I can't in all honesty tell King "I told you so", even though I did post here that the Warriors would win the series. The truth is, I wasn't much more confident than he was. I'm actually a Warriors jinx. I moved to the Bay Area the year they drafted Chris Webber and they've been cursed ever since. And here's something no man should cop to, but for most of Tuesday's loss I was watching VERONICA MARS. I can't help myself, I love Kristen Bell, while I only like Baron Davis. Whenever I switched to the game during commercials, the Warriors would do lousy. Then at ten o'clock, it all went downhill for the Dubs. On Thursday, I did the right thing and only watched sporadically until I felt their lead was safe. Go Warriors! I promise not to watch round two. BTW It's just the opposite for the Sharks. If I tune away for even a moment, the Red Wings score.

Chickenhawks, Chickenhawks, they're our team

Surrender monkeys make us scream

Victory, victory, that's our goal

Jam a square peg into a round hole

Bebop-o, if you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

THE SLEUTH is the only right wing blog I read on a regular basis. Mary Ann Akers is a harmless nitwit and once in a while a good discussion breaks out in her comments section. The people who post there aren't as smart as Salon regulars so I don't feel quite as dumb as I do here.

If it wasn't for France's help during the Revolutionary War, Americans today would be speaking English.

Bebop-o is one tough fitness trainer

I'm a lot more buff, but a little less saner

I do sit-ups on the floor, until my abs are hard

Bebop-o sips up wine galore, and gabs on like a bard

LW, Don't tell your daughter about her mother's abortions. It's too bad she's no longer a lesbian. That would have saved you all kinds of worries.

Rachel Maddow would be great, but then I might have to start watching. I don't want to do that. Actually, they all should be replaced. Everyone mentioned above would be great.

Good advice. I think you said it all. Not sure why all these other people are chiming in.

If more people cared about the state of our union and the chronic corruption it offers policy makers and their crony corporations maybe our futures would be a little brighter. Get real and report the news.

Either get over yourself or stop wasting valuable time commenting on threads you don't think are worthy of discussion.

I for one am tired of blowhards like Rahm Emanuel and James Carville stealing all of Howard Dean's glory.

Now that David Chase has completed THE SOPRANOS perhaps he could just write the neocons off our show.

I’ve come up with a fun new game to make reading her bile almost bearable. Almost. It’s based on the jars filled with jellybeans you sometimes see at carnivals; whoever comes closest in guessing the number of beans in the jar wins. Well, think of each new Paglia essay as the jar and of her lies as the jellybeans. In this month’s round of “Count the Lies,” I came up with a total of six. See if you can spot any I missed! -- Eric Meyer

Like Yossarian, a carnival game crossed my mind while reading Camille's column. I was reminded of the the one where you throw balls at a target and dunk the insult hurling clown. Sure her posts are smug and annoying, but the comments she gets are great fun indeed. It's so satisfying to feel superior to somebody with a superiority complex. Everybody keep up the good work, Camille included.

You seem to have a very convenient memory. Millions of women children and intellectuals died when we ran from Vietnam. To ignore that fact while advocating running away from a similar situation is disingenuous at best and at worst downright despicable.

Howard, millions more people would have been killed in Vietnam if we had stayed. Your ignoring this fact of history is what is despicable. Another despicable thing you did is over-estimate the number of Vietnamese casualties. After the we left in 1975 there were no where near a million Vietnamese casualties. You are counting the deaths in Cambodia which right wingers like you wouldn't have done anything about anyway. In fact it was the Vietnamese who put a stop to the killing fields.

If we pull out of Iraq, the civil war will stop, and there will be fewer deaths. How do I know this is true? Because people like Howard say the opposite, and they have been wrong about absolutely everything.

Obviously none have read or understood Santayana's words "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

Those who misinterpret and lie about history, condemn innocents to death. Patrick and his neo-con fellow travelers should have studied the Vietnam War and learned the real lesson it has to offer.

58,000 deaths helped to achieve. But those lives are still looked upon as "wasted" by those who exalt in tunnel vision, who inherited their unearned freedoms and wouldn't lift a finger to defend them.

Manion understood something Camille Paglia probably never will.

What's with all of these right wingers misinterpreting the history of the Vietnam War. Those 58,000 American deaths and the millions of Vietnamese deaths had nothing to do with the fall Of the Soviet Union. It was the Russian deaths and expenses incurred in their occupation of Afghanistan that caused it. Period, end of discussion! When right wing nationalists tell lies, innocents die, and their countries are doomed. Stop it all of you. Go to church, or go to school and learn something. Right wing ignorance is killing all that is good in the world.
