Our Beautiful Minds
[Read the article: He was against body counts before he was for them]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it's, not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch him suffer." Barbara Bush, ABC's "Good Morning America" March 18, 2003.
And this war is working out quite well for the people who count bodies, isn't it?
Perhaps Neal Bush can "design" some computer software, "BodiesNBags", for keeping count of the dead and Barbara can donate money to the Iraqi people, with the stipulation that it only be used to pyrchase Neal's software program.

Not So Fast, Inspector
[Read the article: The president, the preacher and the prostitute]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"And if he's right that there is a special place in hell for gay fornicators and drug abusers -- not to mention for liars and charlatans -- I guess he knows where he's headed."
Before we crow about the guy being self-damned to hell for eternity, we'd better check to see if there's any evidence. A guy calls a radio show, claims to be a prostitute and claims to be the gay lover of a prominent evangelical. Mmm...come on. Since when do we take talk radio at its word?
While I wouldn't mind seeing another of the multimillionaires from the religious-industrial complex taken down a few pegs for sexual hypocrisy, I'm gonna need to see some proof ... or at least something a little more persuasive than a 59 year old guy calling a radio station and making a claim.

Somebody Is Unfamiliar With Sacha Baron Cohen
[Read the article: "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Would he appear in black face, hamboning and speaking in jive?"
Mmmmm....I think you need to watch HBO or get a hold of Sacha Baron Cohen's DVD of the first two seasons of "Da Ali G Show."
Booyakasha -- Respect!

You're Kidding, Right?
[Read the article: Equality before God]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"For instance, would we have the little puns like "headed, ahem" if this concerned a heterosexual relationship?"
Are you under the age of 16? I can't think of any other reason you would have not noticed the constant punning during the very heterosexual Clinton/Lewinsky episode except that you were too young to know what anyone was talking about from 1998-2000.

Somebody Else Is Using My Screen Name
[Read the article: "I'm guilty of sexual immorality," Haggard tells his flock]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why is someone allowed to use my Salon screen name when posting letters? I didn't write the letter under this subject which is signed "Username." I didn't know Salon allowed different people to use the same name. I'm a Premium Subscriber and thought that the name and password I chose would be mine only. Granted, it's not the most creative name, but I originally subscribed at something like 2 AM, so it was expedient.
