AKA, you've got this right!
[Read the article: Making sense of Super Tuesday]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I actually think the more dangerous Obama supporters are people who actually are some of the crossover voters who are extreme Hillary-haters. Sure as the sun's gonna rise, those voters will vote for McCain in the fall."
Yep. Been saying that for a while now. It's a bummer. I still wish Hil and Obama would just team up. A walking Republican nightmare, that pair.

Just hilarious
[Read the article: What do young men mean when they say, "Let's hang out"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That was one entertaining letter and a situation with which I am well acquainted. So, I have no advice for you LW, but you really made me laugh. Thank you! I am off to read Cary's answer. Good luck and remember, stay away from anyone identifying as a rock star, or carrying the word "dirty" in their nickname.

Agreed
[Read the article: "Fool's Gold"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]McConaughey and giggling Kate= ehhh.
Sutherland is cool.

[Read the article: What I really wanted to say to Chris Matthews]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Chris has to do that or he loses his show. He's absolutely obnoxious and you did fine. You should be happy you don't have to be him and you can ride off into the sunset of reality, which TV doesn't do a very good job at. Good article too, but I like HRC and Obama, together. Is that so wrong?

Look Ma, no oxygen!
[Read the article: No climate for old men]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Look ma, dead coral reefs, vanishing species, contamination everywhere! We'll be lucky if we can figure a way out of this environmental disaster we created ourselves. Less so if we keep wasting time on useless distractions.
And America is still fighting over who is black, who is white, and who is man or woman.

Well said with McCain/Rice example, lateagain
[Read the article: What I really wanted to say to Chris Matthews]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Would you vote for that ticket just because it's got an extra X, in spite of the fact that that particular XX was instrumental in planning and executing an immoral and poorly conducted war? I wouldn't."-l.a.
Right on. (Head nod, back pat.) That's all, just wanted to repeat this part because you've explained something important very well.

Slimy gash?
[Read the article: What do young men mean when they say, "Let's hang out"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wow Tina, you just turned me into a lesbian with a single paragraph. (Joking, since hardware isn't the issue here, but here it is again):
"The only thing guys have a fleeting interest in is that slimy gash between your legs. For that, they will do a lot for a short time. But don't kid yourself that it has anything to do with you. If you tore off your head men wouldn't notice, unless you give really good blow jobs. BTW this is even true if you marry the man."-ts
Why does it have to be so black and white for this young LW? ALL men are this empty and predatory? ALL men have a singular ulterior motive? I must be on a different planet which I think I'll stay on after reading all these letters, particularly the ones that seem from one person posting as anonymous. What a brutal single world it sounds like and you have my condolences. Damn.
Gimme Shelter!

@ tina s
[Read the article: What do young men mean when they say, "Let's hang out"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You must be very hot. Being a good girl-friendly type I'll just say, you go girl!
Most of the time I am doing some kidding in my posts because everyone is so very serious. I think you are mostly correct but it sounds like absolute hell. I suppose we share some similar experiences in this realm, and yes, all painful, all disillusioning. Before I join the chant "Men are pigs!" I know a few good men, they do exist and they make the jerks look even less attractive.
Speaking of very serious, I've got a song in my head while I leave for this serious budget meeting. I hope I don't start chuckling when the hatchet man enters the room. He might come after me next, and... well....Whatta Man!
"...everytime I need him he's always got my back,
never disrespectful cause his momma taught him that..."

Love is a Battlefield
[Read the article: What do young men mean when they say, "Let's hang out"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Aw ts, I just want to hug you after you posted, "It feels like a battle all the time and I don't know why it should."
I can see why it feels like a battle because according to what I've witnessed and experienced, it is. It's not all bad though! You just need a solid wing-woman and/or a group of interesting and funny girlfriends to go out with. Maybe you just need to have more fun doing some exhilarating (or even goofy) activities. Take the seriousness out of it while you still young, hot, intelligent, etc!
C'mon now, put on Whatta Man, you know you want to hear it. Dance in your academia, never mind the begrudgers! 99 cents, get it now on your online music store. I know it's hard to believe, but I am not Salt nor am I Pepa but just a girl who wishes you well.
LW, yes we are all nuts here. Since you are on Salon you probably know that already. Good luck in your new city and remember, no rock stars!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]""Let's hang out" is what wussies say instead of "I have tickets to a play. Would you like to go?""
So funny. Truth in jest!

@ timbuktom
[Read the article: What do young men mean when they say, "Let's hang out"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I should learn not to poke my head back into this sort of thread. I did that juuuuuuuuust long enough to read your post Timbuktom, and I am not sure whether to laugh or to cry (for the poor girl posting in this mayhem).
I am still singing Whatta Man in my head if anyone wants to know. Again and for the last time, good luck LW, and I hope you aren't in NYC or SF. One will eat you alive, the other may be a lot of, well, really just hanging out. Have fun!
OK, I am leaving now. I can't take this seriously.
Kisses,
Salt or Pepa... haven't decided yet. Maybe time for a screen name change.
