Ya missed the boat, Al. The incidents aren't equivalent.

...enjoy.

Excellent column, Ms W.

...and the writers botch a serious topic.

It happens.

Get over it.

(But, boy, did they botch it!)

...was just the cost of the weekly McMahon butt shot and/or the prospect of a Lopez-like hottie in the shower or screwing sofas.

Totally worth it!

(If I knew how to work the i,b, and ul htmls I'd've done the trifecta on Totally.)

It's going to be decades. It's a war against religious extremists. It will continue until all religions are purged of their extremists who insist on meting out outrageous punishments in the name of god. As if god cared about physical punishment. As if god needed someone to act as spokesperson or executioner. Blasphemous!

...from "family jewels" to "junk."

There's a message in that...somewhere.

you might be right. She seems down. Wish she'd talk to a professional instead of us.

Boring.

...Teaser on front page is not. Terrible. "God" doesn't "hate" anyone.

...under secretary who reads This Modern World and reports directly to the President would be a consummation devoutly to be hoped.

...this is too real.

Yet, ya gotta admire the man for trying.

...her prints are on the axe, but no blood splatter on her clothes and the body position and location might get her off.

Justice served.

"... was arrested for breaking into his own home..." is inaccurate. If you start with a mis-statement, what else are you going to do with accuracy? And why should anyone believe you? Or respect your opinion?

One of the words in the family of "fund" is fundament, among which one choice definition is Buttocks, anus.

'Nuff said.

'nuff said.

Aren't crabs "mortals," too?

"I simply welcome an invitation by the United States Senate to come here today."

Ricci made a good play with his opportunity. One wonders if the "Senate" members who issued the invite aren't just a tad chagrined. (And if not, why not?)

...line is Saford's "I'm trying to fall back in love with my wife."

He said that out loud!

Television is an easy culprit, but not a cause, of a lack of self-disciplne.

C'mon, Joan. He doesn't need anymore ink. Just the headline is good enough.

Write about health care instead.

A headline like this: "RL-no change; Obama's Health Care Plan not yet on track" and then a nice discussion about the plan.

Quoting him just keeps him in the spotlight.

Funny. Insightful. Logical. Neat ending.

...Who are you and what have you done with Carol Lay?

All Miss California "won" were the middle aged and senior citizen Republican males who are in need of fresh material for their wet dreams, now that the Coultergeist has become a middle aged harridan. Silicone enhanced breasts beat out drawn and skinny any day.

This little effort is aimed at whatever poor intern/newbie is assigned to read all these letters.

Hi.

Tell your editors that the Wingnut concept might have been a good one, but the wingnut chosen to do the writing fails to do much logical thinking, unless, of course, the idea was to show the paucity of logic in wingnut positions.

So, either get a new writer with more brain matter or acknowledge the point has been made (right wingnuts have no ideas) and stop this experiment.

(Unless, of course #2, the idea is to give left wing near-nuts the gift of roiled stomach juices!)

In porn "tea bag" is the scrotum...figure out the rest on your own.

Have fun.

If Joan and the guys are looking for a replacement for Opus, they might expand their search for a new comic for the Friday edition, too.

The problem with LOM was Jason O. He had the worst facial expressions seen on the tube. Pretty, but ineffectual.

While Insta-Punditry is quick, it turns out that insta-news is quicker. It only takes a day's delay for a quick opinion/story to become sullied, viz the "Hide Tim Geithner" on the morning after an interview and just hours before a Congressional hearing.

Talk about bad timing luck.

...resulted in a 100% rejection of the idea of using recycled paper as "bathroom tissue" (aka asswipe).

Trial balloons sometimes take years before they soar.

...in case no one else noticed...it's "cui" not qui.

...has a constituency which is slghtly to the left of center. Her $$$ constituency is, not slightly, comfortably to the right of center. Her votes will reflect the $$$ interests.

But what's new about that?

She'll play the back and forth game, looking at times like a progressive, but never endangering the "conservative" interests.

But what's new abouth that?

...The Prime Mover's the one who flicked that bit of space dust.

Nobody yet reminds us of the ineffectual response Reagan delivered in October 1983 after the Beirut barracks bombing.

Lobbing a few shells into the hills, declaring victory, and removing the military presence encouraged the murderous tactics of Islamic fundamentalist thugs.

We owe Reagan so much.

Look at the picture from YouTube. See the eyes, see the hair line, see the jowly neck? Except for the beard, it's Jerry Falwell.

Who says there's no second act?

Is this a metaphor for organized religion?

(If not, why not?)

Put a picture of Warren next to picture of Falwell and see two overweight, smug snake oil salesmen.

Obviously (despite the difference in time-as-we-define-it) twins separated at birth!

Isn't the masculinization of the Deity the greatest blasphemy of all?

Carol and Opus in the same week...tears of joy and sadness.

...ought to be put to rest (I think).

Someone, somewhere, wrote a story which explained the cost.

The haircut (which probably did cost more than $20) was so expensive because the barber had to be compensated for his "lost" income incurred during his travel time to and from the plane.

So: haircut + travel time = $400.

Weeks of snoozeville; even a plane crash couldn't resusitate this yawner.

...try this fanciful scenario:

It won't happen, but it's not implausible...much.
