It's finally time for Bush to answer questions about Libby
[Read the article: It's finally time for Bush to answer questions about Libby]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have no access to cable, so I listen to the major 3 and Fox for news on my TV in the am. If I hear one more representative tell me that the Libby question is not playing anywhere outside the "beltway", I'm just going to bezerk. I swear to god i am....

Thanks, Dee Davis
[Read the article: Why don't those hillbillies like Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]After all the back-and-forth about how things in real life are complicated (as opposed to simple, just the way we like 'em); and how there can be angels and assholes in the same community, sometimes w/ similar (perhaps identical)agendas; and big tents and exclusive tents, on and on -- we're still floundering in the ancient morass we crated as we grew. We are a nation of 300+ million people. Getting a consensus in a group of more than 5 of us is sometimes a challenge. There are no "blocks". What helps me sometimes hurts my neighbor and vice versa. Yet, there ARE viable methods of governing, all of which take the work of engaging ourselves in unfamiliar and sometimes uncomfortable dialogues. The time to be doctrinaire is way long gone. It's time to trust ourselves and demand of our leaders something better. Maybe we'll get it.

The Bridge
[Read the article: Who killed the literary critic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There are no gatekeepers on either end of the bridge. The generations who are comfortable with access to more information than has ever before been available are percolating to the "in-charge" level. I love books, magazines, newspapers, dictionaries, atlases, etc. -- all those wonderful print things you can open in your lap and replace on your bookshelf. Hold on to 'em -- they're about to become an important part of our past. If we refuse to acknowledge the changes we're facing, we are doomed. Maybe it would be a good idea for all (including those "great critics" we've trusted to guide us)to consider the radical changes we need in reading, teaching and doing business before we become obsolete. The changes are occurring too rapidly to be debated.

Avi, if that is indeed your real name....
[Read the article: Confessions of an RNC security guard]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]briefly thought I was in Open Salon...
waaaay too witty for Saturday morning
my favorite line:
"If you include the Evangelicals, nearly every person at the RNC Headquarters has a voice whispering in his ear."
Made my Saturday, Dude, and thanks heaps.
