For crying out loud. Of COURSE Michelle Malkin deserves whatever insults and harassment she gets. Of COURSE there is no reason why liberals should jump to the defense of Michelle Malkin.

There is no reason why anyone should feel obligated to jump to the defense of someone who has become very wealthy by writing bigoted books and supporting the political party that makes a nice, comfortable home for sexists, racists and homophobes.

The correct response to Michelle Malkin's whining is "Well, now you know how it feels to be on the receiving ened of bigotry and harassment. I guess you'll be withdrawing your books from print and apologizing for publishing the home phone numbers and addresses of those college students who were protesting the war."

People who become millionaires by promoting bigotry don't GET to complain when it is directed against them.

That was the serendipitous way I misread the end of the last sentence.

he writes: "As for Giuliani, what did he do after the '93 bombing? In their reporting for "Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11," journalists Wayne Barrett and Dan Collins went to great lengths to find out. The answer, they discovered, was that he did nothing."

Not true. Not true at all. Giulani did do something extremely significant: He put the city's crisis center in the WTC. So the correct answer is that he did do something. Something extremely stupid.

I was really enjoying the story and recalling the romance of my high school days in the South when this inconguous sop to the dittoheads appeared on the page:

"To me, mainstream environmentalism, with its emphasis on "preservation" (as if the best we could hope for is to place nature beyond the reach of humankind's destructive impulse, like a cookie jar on a high shelf) isn't much better than the environmental nihilism of unregulated logging."

What kind of a "#€%&/(!"#€# straw man is that? Even so, I'd rather have old-growth redwoods out of reach "on a high shelf" than made into shelves. Sheesh.

...by a large segment of the population. Always has been. This has been played out over the years in everything from voting to smoking cigarettes. A lot of Americans don't like women who try to act like men or men who try to act like women.

What's more, there is the implication in the article that it's all just an act for both of them, so they aren't portrayed only just gender benders, but as gender-bending phonies.

Thus, the article was damaging to both candidates -- two of the three people who are our only hope of kicking the Publicans out of the White House. Given that the Publicans have all but destroyed this country, Scherer was surprised at the fury?

A few nights ago, for example, we witnessed the death of one American soldier and the critical wounding of two others when a lethal armor-piercing explosive was detonated between an Iraqi Army checkpoint and a police one. Local Iraqis readily testified to American investigators that Iraqi police and Army officers escorted the triggermen and helped plant the bomb. These civilians highlighted their own predicament: had they informed the Americans of the bomb before the incident, the Iraqi Army, the police or the local Shiite militia would have killed their families.

The passage above is worth a lot more than any number of opinions or theories or paragraphs of analysis. It says all that really needs to be said on the subject.

Put their stuff in the dumpster. They can take their fucking spawn of Satan to a homeless shelter. Seriously. Check with a lawyer, but then just kick them out.

No mercy.

Oh, and by the way, in Dante's Infero, the lowest circle of Hell is reserved for "betrayers of benefactors."

...to be, as he put it, "a uniter, not a divider." But he lied aboutthat, didn't he? Just like he has lied about every singly policy and program of his whole sad, sorry, failure of a presidency.

But maybe you think that leaving the country weaker than it was when he took office is what he was elected to do. In that he has certainly succeeded.

That's what Reaganomics was all about. And UAW members helped put him and other Republicans into office for 25 years.

And "I got mine, screw you," is STILL what UAW is all about. You can see it in their health care cave-in. Now that GM has offloaded its health insurance obligation, what incentive do any of the execs have to support health care for everyone? Whatever incentive they once had -- like the cost that health care was adding to every car, is now gone.

But for those UAW workers, no worries about health care in the short term. They got theirs. Screw everyone else, they got theirs.

My God, Tracy. Have you never seen any other AXE ads? AXE uses something called humor. Things called jokes. J-o-k-e-s. Come ON. ALL the ads are over the top. And I'm pretty sure you are the only person who has ever taken them literally.

Congratulations. Someone parodying a humorless feminist could not have done a better job than you did in this column.

They are responsible for what they do with their lives and whether they are happy or not. You cannot fix them or their broken lives.

You are, however, responsible for the wellbeing of your child. Putting yoursef in a situation that is sure to be physically, emotionally and financially taxing is no way to bring up a kid. It's a recipe for failure.

But maybe, after all your boring successes, you want the thrill and the agony of failure to spice up your life. If so, follow Cary's advice.
