  • Errr...

    May I suggest a few prescription meds washed down with the libation of your choice, liberally and frequently. It's how the rest of America survives.

  • We can only hope

    [Read the article: William F. Buckley Jr. is dead at 82 ]

    That his last few years were physically excruciating, that he suffered deeply, and, that at the moment of his death he came to realize what a worthless piece of shit he was.

    See you in hell, bitch.

  • This is a joke, right?

    If not, here's a solution guaranteed to work: Kill the dogs and eat them. Then kill your husband and eat him. Finally, kill yourself.

    Make sure you perform the above instructions on the current filthy carpet- your landlord will appreciate only having to replace it once.

  • Hey.. Wait a minute-

  • From a mechanical standpoint...

    [Read the article: Playing soldier]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The Harley Davidson motorcycle as a metaphor for contemporary America: Slow, clumsy, overweight and inefficient. Overpriced, even by the most generous standards.

    Loud and flashy, its designers favor appearance over actual performance. Sells itself as being tough, innovative and reliable, when, in reality, it owes its existence to a nostalgia for the past.

    Despite the brand's incompetence, both on the track and and on the street, it nonetheless has adherents who are willing to invest themselves fully in a losing cause.

  • Eewwww

    Thanks for the article. Now I don't feel so bad about my childhood- at least the beatings and death threats my parents visited upon their offspring and one another were "normal."

  • Just wonderin'

    If Laird or his siblings were ever allowed/encouraged to physically participate in the polyamorous-ity, either with the folks or with one another... Do "open" relationships have (theoretical) age and/or blood relation restrictions?

  • Blessed RAYS

    [Read the article: Rays-Red Sox: The day after]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The Rays are blessed this year and from now on. Ever since they dropped "DEVIL" from their name, God has picked them to win every World Series, forever.

    Also, it helps that they're from Floriduh- it's Jesus' favorite state.

    Ummmmm, football players and football fans the world over are, well, to put it diplomatically, fucking stupid.

    Football or Futbol, doesn't matter. Any individuals investing themselves in the pastime in any way whatsoever, are goons. And an idiots.

    Sorry, I'm just sayin'- don't kill the messenger.

  • !!!Poseur Alert!!!

    [Read the article: Sarah Palin's dead lake]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Caribou Barbie obviously doesn't know THAT much about fishing. She's got her little spincast rod/reel combo upside-down in that photograph... Being that it's the sort of tackle you give to a child to fish for bluegill, one would think that a serious outdoorswoman would at least know how to use it.

    Shades of John Kerry and the deer-hunting gaffe.

  • @hyblaean

    [Read the article: I'm gay, I provide for my parents, and they're voting Republican!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Using, I suppose, what masquerades as some sort of "logic," hyblaean concludes: "Believe it or not, everything is not about you, and your needs."

    The official Republican platform wants to limit basic civil rights for a portion of the population that numbers in the millions.

    But, yeah, it's probably not about their selfish needs either. Maybe hyblaean could write back and let us know what everything IS about.

    >>>I used to fish for carp there<<<

    Ha ha. That's funny. Carp fishing. Fishing for carp. You are kidding, right? Cuz no self-respecting person would ever admit to such a thing, fishing for carp. Carp fishing.

    You didn't stick a piece of corn on an Eagle Claw and toss it out in the direction of some slimy piece of flip-flopping swimshit, did you? You never carp fished, come on Zoltan, you're just kidding. Even as a kid, you never did. Say it. Say you're just joshin' and you didn't mean it.

    Zoltan, please- even as a kid you must have known that carp fishing is analogous to taking a job shoveling horse shit just so you can be around a horse's asshole when it coughs out a big green steamer, right Zoltan?

    "We country folk always think it's funny when city folk act like they know how to hunt and fish."

    Yeah, we country folk always think it's funny when some tool from the suburbs calls himself "country." Guess you could say when it comes to recognizing poseurs, we country folk have pretty good eyes for the details.

    Oh, V-chuck, something fell right out of your ass; wait-here it is: "Palin has been doing both all her life and you want to tell me she is holding her rod and reel upside down" Hey V-chuck, don't you think someone who has been fishing her whole life might have found something other than a fucking 6 year-old's Zebco as tackle? Perhaps she had to choose between a big-kid's rod and a fishing license? 25 bucks IS lot to spend on a combo- I'm sure it was a difficult decision for the mom on a budget.

    Here's something else from you rectum, V-chuck: "one hand gets tired or reeling." What, what, dear god WHAT in the fuck are you talking about? She has a ball of cheese wrapped around a treble hook with a little red and white bobber, all props for what is so obviously a publicity shot. She made one motherfucking cast all day, V-chuck, and it was right before that photo was snapped, you god-forsaken imbecile.

    Wonder what she's fishing for, V-chuck? I'll give you a hint: she's not going for the crappy inbred Rainbows they stock in that fetid pond. It's you she's fishing for, V-chuck, you and all the other little fishies like you.

    And guess what, V-chuck? Looks like they're bitin' today, looks like you're bitin'real good.

    See ya on the water, country boy.

  • Scientific?

    [Read the article: Indie film's ultra-realist overdose]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    contemporary Catholic theology resists literal readings of Scripture and is not in the least anti-scientific

    Uhhhmm, sorry dude- game over.

    One of the most firmly held beliefs in the Catholic church is in the "Immaculate Conception." Trust me, the priests you mentioned in your review believe in it- literally. And if they don't they would be considered apostates.

    So, unless there is some new science you've been holding back on, contemporary Catholic theology, is, at the very least, unscientific.

  • Loyalty to loyal customers?

    >>>half of the customers who buy a new Mac from the Apple Store are new to the platform<<<

    What about the other half who aren't?

    Apple's strategy is obvious. They want to build a better PC, NOT a better Mac.

    I can see the ads now: "New from Apple: a more expensive computer that's crappier than its predecessor! Sure, it sucks, but it's designed by the same people who brought you the iPhone. And the iPod. We call it i-cool (tm)."

    Dell and Sony are looking better all the time.
