I know I have some anger against entitled breeder parents. Mom or dad doesn't matter. I guess the Moms are ALWAYS with the baby so it makes her an easy target, but dads are just as at fault.

My main problem? That too many people think that they can have a baby and STILL LIVE THEIR LIVES JUST AS BEFORE!

People have forgotten that having a child and raising it properly involves a lot of sacrifice.

If you have a 6 month old, unless mom lives nearby and can take care of it, you DON'T GET TO DRAG IT OUT TO A FINE RESTURAUNT and ruin everyone else's meal with your baby's screaming.

Having a baby does not entitle you to impose yourself on everyone else. You have to accept you are going to give some of your former life up in order to raise the child properly.

As someone already mentioned, seating is so cramped, you can't even see what is on the floor, nor can you bend over to reach it.

Also I have noticed the crew comes by for trash within like 5 minutes of serving drinks, and then not again for hours. So unless you chug down your drink, you are stuck with the trash in your seat for a long period of time.

And surely there is an element of the utter hatred people hold for commercial airlines and the contempt they show for their customers, and some people probably do see leaving the mess as revenge.

I normally don't like your taste Andrew, but Strange Days is a fantastic movie, totally underrated.

Glad that I can still get my regular dose of propaganda here.

I've paid for Salon for at least 5 years, but the fact that even a cent of it goes to Ms. Paglia is enough for me to let it expire.

I found the first 4-5 seasons of ER to be truly groundbreaking TV. It and NYPD brought serious drama back to TV at a time when it was desperately lacking.

Unfortunately, like most good things, ER ploughed on well past it's prime, humping the cash cow for all it was worth. The shame of it is (much like the Simpsons to a lesser degree) a whole generation of fans of the show who don't realize how damn good it was when it was in it's prime.

I am pro gun-control with limitations, but I see no reason why someone can't check a rifle with his baggage and get it back at their destination.

If that's all he's proposing then who cares?

But do they even have Amtrak in Mississippi?

One of my all time favorites:

North By Northwest:

Jessie Royce Landis, aged 63, plays mother to

Cary Grant, aged 55

I can imagine that the big factory farming concerns actually fund these anti foie gras groups in order to distract from just how horrific conventional farming methods are.

Because fois gras is considered a delicacy of the 'elite' they can channel populist anger towards something precieved as something 'common' people don't eat and away from their own crimes.

Once it's easy and requires no technical knowledge to sit down on your sofa, click on your large television monitor and select what you want, we'll see a move away from cable. But right now that experience takes a lot of technical know-how and maintanence, and even then the selection of viewing options is limited.

Besides which, TV is already moving in the direction of the intenet. How long before everything is available via on-demand rather than scheduled programming?

I've never been impressed with the Zune, it's best feature, the wireless ability, was nerfed badly in the initial release. That and it's inability to work directly with Windows Media Player killed another benefit you'd think you'd get from an MS product.

But as another poster said, lack of competition==stagnation and higher prices.

The good news is that within 3 years the portable mp3 player will be obsolete, as most phone devices will have sufficient storage or the ability to stream audio that the idea of carrying around an extra device for music will seem archaic. And while the iPhone has a big advantage in the market right now, Apple is facing a lot of established companies with strong track records and experience in markets much more mobile-phone dominated than the US, giving consumers options and real price competition.

It was clear under Bush that his cabinet appointees and other advisors had a massive influence on policy, both because Bush was incredibly hands-off and also seemed to be willing to be led around by those surrounding him. When Obama chose Biden no one assumed that it is Biden who is going to be leading policy for the Executive Branch, while with Bush it has always been assumed that Cheney has massive influence on just that.

While some of Obama's choices have not maybe been ideal, I think a stong case can be made that Obama is not going to be like Bush in this respect.

He's surrounded himself by people who are not always going to agree with him, and he'll take their input under advisement but I don't think he's going to be a willing stooge like G.W.

The thought that a single penny of it might go to paying for Paglia's participation here makes my stomach churn. Can't Salon put the money towards finding a better columnist?

At least where I live (Manhattan, Time Warner Cable) Fox News ran adds for Fox News on CNN multiple times through the night! How does that happen? Did CNN just want the money or was this some local thing Time Warner Cable put in?

Any critical thinker will find dozens of holes with this badly conceived article. To give it front page billing should be embarrassing for Salon. To think you paid this guy for this propaganda turns my stomach.
