maverick insider
[Read the article: John McCain goes off the rails]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...once he returns to the more familiar role of maverick outsider."
That's just a really great phrase and very telling. The idea that maverick outsider can be a familiar role really shows us a lot about the cartoonish personae our candidates always end up taking on.

Is it too late to change your mind?
[Read the article: Goodbye to Audiofile]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Audiofile and war room are the two things that keep me checking out Salon every day. They aren't the only things I like but Audiofile is absolutely one of Salon's primary draws for me. Unlike most of Salon's features, Audiofile is unique on the internet. Obviously I don't know what you'll be replacing it with, but it's hard to believe that its loss can be made up for with whatever 'beef' you're planning to bring to the culture pages. Please keep Audiofile!

delicate delicate salon readers
[Read the article: The full, final "Harry Potter" -- leaked online!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let's calm the hysteria a little bit people. That the book was leaked is news. Almost anything that happens with the book is news. That the book was leaked and turned into .pdfs and put on bittorrent where it can't be removed is technology news.
I am one of the people trying to make sure that not to read any spoilers before friday midnight, but this article in no way made that more difficult for me. I'd still have to go search for, download and then read the book for anything to be ruined! There is no threat here.

a warning
[Read the article: The full, final "Harry Potter" -- leaked online!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I just read the anonymous letter with the subject chilllll. That writer makes a good point. Knowing that the book is out there is a warning. Now we know that if we hear someone claiming to know what happens in the book they may be telling the truth, whereas before we found out about this leak it was almost certainly just idle speculation.

re: ...and a liar to boot
[Read the article: The full, final "Harry Potter" -- leaked online!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Keith,
Get a grip, man. Those sentences told us nothing without their context AND had a warning before them. 'Unfamiliar with basic morality' for reporting on the news? That's exactly the line Bush uses to say that journalists are helping the terrorists.

Vaporland
[Read the article: The full, final "Harry Potter" -- leaked online!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If it's fake, why did you post that Salon was in violation of copyright law? Or is it fake but still copyrighted? Or, perhaps, are you just a pain in everybody's tuchus?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I've just got to say that this is absolutely the only appropriate way to cover this garbage. Hats off to you.
