Ask Shakespeare
[Read the article: Why is "Sgt. Pepper" so overhyped?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A typical Rush Limbaugh tactic; throw up a non-existant, strawdog, then show your brilliance by knocking it down. "Why....overhyped?" A) didn't realize it was, Thanks for telling us, and B) does the largest selling album of all time give you a clue? I'll bet most of the millions who bought it, or just listened and enjoyed it, couldn't tell you "why," nor care "why." Sort of like pornography....they just liked it. I was in the wholesale record business during the decade of the 60's. I've listened to and loved thousands of tunes. But if you put a gun to my head, I couldn't match 10 singers or groups with their songs. And I wouldn't waste a second trying. I'm sure it was Shakespeare who said, "it's the tune, stupid!" And you can look that up.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let's call it what it is....an addiction. Our schools graduate functional illiterates, each insisting they're capable of multi-tasking,ie: simultaneously listening to an equally illiterate decibal producing dreck on the ipod, text messenging with a fellow adenoid candidate, and doodling graffiti in hopes it will pass by his/her equally stupid, gadget addicted growth, masquerading as a teacher.
After coming to this country as a penniless Russian immigrant, actually believing, and living the American Dream story heard 'round the world, and currently enjoying a 9 figure net worth, I wonder if never seeing "the "Survivors," "American Idol", or "The Sopranos," nor owning a blackberry, ipod, or dick tracy wrist watch had anything to do with it.

Just wait....
[Read the article: This Modern World]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They wouldn't dare pull that crap if our "A" Team was there, at the same time: Susan Estrich and Bob Shrum.
I'm so proud.

Michael Savage would be so proud......
[Read the article: Good times for liberals]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Paulie, Paulie, Paulie. Have you learned nothing? This is a country that impeached the best president in a generation for a little dicky licky. (And the progressives wet their drawers, and watched.) Do you really think you could write an article, or a book, and not have the progressive long knives leaping out from behind the bushes to dismiss you as a nut because you didn't write four million words and three thousand footnotes in making a simple point(s)? Moving towards economic equality? "MARXIST!" Becoming less racist? "Not So Fast!" Unions were good for the middle class, and a bridge for the lower class? "Naive Daydreamer!" We even had an article here on Salon the other day condemning Senator Hillary Clinton for trying to appear more "calm and caring." "YUCH!"
I guess it isn't just the Rushbo Dildoheads that need to buy some valium........and a clue.
