For the Love of GOD!
[Read the article: I was masturbating in my office to kinky Internet porn when another mom walked in]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why in hell does it matter if its fake? I can't really see how Cary, unless he tracks down the LW, interviews her friend, looks at her internet history to make sure she's a member of a bdsm porn site, can really know if this is a true situation or not.
The fact is that any of these letters could be fake. Or the LW could be lying about the situation, could be exaggerating, or leaving out key details that would make giving him or her advice easier. Basically, I think Cary tries to pick that have situations that can apply to everyone. So, having said that, I think the LW (or anyone else caught in that sort of situation) should realize first that there might have been a part of her that wanted to get caught. I mean, even if you only have 3 % foot traffic in your office, it is still a public place. Anyone could walk in; the UPS man, another mom, etc. The door wasn't locked and you were going to town with two hands no less; c'mon. Wasn't there something just a bit titilating about the whole thing?
Maybe the reason why your feeling so much shame is because you got off on it, just a tiny bit. I think your husband needs to give you a good talking to, and possibly a little punishment, for being a dirty girl in the office AND for feeling guilty about it.

"Give him a girl"
[Read the article: The thinking man's action hero]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I always thought MacGyver was gay when I was a kid. I don't know why. I also thought my mom was a lesbian because I heard her talk about her "girlfriends", so I bet it was some overheard comment by one of the kids at school about MacGyver's "gayness" (probably not the word they used) or a completely misinterpreted episode that made me think he batted for the other team. And its stuck with me so much that my first reaction when I saw Farhad say, get a girl, was that, hey MacGyver was GAY!
I know, rationally, that an 80s show like that would never have a gay character, but whatever. My nine year old self was convinced.
I would love to see a MacGyver movie. I need to rewatch the episodes, though. It's been so long all I can remember is he had this mentor guy, right?

I'm an Obama Supporter
[Read the article: New McCain video: "Obama Love"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And I think the media is a little biased in favor him. I think it was wrong for the NYT not to run McCain's editorial, if only because it opens the door for more right wing whining re: liberal media bias. I understand their concerns, though, and in a rational world people wouldn't scream bias because they didn't run it. The editorial was more a hit job than anything else. Not once in the editorial did he articulate his plan for Iraq and why his plan is the best one for the country. If it had not have been written by John McCain but rather by some other famnous neocon, I bet it would have been published. His campaign should have gotten a surrogate to attack Obama. Then McCain should have printed an editorial that showed the positive steps he hopes to implement if the view on the ground stays the way it is today. (He's big on the view on the ground but most Americans want reassurrances that our sons and daughters aren't going to be in Iraq forever.)
I think his campaign is trying very very very hard to stay in the news constantly, especially since they know that their young, charismatic, good looking (esp. for a presidential canidate) contender just looks better on t.v. And the only way they can do that is by attacking their opponent. Unfortunately, staying in the public eye by attacking your opponent and whinging constantly isn't going to make him look like a vital and capable presidential canidate; it makes him look like a grumpy old man yelling at a cloud. (Is that from the Simpsons?)

Starbucks vs. Dunkin Donuts
[Read the article: National Review writer compares Obama to Hitler]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In my red state/red city, we don't have Dunkin donuts. We have Krispy Creme. We also have Starbucks, which is pretty much the first stop for all of those manly, jackhammer wielding construction workers who are widening our Interstate; at 6:30 a.m. they are lined up for a biscotti and venti cup of coffee.
You know what I find elitist? Its when bloggers or journalists from their Ivory Towers in New York or some other big city, who probably hasn't ever even bothered to visit the places where those hardworking Americans live, try to imply that they know ANYTHING about them. Some people down here don't like Starbucks because it's too expensive or they don't like the taste (coffee isn't as popular down here, I've found) but I don't know ANYONE who thinks drinking it makes you an elitist snob. They just think you like your coffee burnt.
JEEZ.
