I'm wondering why LW's squeeze became his wife's friend in the past month.
[Read the article: I thought my wife wouldn't mind if I fooled around a little]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It sounds as if LW upped the ante by inviting squeezy into his wife's life. The fact that squeezy either suggested it or was willing to play along tells me her spirit ain't all that free.
I've seen several variations on this game. Many of the moves are methods for feeling up one's girlfriend in the presence of one's wife, playing footsie under the family's dining room table during dinner, sneaking around getting quickies while the wife is caring for the child, that sort of thing. It's an ugly and unwinnable game and is meant to show the pregnant wife who is the fairest of them all.
I suspect LW is playing a sick and sordid game. I hope she catches on and rids the universe of this insect.

If the house were to begin applying standards of ethics, Jean Schmidt
[Read the article: Jean Schmidt: From calling out "cowards" to eating crow]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]would have gotten in trouble for calling Murtha a coward.
My questions are more basic than that of Bernard HP Gilroy: I'd like to know how it would be possible for the House to apply its ethics rules to someone who has not been sworn in as a member of that body. Does the House currently have any sort of ethics overseers? If I recall correctly, weren't all of the ethics committee's powers abandoned when the Republicans took over?
Before the House could begin censuring someone who is not one of its own, it would have to begin with those who have sworn to obey its rules (e.g., Jean Schmidt).

The question that ran through my mind as I read the menu:
[Read the article: Let them eat cake (or a Yule log or cookies shaped like Barney)]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How would one be able to tell the difference between the Barney and Miss Beasley cookies? Is the White House serving anatomically correct cookies?

How about John McCain, Boca?
[Read the article: Two parts hubris, one part paranoia]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Who's next? John McCain? I hear he accidentally let slip an anti-Asian slur when he was being held at the Hanoi Hilton. A man like that has no place in the White House!"
He didn't have to let slip any anti-Asian slurs. He was dropping bombs on Vietnamese villages and napalm on Vietnamese children. That's more than enough.
I'm amused by Republicans who have already forgotten the transgressions of BlowJobGate.

I'm not seeing it.
[Read the article: Obama's magic]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some of my friends are completely mesmerized by him. I wish I could feel what they're feeling, but I don't.
I think he's an excellent orator. So is Jesse Jackson and a slew of other people I would never want to see in the Oval Office. Orators don't impress me, except for their ability to speak well.
I'm taking a wait and see attitude.

You've been wrong all along, Walter. Nothing new about that.
[Read the article: Why Clinton voters will come back to the fold]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have been disgusted all along by Walter Shapiro's coverage of the primary campaign. He has no clue what all of us disenfranchised women will do come Election Day and he needs to stfu.
Shapiro has chosen to remain silent on Obama's position on FISA. That's very telling.
Now that Obama has shown us what he's really made of, I think I'll sit out the elections this year. The big choice? Would you prefer a white Bush clone or a black Bush clone?
I am not impressed.
