involves arrests dates, jail time and impeachment hearings.

Cheeky? Please.

This is yet another reason for me not to want to renew my premium subscription when it comes up again. I question the timing of this. While so many vitally important stories are unfolding on the political front, Salon is trying to emulate Wonkette without the butt-jokes. Talk about being out of touch with a readership!

Someone mentioned how sad it was to see Salon "circling the drain" a few comments back. In the past few weeks alone it appears that not only has Salon been circling the drain, but now the drain has been identified as the vortex of vacuous commercialism. It seems like there's an identity crisis unfolding here. It appears that someone in top management (I won't name names) is attempting to assert a signature "look and feel" to this site as a testament to her own ego, rather than enhancing what the readership has come to expect from Salon. As with other corporate ventures bound for miserable failure, this one will follow a familiar path. The CEO class will have yet another financial conquest story to pad their inflated resumes with, and the rest of us will have lost yet another independent news and analysis source.

You're doing a heck of a job Brownie!

Here I was all set to read some sappy article all about Anne's miracle of faith softening the heart of the carpet guy, AND getting her 50 bucks back. I was at least hoping to read how her church guy buddy lost control and beat the snot of the carpet guy and came back with 300 bucks from the register for the sick children. But no, there's no money shots today in Jesus Land, just flowers, forgiveness and a moldy carpet to kneel on.

Forgive me lord, I need to puke.

Honestly Mr. Spencer, what does being a liberal have to do with critiquing a bad article agonizing over a misguided concept?

The Patriot Act is only the tip of the iceberg. It has truly become a chronicle of Democratic capitulation that has ultimately lead to brazen corruption, and the deaths of innocent people. While I still consider myself a Democrat and will continue to vote for party candidates, it's only a matter of time before I consider them complicit in this five year dismantling of my country.

and anyone else that wants it both ways. Stationing troops in fortified installations in Iraq won't be any deterrent to the civil war already under way.

"I have seen first-hand how Don relies upon our military commanders in the field and at the Pentagon to make decisions about how best to complete these missions..."

It's an easy process, listen to the commanders and discard what they have to say, or do exactly the opposite. That's Basic Republicanism 101. Anyone properly steeped in the Kool-Aid could do the job. Rumsfeld just adds that extra dimension of obfuscation that Bush admires but can't emulate.

The staggering incompetence and insanity running this country is finally starting to show in public. And the reality of it all is anything but funny.
