That whole thing about "unwrapped candy bars and dessert cakes" sounds fuckin' horrible! Also, being subjected to "noises" and "disturbances"! Holy shit! That's almost as bad as living with kids! There ought to be a law. I think I'd rather be a Jew in an Iranian detention facility. Wait, never mind...

Why don't you give up the "HBO and sushi", and just raise your own children instead of paying a stranger to do it for you? Isn't it better to pay someone else to do your job (i.e. give it up) than to pay someone else to raise your child? Or, if the job is more important, why did you have the kid in the first place? Why go through the hard part if you're not going to be there to enjoy the fun part? I don't get it...

I agree with you about JFK and the mushroom cloud. However, we both know that would just result in people bitching about how crowded La Guardia is now.

why all the Democrat candidates are campaigning against George W. Bush? Do they know he can't run again? How about some substantive points regarding the potential Republican candidates. I don't care that these Dems all dislike GWB (no shit!). How about some discussion of how they differ from their Republican rivals? Demicans and Republicrats.

is losing it. If, in the near future, he does a column about soup, comfortable shoes or waiting for the mail to arrive, the glue factory must be seriously considered.

Venezuela? Are you kidding? The country may have some oil money now, but in case you didn't notice it is being run into the ground by the drug-dealing pimp who just declared himself President for Life. Sound familiar? Do you also consider Cuba a major threat? Well, that's Venezuela in 2020.

Every time I start reading an article by an anti-Semitic liberal like Gary Kamiya, I wonder how many paragraphs it's going to take for him (or Juan Cole, or Joan Walsh, or whoever the same ol' same ol' writer is) to get around to breaking out their best Mel Gibson impersonation, and blaming the Jews for all the problems in the Middle East. Well, thank you Gary, you didn't disappoint.

Members of the US military who complete SERE training are routinely waterboarded as part of their training. Are they being tortured? Should they get lawyers and file lawsuits against the military? Where is the ACLU when you need them?

and telling to see the liberals here reaching for the axe of censorship at the first sign of deviation from the party line. Don't like what Paglia has to say? Get rid of her! Get her out of here! Silence her! Censor her! Fire her! We only want to read people who agree with us! Not very "tolerant" of you, not at all. Where's the support for independent thought, for freedom of ideas? Very telling. There's a little Hillary in all of you.

how liberals can keep talking about this issue all day long without ever mentioning Bill Clinton. Forget swine flu, we have an epidemic of selective amnesia going on here...

"This sort of attempt to blame Obama for everything bad that happens to anyone, anywhere is too absurd for that."

Not so absurd, though, that liberals couldn't spend the last 8 years doing exactly the same thing with Bush, right?

How about "Appalachian Tail"?

but the explosion at the Ross store was on 3rd Street, not Wilshire. And it was due to methane gas, which is a byproduct of the tar deposits that are underground in that area. I know this because I lived about 4 blocks from there during that time. The city installed a methane vent that could be used to burn off the excess gas as needed (others were also installed in the area to prevent the same thing happening elsewhere).

to read Camille's column, then browse the vitriol, hate, intolerance and bigotry that flows like water from the deranged minds of the left-wing psychos who spew their bile on anyone who dares to fall out of liberal lockstep formation. As the left so (unintentionally) ironically likes to refer to themselves as "tolerant", it's always a kick to see the blind hatred and intolerance Camille's exercise of her right to free speech provokes. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until the weenies at Salon cave to the pressure to conform and drop Camille's column, but until then, I will be a faithful reader and I support Camille all the way!

for speaking the truth. You said you supported Obama during the campaign, based on the statements he made about his intents. We were lied to by Barack Obama when he said his administration would be different from previous administrations. Was this lie intentional? I think so. Obama is a consummate politician, and as such is a compulsive liar. That he was able to dupe enough naive people to vote him into office (with a little help from massive infusions of mysterious campaign cash) is a sad testament to both the gullibility of many Americans and the moral bankruptcy of our political system. Either way, we are now faced with a president who has an insatiable need to acquire more and more power, a total disregard for our Constitution, and the ongoing support of a state-run media. In other words, we're fucked...

As a white male heterosexual Christian, my demographic is complete open season for comics, left-wing "journalists" and other bigots who think jokes about "rednecks", Christians and white people are funny. It's annoying, and apparently totally acceptable on network television and elsewhere in the media. It seems you can only get offended or be insulted if you're a member of a "protected class". Hypocrites!
