Just reading the letters...
[Read the article: "Fidelity is a personality trait"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks to BaconBit's quoting:
"I was wearing a black miniskirt, not so short that it was unseemly, but neither so long that it would pass the scrutiny of the headmistress of a Catholic school. Underneath I wore stockings and a garter belt. Had it been July or August, I might have claimed that I wore this outmoded style of lingerie because it was hot, and because wearing panty hose in the summer in New York is an invitation to a yeast infection. This was, in fact, the reason that I owned the garter belt. But it was March. The first crocuses were just beginning to peek through the remains of the last snowfall."
I gotta say, NOTHING makes this description hotter than linking a garter belt and stockings to a yeast infection.
And...
Thanks to the readers who posted about the non-Salon websites they love. Duly noted.
Salon, you have the potential to be your former awesome self. I mean that in the traditional sense of the word "awesome". Please try to only publish stuff that really makes you go, "Oh yeah, baby... more! more!"
This ain't it. Well, I'm just going on her past record and the quote above. I don't really need to read more.

WHAT?! Sean Penn DIED?

The 3 D's...

The cutoff date has to be something other than 12/31/05 since Sean Penn was mentioned and he died this year.[snip]

Um... Are we talking about the Sean Penn who was married to Madonna at one point? "I Am Sam" Sean Penn?
He's alive on the IMDB. Did I miss something?

THUD.
[Read the article: Aw]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hehehehe.... that was great! ;) (I'm a cat lover I swear! but... HA!)

Can we knight Jon Stewart?
[Read the article: 68 degrees of separation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That is all.
-
Amazing!!!
[Read the article: Faith the biped dog]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wow. Double Wow.
And I thought it was neat that my cat seasons her toy mice in her food bowl.
Maybe some of you will know where I'm coming from:
I have more respect for this dog than our President.
(I cannot believe no one else has posted about this!)

Colbert was amazing.
[Read the article: Colbert's smart bomb]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But this:
No Name Given: ... "He has a wonderful way of taking all the unseemly things in this world (homosexuality, wiretaps, unknown reasons for going to war) and making you deal with it."
So, homosexuality is right up there in your mind with the war and wiretapping huh?
It's like one of those grade school questions right? Which one of these things does not belong? Unless you were being serious?
Uh oh...

Not to gush, but...
[Read the article: CIA-ya later!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That was completely awesome.
The little Stewart dance capped it.

Hey...
[Read the article: Derby days]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is he single? ;-)

I'm not laughing.
[Read the article: Aw]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is Not Funny. More like pathetic and cruel.

Publicity suggestion
[Read the article: Coulter vs. Lauer]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think she should go on "The Daily Show." Now THAT would be interesting. I think Jon Stewart would slice, dice and chop her like a fancy mandoline, but in a "don't know you're cut till you see the blood" kinda way.

As another fat redhead...
[Read the article: Big love]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I loved this article. (But then I would have loved it as a skinny woman too.)
Bravo, Josh, for not being afraid to tell the world how you feel.
You and your lovely wife are a kick-ass couple.
-
Whoa, field day for the fat-haters!
[Read the article: Big love]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I find it really bizarre how people can get SO worked up over peoples' weight.
What is the fixation?
Where's all the venom coming from?
I tell ya, with all that's going on in the world, a long diatribe dedicated to insulting a weight-lifting Masters-holding fat woman seems a bit... tweaked.
Take a Valium and chill, dudes.

Au Contraire!
[Read the article: Aw]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Too many cat videos?! Bite your tongue, man!
I've actually called people and had them watch some of 'em over the phone with me - like the narcoleptic cat dozing out with a thud then waking up to the owner giggling. A classic!
p.s. My cat plays Fetch too... but she balances it out with Hide (eye pencils, bathroom sink stopper, jewelry.) Maybe she is stocking up to have some kind of kinky scene when I'm away, I dunno.

To Brad:
[Read the article: Coulter vs. Lauer]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Don't know if you are still reading here, but no, sorry, I'm not the Christian singer :)
But it would be amusing if she loved Jon Stewart... and disliked Ann Coulter, heh!

Is it live or is it Memorex?
[Read the article: Big love]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Pull my string... ... and I'll say the same shit over and over again. -- No Name Given"
No need to tell us. We know. Oh, we know.

And that site has a lot more of his work -- amazing stuff!

The eternal question....
[Read the article: Laughing til it hurts]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Is there something about obesity that causes people to just not care how they look, whatever the circumstance??"
-- Rob Anderson
I dunno, Rob, why don't you share your thoughts on this with us?
Sheesh.

McCormick?
[Read the article: Hire this ad team!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Eh, don't think so.

I guess weirdly awkward is the new Cool.

Ghetto vs. slum -- the throwdown.
[Read the article: Ghetto Big Mac]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Courtesy Merriam-Websters:
Ghetto:
Main Entry: 1ghet·to
Pronunciation: 'ge-(")tO
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural ghettos also ghettoes
Etymology: Italian, from Venetian dialect ghèto island where Jews were forced to live, literally, foundry (located on the island), from ghetàr to cast, from Latin jactare to throw -- more at JET
1 : a quarter of a city in which Jews were formerly required to live
2 : a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure
3 a : an isolated group (a geriatric ghetto) b : a situation that resembles a ghetto especially in conferring inferior status or limiting opportunity (the pink-collar ghetto)
Hmm... def. #2 looking pretty applicable to the 'hood to me. Of course, the Jews are #1, but let's not forget other common usage, eh?
Anyway, HILARIOUS! Fight the McMan!
(Though I am curious if McOverlord will somehow make this verboten asap, as Rob suggests.)

Fantastic.
