People revel in their own stupidity and ignorance
[Read the article: "Is our children learning?"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In the land of the blind, is the one-eyed man king? No, of course not, he is hunted down and his one eye is torn out of its socket for his own good.
I'm reconsidering sobriety -- perhaps the only way to live contentedly in the USA is to be permanently intoxicated to the point where thought is not an option. Just stand there drooling with a made-in-China plastic flag in your hand as the 4th of July parade rolls by...

How was Ceasar killed?
[Read the article: Cheney's way]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Did the members of the Roman Senate not all give him a stab apiece? Why would this not work today? Cheney is clearly out of control and a genuine danger to what's left of the Republic.

Why won't the Dems act?
[Read the article: The imperial vice presidency]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't expect my local fascist Representative to act, but why do I keep hearing from Feinstein and Boxer that "impeachment is off the table" -- if someone was in my home, stealing my things and hurting my kids, would I want to just wait until their term expired or their got tired of violating my home and my family?
What the fuck is going on? I'm becoming even more angry with the Democrats than I already was with the Republicans. I'd like to see Washington DC destroyed by a God-sent meteorite, Biblical-style. They're ALL shit. Is this why you never see a politician in a public setting? Do they fear being ripped to shreds by angry citizens? They ought to!

Spineless Dems
[Read the article: White House refuses to comply with subpoenas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are not doing anything. How much more of a mountain of crimes would you need to see from the Branch-of-government-formerly-known-as-the-Executive to be spurred into action?
-
Why be afraid of the public?
[Read the article: Quote of the Day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They want to see you, Alberto. They want to get close to you and express their affection and respect for you with both hands. Come closer, Alberto. We have something we want to give you. Would you prefer hemp or nylon rope?

I watch Rachael Ray
[Read the article: Boob tube]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]because she comes on right before Alton Brown's Good Eats. Without what cleavage she can muster her show would be completely uninteresting. If I watch Giada, it's with the sound off. Nice boobs.

Israel wants US troops between Iran and Israel
[Read the article: Lieberman calls for more patience on Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So when they violate international law (again) and sucker-punch Iran, US troops will be between Iran and Israel. Tell me I'm wrong.
Lieberman is a piece of shit.

You've forgotten something
[Read the article: Ah, yes, but he's still got 570 days to go]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One day before Bush43 is supposed to leave office, suppose a "national emergency" were to occur. Well, he'd just HAVE to remain in office, now, wouldn't he? One more false-flag "terror" operation and Bush43 can assume de facto dictatorial powers.

You waited in line for TEN HOURS?
[Read the article: The iPhone: A quick first look]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ouch. Was that time billable?
-
The USA is Paris Hilton
[Read the article: So what does that rug say now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Vacuous, self-absorbed, stupid, rich, arrogant... what's not to like? HEY! DO YOU HAVE OIL? WE WANT IT! WE'RE COMIN' IN!
Psst Bush43 -- get rid of Cheney and watch your approval rating skyrocket up to 29%...
-
What the fuck..?
[Read the article: Libby spared the clink]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Isn't this what that Scientologist Sheriff in LA did with Paris Hilton's jail sentence not long ago to great disapproval?
Is this what Bush43 hopes will be his own fate? "They'll let me go because, gee whiz, I'm one of the guys and all..."
-
What did Tommy Chong serve?
[Read the article: Libby spared the clink]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And that was a plea bargain to spare his family time. But Scooter helps obfuscate the origins of our illegal, immoral rape and occupation of Iraq and he skates?
-
Was this the guy that was convicted of rape?
[Read the article: Israel's Olmert rises from the rubble]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No? Some other Israeli leader? Not this guy, right? This isn't the Israeli leader that was convicted of rape? That was some other Israeli leader, yes? Not Olmert. But it was the Israeli PRESIDENT that was convicted of rape, is that it? He was the one convicted of rape. Not Olmert.
Did you read much about the Israeli PRESIDENT's being convicted of rape?
-
Off the table?
[Read the article: Hard guy Giuliani goes soft on Libby]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Cheney first. Then Bush43. What are they waiting for?
-
There's something about Hillary
[Read the article: What people don't know about Hillary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That makes even Ghouliani look appealing in comparison. Hillary Clinton? Nothing doing -- no way.

Odd search results for Katsav
[Read the article: Israel's Olmert rises from the rubble]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your search - Katsav rape source:cnn - did not match any documents.
Your search - Katsav rape source:new_york_times - did not match any documents.
I guess they figured it wasn't news. Were there not enough sex slaves in Israel for Katsav to empty himself into? He had to rape a woman in his official residence? Nice.
It's especially odd given that the Israeli press was all over Clinton's dalliance. Which, I believe, was consensual.
Olmert's just a war criminal. Nothing to see here, folks, move along. It's of no consequence that Hamas is the popular government of Palestine. Abbas is easier to work with, so...

The Democrats will roll over and play dead. Again.
[Read the article: A bipartisan end to the war? Fat chance]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do they think that no one is paying attention? Support the troops! Get them out of Iraq! NOW, not incrementally to help your re-election chances. It's like discussing managing a rape -- should we slow down? Partially withdraw? NO, it was and is a crime. GET. OUT. NOW.

It's good to see that Israel and Zionists don't have undue influence
[Read the article: Columbia to be punished for hosting the new Hitler enemy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]here in America.

Disgraceful behavior
[Read the article: My questions for President Ahmadinejad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But at least The Lobby won't be able to find fault with him. Particularly egregious was Bollinger's parroting of the "wiped off the map" lie -- that mistranslation has been thoroughly debunked.
It was enlightening to note which media outlets were the most rabid about Ahmadinejad's visit. Clearly, the myth of Zionist influence over the media is... um, er... well, it was enlightening.
When does Bollinger insult Olmert and quiz him about his rape charges, corruption, nuclear arsenal, genocidal campaign, et cetera? Can't wait!
-
Why is it a crime to question the Holocaust?
[Read the article: What Ahmadinejad said]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Certainly any group that had suffered a genocidal campaign would want all existing records made public and accessible to researchers in order to document the scope and scale of the atrocities. The recently released Nazi-era records ought to be made fully available via the Internet so that the true number of victims can be completely understood.
And Iran is indeed completely within its rights to pursue nuclear power. Read the treaty. No crime has been committed, no treaty has been broken.
What, then, is all the excitement about regarding Iran, other than Rove/Bush43/Cheney wanting to distract from their hideous misadventure in Iraq? Or is it Israel pushing the PNAC element in Washington to further usurp established governments in the region?
