Would men shave their legs?
[Read the article: My wife quit shaving her legs and it turns me off]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am married - for 13 years to a lovely woman who doesn't particularily care to shave her legs. I always believed that when it comes to meeting social norms, a man shouldn't expect a woman to do what our rather frivolous society decides is good. Should your spouse look like Kate Moss? Should she wear high heels? Should she get breast implants? There are a wide range of customs, mores, and styles that we have no right to impose on our partners. I only wonder what is going to happen down the line - is the letter writer going to be happy when his partner starts to look a little older - will this turn him off? I only hope that a little maturity comes with age - if not for this marriage, then for his next.
By the way - I had to shave my legs for a while when doing sports in high school and it was a pain in the ass....

I thought Colbert achieved both, but I understand that there might be grounds for disagreement on the humor, there should be none on the grounds of necessity.

This isn't all that new...
[Read the article: Murtha: Marines killed civilians "in cold blood"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It was reported in Time Magazine in March and the LA Times followed up with an article in April....
Google "Haditha." I heard about it on the radio - KPFA - Free Speech Radio.
Yet another instance of things that aren't quite important enough to cover by the "LeftWing" media.

Fine employers -
[Read the article: Fetal labor]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The solution to the illegal immigration "problem" is to fine employers $200,000 every time they employ an illegal immigrant. This would result in an economic disincentive to hiring undocumented workers and result in fairer wages for the documented. Of course, this will never happen....it would impact businesses bottom line, it would raise the cost of groceries, and Americans would have to work at some of the most thankless, nasty, and dangerous jobs in the country.

Parasites
[Read the article: A mother's love]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To those who have the temerity to call the failures of our society parasites, who you also call the members of our kleptocracy parasites? Ken Lay, George H.W., Dick Cheney,et al....
"More than 80 percent of the $1.5 billion in contracts signed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency alone were awarded without bidding or with limited competition, government records show, provoking concerns among auditors and government officials about the potential for favoritism or abuse.
Already, questions have been raised about the political connections of two major contractors -- the Shaw Group and Kellogg, Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton -- that have been represented by the lobbyist Joe M. Allbaugh, President Bush's former campaign manager and a former leader of FEMA.
"When you do something like this, you do increase the vulnerability for fraud, plain waste, abuse and mismanagement," said Richard L. Skinner, the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security, who said 60 members of his staff were examining Hurricane Katrina contracts. "We are very apprehensive about what we are seeing.""
The real parasites make the poor look like pikers.

Numb nuts.....

"Is there anyone who is smart enough to prove it is or it isn't?"
[Read the article: Rumsfeld's Iraq regret: Calling the war a "war on terror"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wow - what a wonderful defense of the Secretary of Defense's choice about troop strengths - even though the outcome has been 3,000 dead and 30,000 (give or take) wounded on our side, 100-600,000 dead Iraqi's and we are on the verge of declaring the "the central front on the war on terror"(GWB April,2006) unwinnable,
"NO ONE IS SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT I SCREWED UP" -(paraphrasing).
Mr. Former Secretary - I quite distinctly disagree. The military expression FUBAR could quite reasonably apply here. I hope that we get you before you do a Pinochet - dying before you can be tried and incarcerated for crimes against humanity.

It's all Congress' fault.....
[Read the article: A new NIE on Iraq: From bad to worse]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I am not accusing members of the Senate of inviting carnage on the United States of America. I'm simply saying, you think about what impact it may have."
Let's see.... on one hand - a non-binding resolution,
on the other - 6000 dead Americans, 30,000 wounded, 100,000-600,000 dead Iraqis, unknown number of wounded. $500,0000,000,000 in debt, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Palestinian areas in flames or rubble, and no clear path forward.
Who has done more damage to America? The Senate or the Bushites?
What a load of crap.

Where are the Tony "Cut and Run" Blair comments?
[Read the article: Blair to announce U.K.'s Iraq withdrawal timetable]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Isn't this the recipe for disaster that the neo-cons predicted when the Democrats in Congress suggested a timetable for withdrawl? Just because Bush's lapdog pulls out(isn't it sad when you are dumber than your lapdog?) and leaves us in the shitstorm we created, why can't the Rush Limbaugh's of the world expose him for the closet liberal that he is......
