Bette Midler approves
[Read the article: My mother-in-law put a curse on us and spat in my husband's face]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I put a spell on you
And now you are mine
You can't stop the things I do
I ain't lying
It's been 300 years
Right down to the day
Now the witch is back
And there's hell to pay
I put a spell on you
And now
You are mine
Hello Salem
My Names Winnie. Whats yours?
I put a spell on you
And now you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, so long!
My whammy fell on you
And it was strong
So strong, so strong, so strong!
Your wretched little lives have all been cursed
'Cause of all the witches working
I'm the worst!
I put a spell on you,
And now you're mine
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, she ain't lyin'
If you don't believe
You'd better get superstitious
Ask my sisters!
She's vicious
I put a spell on you
A wicked spell
I put a spell on you
Sisters!

Is he Muslim?
[Read the article: MSNBC on the "pregnant man": "I'm gonna be sick"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That's a serious question. Doesn't Islam dictate that when their Messiah comes he will be born of a man?

Is that even a relevant question?
[Read the article: How much does solar power pollute?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We could clone whales by the million and chop them up for oil too. But that's not really the direction we want to head in.
No the fact is that any long run solution is going to be a mixture of things just like it is now. A little solar a little fission, some oil/coal/gas, a little wind, a little algae and anything else they can come up with. That's the only rational approach. Anyone's who's waiting for the Gigantic Magical Monkeywrench is just delaying real solutions to engineering and economic problems for the sake of ideology. Does soalr pollute across its lifecycle?
EVERYTHING pollutes across its lifecycle. Anytime you make, break, process or recycle something you're creating some kind of pollute, waste or throwoff energy. Hells Bells, recycling paper uses mercury and sulfuric acid.

For a Guy who lives and dies by rhetoric, Gary
[Read the article: The Iran boogeyman is back]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You always miss its application by others. The point to making noise about Iran is to make noise about Iran. To put them on notice obliquely. That's what countries do. As in any country that's had to deal with North Korea, rhetoric's been elevated to art form that almost entirely metaphor, as a stark example. Iran is not a country that anyone will have any success dealing with directly. They view themselves as a regional power, with an agenda and a mandate.
Moreover, it can't be that their open support of OTHER sub-military and guerilla armies in the region has either escaped you or is irrelevant, is it? Iran via the IRGC funds Hezbollah to the tune of more than $50-60 million dollars a month. Those are their numbers. So the idea that it's preposterous they would fund similar groups in Iraq, is, I'm sorry, preposterous itself.
Obliquely is simply how you deal with some countries. Have you ever had to deal with anyone or any organization in the mideast or in Asia, Gary? Directness does not work. You have to work at everything sideways. You never hear yes, you never hear no, you hear something else. You hear a lot of back channel stuff, face saving and honor politics. You hear a lot of dancing. Everything's scripted everything's representative.
Petraeus is telling the Iranians that frontal assault won't work, that overt action is something no one wants and that if they want to talk to the US, and they do you know, they're going to have to do it by meeting the US partway and not by dictating terms.
I really wish sometimes people who wrote about the mideast and SW Asia knew something of the mideast, SW Asia and the cultures and people there.

See that's exactly the problem with Americans
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You'll flip out over words and epithets and miss entirely if your savior has anything of useful substance to say at all. Like it or not, the left has staked out its shame and guilt position on race while ignoring gender equality. Don't believe me? Ok there's a ton of race/Civil Rights legislation in this country and not the ERA. No no no the left would rather feel shamed and horsewhipped on race before it would ever elect a woman to the Presidency. That's obviously the case. You don't like Hillary and believe you me you'll find something wrong with the next female candidate too. And the one after that. Why? You've bought into the whole 400 years of slavery to be atoned for line and at this point you're willing to give the Presidency to the first significantly Black candidate who looks promising. But you don't want to go too far, you don't want actual results, you want salvation. You hope that when Obama is President race will go away and you will finally be off the hook. But, sorry to tell you - Obama's Presidency will be paper thin. It will be shiny and hopeful, a mile wide and 4 inches deep. And our estranged girlfriends in the EU will like us again. Of course that won't translate into action or results, but at least you can feel good about traveling to Europe w/o pretending you're Canadian.
