An article about race and you interview four white guys? Not just four white guys but four white guys with similar backgrounds. This is the problem with liberals nowadays; we pretend to be open to other opinions and view points but would really rather listen to an over-educated white guy tell us what those opinions are.

Is anyone else tired of Salon publishing stories about yuppies and their kids? Why do these people think their kids are interesting to anyone else?

I want to write that Salon is better than this, but that's not true. Too often Salon feels it's okay to be the liberal counterpoint to Rush or the right-wing blogs. We don't need that. We want well-written, intelligent, insightful and researched articles from a liberal point-of-view. Silly sexist drivel like this isn't worth the bandwidth it takes to download it.

Am I in the minority in thinking that the videographer comes off really jerky? I guess his point is McCain supporters are ignorant, uniformed and bigoted. I could go to an Obama rally, tape some footage and edit it to get the same results. I don't like John McCain's policies, and I believe him to be a man of low character. I'm willing to debate this with his supporters anytime. What's the point, though, of trying to make his supporters look like a bunch of yahoos? Sure, some of them are, but many others are just regular people like me who have a different opinion. Political debate should be about trying to change opinions, and not immature name-calling and labeling.

With all that oatmeal your kid is going to have the healthiest colon in the 4th grade!

My live-in girlfriend is a nurse in Portland, Oregon and was recently called off (told not to come in) for three consecutive 12-hour shifts. The staffing person told her on the second occasion that the census was down from the normal 115 to 85 patients. The (not so) funny thing is that we had just recently been thanking our lucky stars that she works in a "recession-proof" industry.

Palin/Bachman 2012!

Please, God, make this happen.

This is what happens when hot chicks get fat. They lose their marbles.

I'm not certain I'm right on this (but that won't stop me from sharing my opinion), but maybe it's a black thing. We (I'm black as the ace of spades) tend to be much more public with our grief. I've attended enough funerals of family and family of my white friends to notice a difference. At services for my grandmother, mother, sister and uncles, the anguish was palpable. Even a reserved negro like myself had to wail. Such public displays may seem odd, but for me it was cathartic.

This theory might be bullshit, but maybe we should accept the fact that people grieve in different ways. Is it right to question their motives without cause?

How much money do I have to give Salon to keep Aaron Traister and his nonsense off of it? His pieces are always poorly written and never ring true -- or even relevant.
