Completely overwhelmed. Needs to be completely rebuilt, at four times its current size, because it is a major tourist airport. You will feel bad, because you thought you yourself discovered Belize, so what the heck are all these other Gringoes doing here???!

However, when you return in a week or two, for your flight home, you can find a nifty, calm cafe upstairs. And after you see the country, you can appreciate this little dinky airport in this little dinky country.

Ursula, please tell Poland to delay this thing. Just tell Bush you need to hold off. And then, delay, delay, delay.

The darn anti-missles do not work. Make up an excuse. Do not make yourselves targets (possessors of anti-missles) when the anti-missles do not even work.

Fifty percent of the time (night), the sky is black. And much of the rest of the time (rainy days), the sky is gray. And sometimes (e.g. sunset, sunrise) the sky is orange, pink, even greenish, and so on.

Creepy, manipulative people say, "Support our troops!" It is like saying, "The sky is blue!"

The sky is blue much less that half the time. But every American supports all our troops, all the time... except for the manipulative Washington creeps who command the troops, and who keep saying, "Support our troops."

Please do not fall for their simple-minded bullshit. Please support our incredible, brave, magnificent troops by refusing to keep them in Iraq.

Southern Iraq used to be the marshy area where the great rivers came together, and went to the sea. But Saddam supposedly drained all the marshes, and ended millenia of marsh life in that part of Iraq.

Has the "Coalition of the Willing" restored the marshes? Is this the place where they grow all the poppies now? Maybe restore the marshes, and let the Marsh Arabs return, and maybe the poppies will get washed away.

Dear King,

I am sitting watching the Tigers play in Tampa Bay. Early in the game, some fan caught a foul fly ball that the Devil Rays' third baseman or shortstop might have caught, and it may make a difference in the game.

Here's the beef:

This fan was a middle-aged, silver-haired/fancy haircut guy in a swifty limey green golf shirt and tan pants. He had his glove with him, a huge softball-style light-orange glove.

He was sitting in the first row, behind third base, a bit out the left field line. Expensive seats. Brought his glove. And he may have changed the outcome of the game to get a piddly foul ball by non-star fill-in Tiger Senor Infante.

Twit! Six-year-olds bring their gloves! And six-year-olds have enough sense to get out the way when their third baseman needs to make a catch!

Weenie! If you want a foul ball, catch it bare-handed! But do not catch balls when your own team has a shot at them!

Finale: The Devil Rays sent two beefy security guys to escort this dope out of the park. Hooray! If the security guys were smart, they probably told him he had to leave for his own safety. If I had been there, I would have thrown my pencil at him.

Many of us are evil enough to be tired of apologizing for our leaders.

When the new World Bank nominee said,"..this agenda may involve improving basic health..," he could have been speaking of Americans, but he did not even know it.

How's yer Life Expectancy? How's yer American Ideals Expectancy? What's yer favorite country? Will the Neo-Cons send yer Social Security checks there?

No matter what the original article says, look to younger people, e.g. my nieces and nephews and their pals. (They are younger than you; I am older.)

Nothing in their world seems romantic, except their parents' and uncles' ideas and ideals. It's a whole new ballgame, even since your day. Life goes on; society changes fast.

"Feminine" and "Masculine" are both more intense and less clear now. In ten years, unless you and I take some sort of rehab classes, we will not even be able to dicuss these concepts.

We always thought that our constitution would limit the damage of fools, even after fools were elected. But, how can we change? We need to change.

Last year, I went to his office, and showed him how to tie a proper hangman's noose. He thanked me, and gave me a buck and a quarter tip.

All you other Salon Posters who have visited Cheney, please tell us about it, and we can dispense with these pesky subpoenas and official records.

These people are impervious to reason, and they have no real sense of humor. Plus, they still have a good chance to take over the USA.

These people are Fundamentalists, but they claim to speak for the whole Christian tribe. They are irrational, dangerous Authoritarians, but they claim to speak for the whole American tribe.

If they take over, we will need to find a new place to pitch our tents.

The Genesis story has great spiritual, mythic, and poetic truth. It even has a little scientific truth.

The scientific story (obviously) has great scientific truth, plus, as many posters already have pointed out, it has spiritual magnificence as well.

This is a paradox, maybe. Many of us have learned to accept paradoxes as high wisdom. But the christianists do not understand. They insist on a single unparadoxical, unambiguous, murderous truth.

They are dangerous, and they are impossible to deal with. In the past, they were a tiny minority. Now, they are a substantial minority. We need to worry about them.

Adam and Eve's kids married each other. In the next generation, some naughty angels seduced some of the grand children.

That's what you are referencing.
