Is it because the child has a disability or is it just the fact that there is a child? I can not even believe that Carey printed this letter - it so so offensive. YOU are pissed - because -- someone else chose "not to wrap it up" thus -- that is getting in the way of you smoking a bowl?? Do you even understand what a selfish, disgusting pig you sound like? The fact is he didn't wrap it up - it is done, it is over and the result is a life! A child! All children are vulnerable - particuluarly those with disabilities. I can't even believe the other responses to you! I HOPE YOUR BOYFRIEND READS THIS LETTER AND REALIZES QUICKLY TO DUMP YOU BEFORE HE MAKES THE BIGGEST MISTAKE! IF YOU CARED ABOUT HIM -- REALLY AND TRULY -- YOU WOULD ACCEPT HIM AND HIS CHILD PACKAGE AND ALL! AND IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS A CHILD MAY GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR "STUDIES" YOU WOULD DISCUSS WITH HIM SPENDING SOME OF HIS SALARY ON A NANNY --- SOUNDS LIKE HE WILL NEED IT FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!!!!

I am white and I also looked at Michelle Obama's body with interest (as all females look at other females) -- but I have been somewhat interested in her because I have a remarkably similar physical type --- INCLUDING -- that "back." The big butt. The boo-tay! So just because I am white -- does that make me unattractive -- while Michelle is a goddess? NO. I really delved into your article with interest -- but it was just so racial and stereotypical, I stopped. My male friends and ex-husband have always loved my beautiful round BIG butt. I am sorry but black people do not corner the market on that. I do not deny that racism has vanished because President-Elect Obama won. But this type of writing, under the guise of humor(?) IS RACIST and divisive, and nonsense and the exact type of thing that Obama was talking about at Grant Park, and had been talking about all election. If you have a big butt you can only be beautiful if you are black? Later on you trash Jackie-O? Why? What is your point? More divisiveness. Better question -- why the hell is Salon publishing this shit - as the headline, no less -- when there are a lot more urgent and compelling issues in this world?
