Go, Hillary! Fight to the bitter end!

Well, I do remember how my wife's cousin's boyfriend used to write illiterate poems about John Wayne.

Edwards has descended to McCain's level: cheating on his sick wife.

I got the email with the video, and it certainly did include a request for cash.

Five kids! Has she heard about birth control?

Another creationist! The Republican war on science goes on and on.

Sounds like part of the Republican utopia.

That abstinence only stuff really worked all right. Sarah Palin, you are craniorectally embedded.

I read on Time's site that Palin tried to censor library books when she was mayor of Wasilla and threatened to fire the librarian for not going along with it. To a (retired) librarian, there are few greater sins. I dread an America where books have to be approved by a religious fanatic.

Palin's experience as a mayor includes trying to fire the town librarian when she wouldn't go along with censoring the library's collection. As a (retired) librarian, I find that totally unacceptable in a political candidate.

All part of the overall Republican war on science.

As they said on Red State Update, what if she gets the Holy Ghost during a national emergency? We can always hope that Palin gets the Holy Ghost during the VP debate.

Palin billed the state of Alaska for 312 days of per diem when she was actually at home. I think they call that corruption. She's just another hand-in-the-cookie-jar Republican.

Let's see ... Palin says that a woman should be forced to bear the child of a rapist ... and that makes her a feminist?

I say long live Katie. I've never enjoyed an anchor more.

As Putin rears his head ... where do they go?

Sarah needs to learn that a pronoun needs an antecedent.

This is what they call a beauty queen in Alaska? Oh well, I guess on the frontier you take what you can get in the way of women.

The Navy has been running nuclear vessels under all kinds of conditions since I was in grade school (a long, long time) and hasn't had a disaster. It should be at least as safe to operate nuclear plants when they're set in nice, safe concrete.

I kept noticing that she couldn't pronounce "nuclear." Also, she (for the second time in public) talked about the climate change cause human activity instead of the other way around.

McCain's ads remind me of Senator Proxmire's golden fleecing awards when he used to attack almost anything done in the way of science as an example of wasteful spending--no matter how useful the research actually was. It seems as though you can always appeal to anti-intellectualism whether you're liberal or conservative.

I have a son in the war; therefore, Obama is a bad person. Back when I taught rhetoric, we called that kind of reasoning a non sequitur.

Between now and 2012, Sarah, go to a good junior college and get a basic adult education.

Palin needs to enroll in a good junior college and get a basic adult education. Way down deep, she's really shallow.

This excerpt seems to be missing a mention of the medieval bestiaries (of which Lewis was surely aware), in which Christ is represented variously as a lion or a panther. The bestiary's lion has many of the characteristics of Aslan.

It's time Democrats stood up and said that Reagan was nothing but a befuddled old actor. He got lucky and didn't have a depression or a real war to deal with.

So when is he going to okay stem-cell research? I'd really like to avoid Alzheimer's.

My late mother-in-law used to tape Limbaugh's inane crap. Then God struck her VCR with lightning. I guess that settles that.

It doesn't only happen to actresses. Yul Brynner was only five years older than Tony Curtis, and he played Tony's father in Taras Bulba.

I remember when the Texas State Attorney General decreed that creationism was a religious belief and would not be taught in the textbooks. Of course, that was back when Democrats still counted for something in Texas.

I loved the whole show, including the ending. For one thing it explained why they all called Sam "Spaceman."

I wonder how condom ads are regulated. Does that mean they can';t be too graphic? Surely the Brits don't object to condoms.

I'm wondering how they came up with that nifty spaceship set on such short notice. Glad they didn't just leave us hanging.

Gay marriage Mecca: it has a ring to it.

Step One: abolish the BA in education. Education majors are astonishingly averse to learning anything; I know because I've tried to teach them. Make them get a degree in a real subject with a teaching certificate and maybe a master's in education.

Everyone should read Chris Mooney's The Republican War on Science to see how wrong this column is.

During the Bush administration, park rangers were not allowed to tell people how old the Grand Canyon is; the actual number was offensive to religious fundamentalists.

My 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid gets 45 mpg already, and it's a very safe car--as long as I don't get by a semi.

And I do a lot of my driving on a motorcycle, so screw the danger!
