King Georgie Boy
[Read the article: Spying on Americans: Did Bush break the law?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why? Why ask why? You and everyone else who has a brain knows why.
Because he COULD, that's why. Let's not let him get away with it.

And yet more thanks from a grateful reader
[Read the article: Pride and pathetic]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]About that film: I, for one, have not seen it because I (rightly it seems) suspected what a mess it would be. I thank Gina Fattore for saving me the time and money I might have expended. And for those of you who were so "put out" by her honest and beautifully written review, hey YOU lighten up! The woman is a critic and she critiqued a film, for God's sake.
And if, as someone suggested, no film could capture Austen then perhaps no film should attempt to capture Austen.
Just make an entirely different film and call it something else, perhaps "More Balderdash for Those Who Eat That Stuff Up." It could star Kate & Tom -- now wouldn't that be great?
And another thing: I'm not single & I love cats!

Grass helps brains when people abuse ETOH
[Read the article: Straight, no chaser]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The question, as I recall it, was that after stating the above and also that pot is illegal in this country, the question was posed: Isn't this ironic?
Actually no, considering the intelligence (excuse me, the LACK of intelligence) of those who make the laws.
Of course marijuana should be legal! It's a WEED, for God's sake. Get over it!

Charm 1, Alito 0
[Read the article: Charm 1, Alito 0]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was thinking someone ought to hold a mirror up to his face to determine whether or not he was breathing.
A "Charmer" for certain.

The absent-minded terrorists...
[Read the article: Alberto Gonzales and the forgetful terrorists]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yeah, I wondered about that, too. I could just see al-Qaida sitting around and snapping their fingers when they were "reminded" that the US is monitoring its calls. Like, OH, yeah, I should have remembered that!
What is WRONG with these people? Does the AG really REALLY believe the stuff he says? Yeah, I guess he does. We are in real trouble.

Paris Hilton & Bill O"Reilly
[Read the article: The Fix]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sorry, I am in a terrible rush, but did want to say Yes, O'Reilly to Darfur & please send P Hilton with him...along with others I might name had I the time.
As for, is Franken funny? Franken is not only funny, but he is right on about everything I've seen so far (including dark chocolate)...

Rotten Judgment? Yes, Indeed!
[Read the article: Rotten judgment in the state of Denmark]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I could not agree more with this article. I am dismayed by many (whom I once admired) who are now saying, "They don't like it? Good! Let's give 'em more of the same."
Sad. Like there is not enough strife in the world already, we should create more just for the "hell" of it? Or just to prove we CAN? Grow up folks, this isn't the second grade any more.

S Dakota
[Read the article: What we need here is a signing statement]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It sure didn't take 'em long, did it? I just wish Alito & Roberts (& all their ilk) could GET pregnant...This bill is monstrous!
-
Indiana legislators
[Read the article: Another front in the abortion war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So that's what Indiana legislators want, is it? Well then I guess we women will just have to go along with what the Indiana legislators want, because of course they, like GWB, have a direct line to the Creator...& anything I might write after this would border on (I am sure, by now, a statement that could have me investigated, arrested & charged with sedition, {like the VA Nurse in Albuquerque who is being threatened because she wrote a letter to a local newspaper stating disapproval of the B's policies in Iraq. So I guess I'd just better keep my mouth shut--that's what Democracy is all about, right?) And by the way, Ann Coulter, just don't bother to try to think, you ain't got the material...)

Hey, Wait a minute...
[Read the article: Forget that I asked]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Like most of you posters on this site, I used to thoroughly dislike GWB, thought he was deficient in the IQ category, etc. BUT since I read his last speech I have had to rethink...let me explain.
He pointed out, quite rationally I believe, that we as a nation are up against enemies who are willing to use TACTICS against us. Tactics! Oh My God. Now see, this is something I had not taken into account. This is an entirely different thing! Tactics...I shudder to think of what that might entail.

More about this & that...
[Read the article: What war can do]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just a brief post to say "Thank you" to Ebonius for posting a note that makes sense & condemns nobody for previous postings. Tempers are high right now (my own included) and it's good to see the voice of reason asserting itself...
I can understand J. Smith's anger but not his willingness to extend his hatred to an entire region of the planet. That, I feel, is excessive. And I also understand his opponent's stance (the anonymous who answers) & I do NOT think that person a coward, as one poster said.
Again, Ebonius, my thanks. If I were able I would nominate you for a seat on the Supreme Court.
Peace!

Oh, I'm so sad for Tom...
[Read the article: Tom DeLay has left the building]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hope the scumbucket finally gets what he deserves. Hey, if they send him to the slammer (which I hope they will do) he can probably get a really good job eradicating vermin in the jail...I understand they will pay about 24 cents an hour for that kind of work. More than he's worth, but it's a nasty job. Right up his alley.

Secret?
[Read the article: I have a secret Internet friendship with a married man]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That's the key word: Secret. Yes, you should break it off, but you should never have allowed it to start in the first place. The fact that you label it "secret" should give you a clue. If it had been a harmless friendship it would not have been secret.

Marijuana is sacred to the Hindu God Shiva
[Read the article: My husband went to jail for pot -- and now he's smoking again!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And it is NOT a drug.

Thanks Katharine
[Read the article: "No one died at Abu Ghraib" isn't true]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I remembered this immediately upon reading the "no one died" remark. Thanks for the post.

No WMD?
[Read the article: Wait, you mean we didn't find any WMD?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Huh? Well of all things! Someone really ought to let CNN know, doncha think?
