[Read the article: McCain's gassy tax relief]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A24 (1999) speed limit 140kph thats about 89mph. Drove from Rouen to Geneva in one pass at one point. Regularly got passed by cars (one van of skiers) at over 100mph. More if you count the motorcycles.
But thanks for revealing what a liar and all around internet tough guy you are walter. At least we all know that now. Thanks for playing and go home to mom's basement pretending and imagining your hippy paradise.
kiss noise, liar.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You know it's funny. When my ancestors came to this country not so long ago and their family members who stayed behind in the old country....well they got the last laugh didn't they? I'm always amused by the staunch and furious liberalcrats who run around promising Martial Law and the end of democracy at the drop of a hat and then when you point out to them the real probability of real pogroms starting up in yet another educated effete and 'modern' country, well they just don't accept that it really can happen here.
But as I always remind people - I'll never forget the look on 'rabbi' Michael Lerner's face when he was on stage at some pro Palestinian 'peace' rally with ANSWER, CAIR, and some even scarier far right wing groups, and he took a few steps toward the podium to say his peace and was shouted down by the crowd and even the people with him on stage "Silence Jew, bloody zionist, dog, piece of shit...." etc etc.
(Chapel Hill, NC 2003)
The astonished look on his face was worth my getting pelted with food and rocks for wearing a kippah.
A liberal is someone who scolds the stockholder of the car company of the car that just ran over his foot and not the drunk driver behind the wheel.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sure there's some hidden 'go back to Crown Heights, kike' insult buried in there somewhere. But I have a rather thick skin. We used to protest the Soviet embassy in NYC back in the 70's and the cops would come out and smack us around. I'm pretty sure most people here have a notion of expressing a fervently held belief they cling passionately to is more akin to blogging or maybe playing disk golf or signing a petition or something like that.
I remember a lecture once I attended where some scholar estimated that if we go back and erase all the pogroms since about the 4th century there would be something like 250-300 million Jews in the world today instead of maybe 14. In 50 years we'll still be Jewish and your 'liberal' Jews, whatever that means, will be people who once had Jewish ancestors. At that point, it really doesn't matter what they believe or think they represent. It would be like me pretending to speak for Belarussians or Poles. Hey come to think of it, maybe I should petition the Polish state and the Belarus state to recognize my refugee status as a Pole and a Belarussian and they should give me a house and as stipend? Yeah that works for me. In this day and age everyone (well the Palestinians at any rate unique in the world, refugees unto the infinite generation, forever, for eternity, legally, look it up, that's the law according to the UN) is a refugee so I figure I'm entitled.

[Read the article: McCain's gassy tax relief]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why I remember back in the day when the speed limit in IOWA was 80mph. Yes yes I'm sure the Salon OCD potheads will scramble for Wiki on that one. Have a nice day, assholes.

So is that all black people live in the ghetto
[Read the article: Race and the white coat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Or is it that the only people who live in the ghetto are black? My doctor is black, and female, my cardiologist is Indian and Muslim. In the 'burbs. Most of my doctors patients are black. Most regular patients have chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and such.
If you want to see bias in medical care look at gerontology.

Dear me, Joseph
[Read the article: Let's dump "Earth Day"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are you trying to get tarred and feathered? I'm afraid we're going to have to pull your Liberal card on this one and declare you an enemy of the state what with your obviously brain washed far right wing zionist colonialist inspired mental disorder.
My hands are over my ears I can't hear you I can't hear you I can't hear you lalalalalalalalalala.

Keep stealing my water, urban hippies
[Read the article: Your very own climate change Victory Garden]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We're not allowed to irrigate because of the drought. So yeah, you slap those plastic gardening Clogs on your feet tromp out to your 1 sqm 'garden' and keep watering and watering and watering. Me? I'll be turning everything over because it's dead. Thanks.
Why don't you grow pot instead?

Well at least the Democratic train crash
[Read the article: Attention, pundits. It ain't over]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Will yield another 8 years of blogworthy growling, threats and anger from Salondotcom. Because you know, the Obama express is going to fly off the rails and land in a river on election day and all the Obamatrons will simply be shocked, shocked I tell you. Which is a shame. They meant well and if they were going to trounce the GOP it should have been this time. It had to be this time. Oh well, 8 more years of this shit.

The agony
[Read the article: Desperately unhappy in the top Ivy League school]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of being young, rich and privileged. I recommend you head west, become a lesbian, enroll in Berkeley, burn some flags, protest and get a job sorting mail at Salon. If you need a Che t-shirt you can get them online.
