Most frustrating about that NY Times story was the headline: "Meals that Moms Can Almost Call Their Own." And the opening paragraph about the mom who doesn't have time to cook because of all the other things she is doing on top of her full time job. I have an idea (though it's not a multi-million dollar business plan) - what if her husband - "Dad" - helped her out in the kitchen?

When I read this article in the Sunday NYT I couldn't help but feel sad for this woman and her husband because rather than actually deal with their feelings and needs, they resort to tricking each other. The worst part about it is that this woman blames her husband for annoying her and tries to change him to better fit into the box she has created for him, rather than trying to change the one thing she actually has control over - herself - and letting her husband just be.

And so now she has a trained husband and her love for him is no longer dulled? Because she turned him into her pet project and he passed her tests? This is why everyone is telling me I need to get married, so I can have this? Is it any wonder I haven't done so yet?

is the video dog now posting videos in a new format? for some reason i can never actually view the ones with the little Salon "S" in the corner?

I am an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter (I hope you vote for her on Tuesday) as are all the women in my family. My sister gets really impassioned because a lot of her friends are supporting Obama and she doesn't understand why. Literally - can't fathom it. So I sent her your article, because her anger about it in recent days makes me not want to talk to her about it and it's the most important thing going on in our lives at the moment. And I think your article might give her a glimpse into why people choose Obama, or even why they don't choose Hillary. It certainly gave me that. I disagree - heartily - but I feel like at least I can sort of understand it.

Maybe Monday night you can spend some time on hillaryclinton.com. So that when you vote for her on Tuesday you don't feel ashamed. There is no shame in voting for the best candidate.

the obama campaign's true colors are showing once again. of course we won't hear about this anywhere - in fact, given the blatant obama-lusting of salon.com, i'm surprised (though grateful) that we heard about it here.

I was at this event. I think it's disingenuous of you to attempt to give the impression that this was the totality of Bill Clinton's message there.

I am pretty near my limit with Salon's biased coverage here. I get it that you all have your personal views and are supporting Obama's candidacy. But you have become the very mainstream media outlets you decry...the spitting image of CNN's type of coverage.

i know it's my own fault that i continue to read war room despite alex koppelman's unapologetic efforts to promote - under the guise of journalism - barack obama's candidacy. so every time my skin crawls at koppelman's transparent anti-clinton missives and his unabashed word-for-word recitation (including, as he did here, full re-prints) of obama talking points, i need to remember that i can just click away.

maybe i need to suspend my salon premium membership until after election day...with obama as the democratic nominee, i am certain salon's coverage of a mccain presidency will be worth the price of membership.

when i read this i got a momentary thrill - my first thought was, "hallelujah...maybe we'll get a break from the blatantly pro-obama slant of war room!" and now i read these letters and everyone thinks alex is off to work for hillary? it makes me wonder if we are reading the same thing. it also helps me appreciate the notion that we read political news through our own particular lens and maybe all the bias we think we see isn't really there.

good luck alex. i for one am happy you'll be gone for a bit. i do need a respite from your obama fawning.

and even better than the article was the predictable letters section. the obama machine coming out swinging, totally freaking out that someone might actually not think obama is in fact the second coming!

i have to say...the weirdly narrow-minded letter writers who think they are doing their candidate a favor by continuously proclaiming him our party's - our nation's, our world's! - savior are making it harder and harder for me to consider supporting him come november. and i know that when i say that these same people think it doesn't matter because they believe there are so many of them and therefore enough to carry their anointed one to victory. but the truth is i have never missed voting in an election - any election - since i turned 18 in 1990. and i will vote in november. if obama is the nominee, he is going to want my vote because he can count on me casting one - something he can't say about many of the people supporting his campaign. and while i would never vote for mccain, that doesn't mean i would automatically vote for obama. as it stands today, i would do so holding my nose. but i am a few weeks shy of thinking about a write-in candidate.

because honestly, you rabid obama people are freaking me out.
