anything to groups that help take care of injured or disabled vets, this is what a few minutes of googling came up with:

(Pls note: I did not vet any of these organizations in any way. And the two links at the bottom of the list make it very clear that there are some questionable players in the field, and caution is warranted. Pls do your own due diligence before contributing anything to anyone.)

And Salon? It's not terribly helpful when you delete posts that generated such a strong response from so many people. I understand the point about culling abusive personal attacks. But perhaps a better solution might be to delete the offensive personal material, but to leave everything else by way of content?

Why should you do vicious people the favor of not letting the world see how vile they are? If there are people out there who are so offensive as to warrant censorship, aren't those exactly the people we should know about, and be ready and able to deal with?

who take the difficult step to walk away from one of the most addictive substances known.

One other thing that might help is regular, rigorous, and long-lasting workouts of sufficient intensity and duration to bring on the endorphin rush -- a highly effective way to fight depression, anxiety, etc.

"a lesbian nightclub she occasionally frequented"

You cannot "frequent" anyplace "occasionally." It's one or the other.

Hey, but at least you didn't call her "slatternly."

These people are like a planned-obsolescence program for humor -- how can we ever again tell the old lawyer joke (Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: Check to see if their lips are moving.) when the Bushists live that reality for us daily?

The trolls who write in every week to tell us that Tom Tomorrow has "phoned it in again" do have a bit of a point -- whatever lunacy anyone can produce by way of satire is inevitably outdone by the actual behaviors of the Bushists.

I see Philip Seymour Hoffman -- he should be beyond brilliant.

Will Ferrell reprises his classic W, of course.

For Cheney, I'm not sure Gene Hackman is quite evil enough -- maybe Robert Loggia?

And do we think Whoopi has it in her to do Condi justice (as it were)?
