Lots of hostility towards Ms. Dickerson
[Read the article: Not in my backyard, either]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What's up with that? Did YOU write an article for salon.com detailing YOUR experiences living next door to a Katrina refugee family..? No, you did not.
A trash-filled yard and a filthy house are pathetic statements.
Want to dig deeper..? Who imported the slaves? Records certainly still exist. Reparations? Repatriation. Bill the descendants of the slave traders. When slaves were being imported (and why was there no outcry against something so hideous during alleged modern times?), did no one consider what this would mean over time?
Come on, let's dig a little and examine all the details of the slave trade. Who, what, where, why and when.

Genocide? What genocide..?
[Read the article: Nation building]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, right... only systematic violence against Jews is considered "genocide"... I forgot.
Why not give European Jewry half of Germany instead of a chunk of hte Middle East? Dumb ideas produce dumb results.

It's his problem, not yours
[Read the article: My boyfriend freaked out because I had a threesome]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He's not able to get over it -- I mean, HE asked, yes? Perhaps you can be friends in ten or fifteen years if he ever grows up. In the meantime, change your phone number and try and meet some gentlemen who are at least dry behind the ears.
What's the difference between Treasury Bonds and men..?
Treasury Bonds mature.

The abyss awaits
[Read the article: Behind Bush's "new way forward"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Bush needs to define what has already been accomplished in Iraq as victory. Then we have a big party once everyone gets home.
Possibly re-installing Mr. Hussein as leader of Iraq with apologies would be a bright idea -- he seemed to have a Tito-like influence.
Everyone's happy (aside from the quarter-million innocent dead who never did jack fucking shit to us), we send Bush and Cheney out to play golf a lot over the next two years.
In a few centuries the rest of the world may forget what we did.
Alternately..? An overwhelmed and psychologically shattered Dubya order his hive-like military to nuke some poor city somewhere. Or Israel detonates one of its nuclear weapons in an American city and Bush decides to enforce martial law -- CNN would have every taxpayer believing it was those darn Arab terrorists again.
Merry Christmas. Live in peace.

She sounds nuts
[Read the article: Sexless and loving it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, a "lifelong goal" of hers has been to sink her claws into some poor schmuck..? No doubt that debacle will be detailed in another book. And another three-page salon.com article.
Do we care about this woman? She sounds like a nut. If she does snare a man, please devote coverage to her wedding, because it's a certainty she'll be a Bridezilla of biblical proportions.
"A better Christian"..? As I mentioned in the subject line, she sounds nut.

Take your blinders off and try it again, Walter
[Read the article: The man who ended our Nixon nightmare]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It hasn't been *that* long -- don't you remember? Agnew resigned in disgrace. Nixon hand-picked some fucking sock-puppet tool (THAT WOULD BE FORD) whose job was to pardon Nixon. Period. And that's what he did.
Just like he served on the Warren Commission (a commission is what the government puts forth when it wants to cover something up), Ford was a USEFUL TOOL. I'm visualizing a seldom-used wrench.
He was unelected -- no votes had been cast for him by the public as a Vice-Presidential candidate. I didn't realize he'd played football in his youth, but that explains quite a bit about what a good "team player" he was.
Recall the koan:
Scarecrow in the field
How unaware! How useful!
Gerald Ford served fascistic elements in post-WWII America.

When is Dubya's hanging..?
[Read the article: Saddam: The death of a dictator]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He's killed far more Iraqi civilians than Hussein was ever accused of killing. So let's see some "regime change" here in the USA and see some "justice" done.
I still favor the idea of waterboarding Cheney in order to ascertain just what his depth of foreknowledge regarding 9/11/01 was. The precedent has been established. And then we hang him after a mock trial. The precendent, again, has already been established.
And once again, Israel has achieved something it wanted with US help. Iraq is in shambles and Hussein is dead.

Bush Is Great: did Yahoo shutting down its message boards hurt you..?
[Read the article: Saddam: The death of a dictator]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Fucking troll.

"National Day of Mourning"..? For WHAT..?
[Read the article: The man who ended our Nixon nightmare]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can excuse the mental duffle bag Ford was for serving on the Warren Commission, even look the other way for pardoning Nixon... but not being able to ship something at the local Post Office has REALLY pissed me off.
Gerald R. Ford was a fucking fascist tool. Dumb as kapok. Maybe even dumb enough to not realize how he was USED.
Fuck all Republicans.

Not to complain, but...
[Read the article: Big breasts for dummies]

Get over it. Not news.
There are, however, a few rather important news stories which I'd certain rather read about on salon.com than a freaking trend in mannequins, you know what I mean..?
I'd like to read about our beady-eyed inbred asshole President being IMPEACHED. By individual citizens following the Jefferson's Manual approach, if need be.
There hasn't been a political story worth reading on salon.com since Israel's US-funded slaughter of Christian civilians in south Lebanon. And Mel Gibson knocked that story off the front page, didn't it..?
Come on, guys... I'm paying for this. Mannequins..? Ask me if I give a fuck. Honestly.
