Well, of course, Trumanbaby...
[Read the article: Poor America]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary's Washington pastor, Dr. Snyder, would say that sort of thing, being (a) at a Methodist church and (b) in Washington, D.C.
Apparently U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton listens to her pastor about as much as U. S. Senator Barack Obama listens to his.

enjoyed the essay, Garrison
[Read the article: The urge to compete]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and especially how you sneaked the eleventh verse of the ninth chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes in there without so much as a by your leave.

When a merger looks like an acquisition
[Read the article: Those Delta blues]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Northwest is getting international flights to Europe and Latin America. Delta is getting international flights to Asia and the Far East. Delta is just coming out of bankruptcy. So they'll retain the Delta name and leave the headquarters in Atlanta, but it will really be Northwest enlarged.
Same thing happened to AT&T. They used to own half of New Jersey. They they "bought" the old Southwestern Bell area. Suddenly the headquarters is in San Antonio and NJ is kaput. Don't tell me AT&T bought SW; it's the other way around. It's the tail wagging the dog. It's fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on you. It's big business as usual.
We don't need GK's crocodile tears.

I'm sure someone made this comment already
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton's big, brass ... fortitude]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm posting my comment immediately after reading Joan's words and without having seen any of the comments.
Hillary didn't propose the gas-tax holiday. John McCain did.
Hillary is a "me, too-er" or a "Janie come lately" to the party. For political gain, of course.
But I agree that she does have testicular fortitude.

okay, I managed to wade through seven pages of comments
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton's big, brass ... fortitude]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]before giving it up, and only one person, Bob @ Pacifica, mentioned that it was John McCain, not Hillary Clinton, who proposed the gas-tax holiday.

Thanks for the clarification!
[Read the article: A nation of individualists]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I knew there was something different about Barack Obama but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Of course! He's skinny and the other guys are jowly! Why didn't I see it before?
Of course, they're all the same where it really matters (and I don't want to put my finger on it).
Hillary Clinton is the one that's truly different. Not one of the guys, if you get my drift.
If you've seen one testicle, you've seen them all.

maybe Dr. Phil is right...
[Read the article: My two dads]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]when he says that children would rather be from a broken home than live in one. I did the latter, and many times I wished my Dad would just leave. He never did. Then I found out he wasn't my dad at all (long story, won't bore you). He's been dead for forty years. I'm still conflicted, and I try not to think about him, but it never works. I began to understand him a little better, though, after my own children came along.
Oh, and if your stepfather had a child with your mother, that's not a stepbrother, that's a half brother.

The Kennedys were more than just "one-time pals"
[Read the article: Gore Vidal's inconvenient truths]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I believe Gore Vidal is a first cousin or something of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis through her stepfather, Hugh Auchincloss. Blood is thicker than water. Okay, so maybe it's not exactly blood, but still.

It's your column
[Read the article: For the sake of the girl with the beautiful swing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and you can say what you please, it's a free country, you certainly don't have to check in with the likes of me, and I imagine most of the Salon readers will be giving you and each other high fives when they read what you wrote, but *please* can't you just put a sock in it from time to time?
The worst thing about your writing of late is it has become so predictable.
Give us a break, wouldja?

[Read the article: For the sake of the girl with the beautiful swing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The reason "the most liberal senator in congress" is now wanting to tap phones and emails is that there is no "far right" and "far left." The world is not flat; it is a sphere and the philosophies meet on the other side. The more two seemingly opposed political groups try to move away from each other ("farther left" or "farther right"), the closer together they actually become. They meet in dictatorship 'round back, on the other side of the sphere. Totalitarianism isn't the sole property of one group or another; it is the shared goal of extremists who think they are traveling in opposite directions. Senator Obama didn't move to the right--he moved even farther to the left.
It's all in how you look at it.

The ne plus ultra
[Read the article: The unbearable whiteness of being]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I haven't read any of the comments yet, just the interview, but I would have to say the really, really advanced white person would be the one with an indoor patio.

Memo to Joan Walsh re "Obama's deft handling of Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East" (your phrase)

SAY WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
Sincerely

So getting naked and wet and hot (not necessarily in that order) is going to fix everything, is that what you're saying?.
[Read the article: Bring back community baths]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Suspicions confirmed.
Loosey-goosey beats uptight and furious every time.

[Read the article: Bring back community baths]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Messrs. W. Bush and Cheney do not, repeat, do not have "tiny humanesses" as you term them. I have it on good authority that the phrase "shock and awe" was a response to the First Weekly Cabinet Sauna and Towel-Snapping.
