizable chunk into the futures market. Oil Company CEOs?

Texas this, Texas that. S&L Bribery. Enron. Oil Presidency War. Texas this. Texas that. Hello Ohio. Pennsylvania. Michigan. and Florida. Texas this, Texas that.

I'll always remember how awful he was at concealing the lies.
