$400 haircut
[Read the article: Edwards vs. Coulter, Clinton vs. Edwards]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary's people would be very foolish to attack Edwards on the basis of his $400 haircut. Does anybody remember the Bill Clinton fiasco, keeping a plane waiting, for his over $200 haircut in California a few years ago?

Don't enable him any longer...
[Read the article: My son is almost 30 and won't leave home]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I dated a seemingly normal guy when I was in my early 30's for a few months. We went our separate ways. After a bad marriage on my part, I looked him up and found he was living with his mother, and had been for most of the last 15 years. I eventually married him and everytime the going got rough, he went home to mother. After we divorced, he moved back to mother again and is still there 5 years later. The man is now in his early 60's. He lived independently maybe 15 years out of his entire adult life, 11 of which were in his first marriage. Mom had a bad marriage and she and her son are very close. I resent the fact that it was too easy for him to run home and believe he and his family are both responsible for his failure to fully develop as a human being. There is such a thing as being too close and too comfortable in the old roles, to the extent that you stop normal growth. The letterwriter better be careful or she will end up with a 60 year old son who never left the nest.

The worst is past for Britney
[Read the article: Hit her, baby, one more time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sarah Silverman went too far, as have many of the "haters" who have posted here and elsewhere. When that happens, the general public tends to get fed up with this degree of cruelty and begins to actively root for the underdog. I think Britney will find most people are on her side and are wishing her the very best! PS...She looks great. She could have chosen a more flattering costume, but she is certainly not fat. She is a long, long way from being "obese".

Great Advice, Cary
[Read the article: Will my family drag us down?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The years I spent living near my aging parents and getting to know them as an adult, were great. Taking my mom into my home to spend her last few months, instead of letting her go to a nursing home, was the best decision of my life. There are many twists and turns to life. The LW is trying to plan his life out without a hitch, and it never works that way. We do not control life to the extent he envisions. The best thing to do is to be open to the possibility that you too may find the part of yourself you like the best because of what you did for someone else. My dad always said that how you treat your parents comes back to you in how your children treat you. Denver is a great city with excellent hospitals and universities. So what if you'd get an apartment, then a house, then maybe a bigger house? It's not as if everyone is going to need to live with you immediately. But, when they did, you'd be ready, with a big enough home and a big enough heart. You won't regret it.

Hillary
[Read the article: The politics of hope]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In my opinion, there is no level too low for Hillary to sink before the election. We are just starting to see the real Hillary, who will do absolutely anything to get elected. When Bill was president, they tried to convince us it wasn't a "co-presidency". Now, she tells us she is qualified because it was. In any case, haven't we had enough of these two people, who are very smart, but very unprincipled? Politics is a dirty business, but surely we can do better than electing this woman. Let us ensure that the other Dems are not crushed by her.

Dear Anonymous
[Read the article: All I need for Christmas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Don't blow your brains out. The real event of Christmas Garrison writes about is the realization of God, who does not protect us from tragedy, illness, suffering or death, but does give us the strength to get through it. I hope you will be comforted in knowing that you are never really alone.

from a Baby Boomer
[Read the article: Heartbreak ahead for Hillary Clinton?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have never identified with the Clintons. I felt our country began to lose it's way when JFK was assassinated and I have not felt we had a candidate who could inspire us since then, until Obama. He transends race as well as party. It is great that we might once again have a chance to have a leader we can believe in. He can make us want to be a better country.
All Hillary does is snipe. We are all sick to death of it.

Why Hillary Wants to Be President
[Read the article: No makeover for Hillary -- yet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't buy the notion that it's because she cares deeply about this country. She cares deeply about power, the power she would share with Bill, as President. It's as if power would make up to her for how marginalized she has been in her life, by virtue of her awful marriage as well as her having forsaken her ideals in favor of triangulation. Those two factors were her choice. She made pragmatic choices that have ruined her life, but she is the one who made them. This country does not owe her anything.

Sexism, Racism and How Counterproductive They Are
[Read the article: The comeback chick]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Voting for Hillary because she is a woman is as offensive and wrong as voting for Obama because he is black. As a 59 year old woman, I hoped we had come farther than this. I am ashamed of the women who voted for Hillary out of sympathy or anger. The only way to achieve equality is to judge and be judged not by color or gender, but by the quality and integrity of the individual inside. I am more sure than ever that Obama has that quality and integrity we so desperately need in our next President.
