I can do with or without smileys and other faces...I don't really notice them anymore after all this time...don't bother me at all...

But I would pay any price...*any* price...if I could just get people to stop using LOL...the true scourge of the Internet.

I HATE THAT!!!!

How much is Herr Hitler...ummmmmm...I mean...Herr Ahmadinejad paying you?

Although I am a long-time Macintosh snob, I don't own an iPhone...don't mess with cell phones at all. No matter though...this article by Amanda Fortini is the most entertaining thing I've read in a long time. Great piece of writing here...thanks.

Funny that you seem surprised...that you've just discovered that she's "prefab."

What did you think she was?

Where do you come up with this stuff?

What difference does it make if he is white or black?

If it walks like a nazi, and if it talks like a nazi...ummmmmm...well...you get the point...

He's got all the characteristics, including a henchman named Rahm Emanuel.

You'll see...it won't be long until they'll be (literally) busting heads of these older, "well dressed" people who don't like the idea of Obamacare.

Nazis...fascists...arrogance...class hatred...no tolerance for criticism...it's all there at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Pomposity? This guy is even worse than that. I can't remember the last time I heard a guy who was so filled with himself.

With that in mind, I'm sure he won't mind hearing that when my current subscription to Wired expires (been a subscriber since its first year) I won't be renewing...maybe I'll just get everything I need to know from his Twitter box or something.

What a jerk.

Although I don't agree with some of the things Joan is saying here, I definitely agree that it's time for Mark Sanford to resign.

Actually, it was time for him to resign on the day he was caught and made his "confession." I don't care about the sex stuff...but he's proven to be flaky and unstable...and who in their right minds would now trust him to be the "chief executive" of anything?

I'm actually agreeing with Joan about something????

Yikes. I better call my psychiatrist right away.

Jane,

I have to admit that Bill skimmed you on this one. Made you look bad...or...no...you made yourself look bad. Really bad.

It's funny that you had to write such a long diatribe about your appearance on the show...couldn't you just have mentioned that you were on the show and ask us to watch it?

Wouldn't that have been enough?

Bill skimmed you and you knew it...thus you had to try to cover yourself with that write-up.

Ha ha ha.

And what did you mean when you said that Bill was going to be "sorry"?

Sounds like a threat of some kind.

You're pathetic.

Typical.

Weak...really weak. Is this the best Salon can do?

Ah yes...Joy Behar. She admitted at one point that she is not a "political person"...and whenever she tries to talk about anything political she proves that.

So did Ann Coulter make Joy look like a fool? No. Joy makes Joy look like a fool.

I used to think her voice was so hoarse and crude because she drinks and smokes too much...sounds like it and looks like it...but now I see it's also because all she does is yell.

She is quite the joy.

No one should say anything against Obama. If they do, it's either racist...or...:::::::GASP:::::: it's UNFAIR!!!!!! UNFAIR!!! :::::::::sigh::::::::::::

What will we do? What *will* we do?

Joan,

It's so much fun to watch you (and a few others) try to spin everything and make excuses for Obama's weak moves ever since the election. And I love it when you say that you "suspect" that he's going to have to say and do more about the economic mess in the weeks ahead.

What a brilliant insight...ummmmm...yeah...he soon will officially be President, and he's going to *have* to finally do something. I can't wait to see him finally have to do something other than just talk.

By the way...I caught the discussion the other night between you and Christopher Hitchens. You were hilarious....at the mention of Susan Rice, you said, in her defense (not just once but twice)...she's a friend of mine!

She's a friend of yours??? Wow...why didn't you just say so at the beginning, and there would have been no need for any disagreement?

Keep up the good work, Joan.

Obama says, "Drink your Kool-Aid, Joan."...and because Obama says it, she drinks it. All of it. Gulping it down. To the last drop. Good girl...cuz Obama says so...that makes it right.

Joan...you weren't just writing a satire, were you? Ha ha ha...it sounds a lot like that's what you were doing there...ha ha ha.

*MoodyRiver*

You're a conciliator? Really? That's as big a joke as saying that the Democrats control all three branches of government. Ummmmmmmm...OK...so they now control the executive, legislative and (let's not forget) the media. Only judicial is left...so I guess you were correct in your first edition when you said three. Funny stuff, Joan...take a rest.

And by the way...maybe I didn't read your posting closely enough: Did you decree how long Obama's honeymoon should last? Four years? Eight years?

How long until anyone will be able to ask him a hard question without being accused of being a racist (or worse)?

While Berlusconi was cracking lame jokes about Obama's tan, I could see Medvedev already planning how he's going to take Obama down a few notches...maybe planning a "BidenTest" or something like that. It's all going to be very interesting.
