How many crimes can Bush commit before he's removed?
[Read the article: The deception Bush can't spin]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He's made Nixon look like a beloved statesman. The mountain of crimes and misdeeds is so large that's is becoming difficult to keep track of all of them. And the best that Congress has come up with is a motion to "censure" him..? As if he'd kicked a puppy??
Can us plebs file a motion or lawsuit to force our alleged representatives to take action?
1. Get the FUCK out of Iraq
2. Thoroughly investigate 9/11/01 -- the official story is CRAP
3. Examine the 2004 Diebold e-voting scam -- how is it that virtually no one sees this as a dire threat to what passes for democracy..?
Are you all on Disney chemicals? Are you all asleep?

Anti-hippie sentiment every bit as evil as anti-Semitism.
[Read the article: I Like to Watch]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Inspired by the recent suppression of the recent Mearsheimer and Walt Harvard study on the Jewish lobby, I *insist* that the term "hippie" be replace by "orthodox post-WWII bohemian." Fire-dancing and hackey-sack are to be considered cultural statements. Drum circles are sacred.
Havrilesky ought to be summarily dismissed for her obvious anti-orthodox post-WWII bohemian sentiments. It's astounding she could get this kind of biased claptrap published in this country.
That kind of shallow post-yuppie thinking is disturbing.

Terrific review
[Read the article: The original mad scientist]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hope the book is half as good...

OPEN YOUR EYES. CUT OFF THE FUNDING.
[Read the article: Is the "Israel lobby" distorting America's Mideast policies?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When a spooky mole like Dick Cheney appears before an AIPAC assembly and swears to defend I$rael before US interests, something is very clearly wrong. The Jewish/Zionist/PNAC/AIPAC "Fourth arm of government" needs to be SEVERED and the wound cauterized.
History will mock the US for having I$rael lead us by a ring in our nose. End this abusive relationship dramatically and permanently.
-
"Turkey shoot"? You mean the US slaughter of retreating Iraqis..?
[Read the article: Attacking Iran: Are they nuts?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That George W. Bush would even publicly consider using nuclear weapons ought to be cause enough to take steps to remove him from office FOR REASONS OF INSANITY.

Ohio is profoundly corrupt
[Read the article: Running scared in Ohio]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Have you read ANY of the facts involved in the 2004 Diebold voting debacle? There is NO POINT is discussing anything other than vote fraud -- if the votes aren't counted accurately, there's no point in any sort of debate.
The Feds ought to descend on Ohio and take over operation of the state while an army of special prosecutors unravels each and every Buckeye State scandal. There are plenty of them. MAJOR corruption, going to the highest levels of government.

Think back... '73 Mideast war... with whom did we side..?
[Read the article: Bush's bogus boogeyman]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Any recognition..? Connecting any dots..? No?
Let's go back further... '47... did we have *any* enemies in the Mideast..? No?
Explain to me how an oil-dependent country chooses a path that results in its economy being negatively affected... what has I$rael *ever* done for the US?
Machine-gunning US sailors trying to board life rafts does NOT count!

Cindy Sheehan. Stephen Colbert. Two names in five years..??
[Read the article: Colbert's smart bomb]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do they really have us smothered in bullshit too deep to escape from..? I guess I could add Mearsheimer & Walt to that short list, but they barely suggested raising an eyebrow and were buried.
Russ Feingold suggested censure, which is as pussified a move as can be imagined. What a little halfwit cunt. Bush didn't kick a puppy. Bush committed treason. The press is voluntarily paralyzed. The Congress is full of spineless organisms.
Stephen Colbert. I'd never heard of him, and now I feel that his profile ought to be on our money since he's a bona fide American hero IMHO.
-
Might I suggest..?
[Read the article: Hipster rebel punk outsiders -- 99 cents a dozen]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1. A couple of big glasses of cold water
2. A nice big healthy meal
3. A good night's sleep
You'll feel better and not worry about whether you're special enough. Don't watch your feet while you're walking. Try not to be so grumpy, don't bring everybody down. Make the best of it. Take a deep breath and enjoy being alive.

Washington Post? Isn't that a newspaper..?
[Read the article: Cohen: Colbert was rude, and his defenders are dangerous]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I like to buy a newspaper a couple of times each year. I use two sheets of newsprint to light my barbecue.
Who's this whiny little bitch complaining about Colbert's bull's-eye performance? Some irrelevant, dust-covered "journalist"? One of the legions who have sat there like lumps as Bush rapes America? Well, fuck him, then. He's on the wrong side of the fence.

Move him out
[Read the article: My husband went to jail for pot -- and now he's smoking again!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Get your own place if he won't budge. That ought to take care of your problem.
I'd love to indulge in a full-blown rant on the sour prohibitionist crowd ("IT'S ILLEGAL!"), but what's the point?
Freedom -- Liberty
Leave me alone
to find my own way home
A free country. Right. Right. Whatever you say, boss.

What about Gail King, then..?
[Read the article: The Fix]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is SHE gay..?
-
Ahem
[Read the article: I Like to Watch]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1. You watch too much television
2. Marriage is a trap for guys. It saves time in the long run to just pile up twenty thousand dollars and set fire to it.
-
Election year bullshit
[Read the article: A phased withdrawal from Iraq?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]US troop levels were just increased to 130,000 -- does that sound like a "withdrawal" or "drawdown" or whatever doublespeak term feels like using this week. Does that sound to you like they intend to leave Iraq anytime soon?
-
How long will the US support and fund I$rael's genocide..?
[Read the article: No to Israeli unilateralism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I$rael couldn't be half the monster nation it has been without endless, bottomless US monetary support. Why are we facilitating these creeps..? GOD WILL NOT STRIKE DOWN THE USA IF WE STOP FUNDING I$RAEL.
-
They sell rubber hoses to beat kids with..?
[Read the article: Spare the quarter-inch plumbing supply line, spoil the child]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Isn't that some sort of bizarre fetish? I wouldn't beat an animal and I certainly wouldn't dream of hitting my kids. This story is astounding.
Although where I might say to one of my kids who was not acting very well in public "If you choose to continue to act that way, you will lose your video game/television/telephone privileges" that tack may not work in a Christian(tm) home where there probably IS nothing of interest to a kid, really. "Do your chores and come in for Bible study, Caleb."

Erm...
[Read the article: "X-Men: The Last Stand"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I couldn't believe that a sequel was produced, I'm incredulous that a THIRD film is now opening. Movies based on comic books are fundamentally flawed.
-
I don't want to read another word about Jennifer Aniston.
[Read the article: "The Break-Up"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not just on Salon.com, but anywhere. She's a television actress and her fifteen minutes were over thirty minutes back. If she appears nude in a film, kindly post a JPG or two. Otherwise, please stop writing about her. There are other actresses out there.
