The one time I paid any attention to Russ Feingold I was impressed by his intelligence and thought to myself, 'This is someone I would vote for'.

I hope he does run. At the very least so that when I go to vote I can do it without saying 'at least he isn't the other guy'.

Please add this to your viewing schedule. It is really a wonderfully funny show. Christine is delightful and uncomfortable and familiar feeling. Her relationship with her ex seems a bit on the unrealistic side, but I can overlook that.

Dear Mark -

You claim that using NFP should be simple because women's bodies have signals that they are ovulating. Maybe so - but to detect these small hormones you have to purchase ovulation kits - much more expensive than a box of condoms or contraceptive pills (assuming you have insurance). Further, sometimes there are glitches in the hormones that cause ovulation at weird times. I have had two menstrual cycles in a month because of stress - and they came without 'warning'. I no longer take the pill because I don't want to take the hormones anymore due to my age - but that is my choice.

My husband noticed that too. I would have been way more amused if Pitt had won though.

Everytime I read an article like this, I feel like the dog in the Gary Larson cartoon who puts up a sign in front of the dryer 'Cat Fud' and then sits in the corner thinking 'oh please, oh please, oh please'.

Crossing my fingers that you are right Joe!

You have been picking against the Steelers this whole playoffs. And they have won both games. Why did you have to change the strategy this time????

If they lose, I am blaming you.

I have been waiting for this article - checking Salon hourly - to see what you thought of the officiating. Now I feel vindicated. I guess the good news is the Steelers won anyway.

Your writing always makes sense to me. Please keep up the good fight.

I read all 6 pages of responses up to this one, some of my thoughts.

The person who made the monetary arguement that TO is underpaid because McNabb makes more money needs a reality check. Anyone who makes 49 million dollars in any combination for any reason cannot claim to be underpaid. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Further, if you are going to compare salaries, you should at least do it at equivalent positions. I'd like to see how TO is paid compared to other wide receivers - not quarterbacks.

TO is not a team player. He made that abundantly clear when he made comments that denigrated members of his team to the press. I don't care who you are - or how much you don't get along with your teammates on a personal level - you NEVER say things like he said to the press about anyone on your team. All the letters that have been written comparing which positions are more valuable than others really only go to prove the point that a weakness at any position on a team is going to negatively effect the team. Football is a team sport. Period.

TO would be better off taking up a sport where individual effort is all that is required. I'm sure he would be a terrific track star. He is an incredible athelete, an amazing pass catcher, quick and he loves to play. If he wants to continue to play football, however, he should really seek some professional help to adjust his attitude.

It's funny, I had a similar conversation with my 15 month old twin sons just yesterday. Basically I told them how much I loved to touch their cheeks and the joy I got from the way they jiggled. At this point I can't imagine not being allowed to touch my boys, and touching them is encouraged, because they are still babies. (Okay, soon to be toddlers, obviously I'm not quite ready for that). But I told them that one day, they will turn to me and say "Mommy, I don't want you to do that anymore. I don't like it." And that is when you stop. There is nothing wrong with showing affection and physical contact with your children. They will one day ask you, or more likely tell you, to leave them alone. And that is when you stop "canoodling" with your child.

Parents should control their children. Children rolling around on the floor is not acceptable behavior at a restaurant. This establishment has not banned children, they are just requesting that children behave when there. I don't really see a problem with this. If the parents don't like it, they can go somewhere else. This whole situation is indicative of the "me first" attitude of many people.
