  • Bush Had A Policy?

    [Read the article: The collapse of Bush's foreign policy]

    What exactly was the Bush foreign policy? I didn't know he had one. The region has been a mess for thousands of years. What makes bumble-brain Bush think he has answers for anybody over there? Bush never should have split off the country and "given" part of it away to anybody, let alone the Kurds. It was never his to give away. There is no democracy in Iraq. And there won't be democracy in Iraq. I don't care how many purple fingers they hold up for a Newsweek cover!

  • Terrorized? Oh Yeah, There Was That Too.

    Funny how after the golly gee gosh awful accounting of the visit her biggest concern is how to get more freebies. This woman's kids should be placed with someone else because she obviously lacks mature judgment skills. Kids as young as 3 years old learn to not let strangers in the house! She could've easily went to the company's store and let an employee lay-out her new kitchen on the computers.

    Who in their right mind would sit for 2 hours with someone like this whether they had kids or not? Even if one wasn't afraid, which one should've been, who would want to do business with a jerk like this or the company that hired him?

    I wouldn't want my kids playing over at her house!

  • Such Fine Examples Too!

    [Read the article: Girls just want to be born]

    And these countries are such fine examples of why this sexist crap works too! Wonder why it never caught on in the United States? Oh yeah, that's what Christianity is for here.

  • Wrong Party Slogan

    [Read the article: What the Republican Revolution has wrought]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Twenty years ago the Republican part was the I Got Mine You Get Yours party. They've evolved into the I Got Mine and I Will Do Whatever It Takes To Get Yours Too party.

  • The Other Half?

    [Read the article: Is Hillary running away with the race?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Okay...and it looks like a little more than half of the voters still prefer someone else.

  • What? Me Worry?

    [Read the article: FEMA's phony reporters]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The continued unethical and sometimes downright illegal and corrupt mentality found from the White House to the Pentagon to Bush's Cabinet to the Justice Department to Larry Craig's restrooms is just absurd! Hey, they are NEVER wrong about ANYTHING they do. Just ask them. We are sick of them. Like cockroaches frantically running for cover everytime the light comes on, Washington, D.C, needs exterminating.

    No one has done more singlehandedly to threaten democracy inn America than Bush and his merry band of morally, ethically,and legally corrupt incompetents.

  • A Republican Mean?

    [Read the article: Did Romney mean to call Osama Obama?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Never met a Republican that wasn't ready to say mean, untruthful, inaccurate, overexaggerated, and downright rude things about a Democratic contender. It's just the GOP way; they can't help themselves.

    As for Obama ready to have Al Gore be part of his cabinet: What makes him think that Al Gore is remotely interested in anything he is doing? He's just trying to capitalize on Gore's media at the moment. How sleezy is that?

  • Oh No, No, No.

    Dear Ms. My Husband is Groping My Sister:

    Tell me you didn't spend 30 minutes reading - or rereading - that confusing psycho-babble that Mr. Tennis just spent a lifetime typing up!

    This is real simple stuff, Sweetie: Any guy in his right mind does not come between his woman and her family. That's one of the "not negotiable, no way, no how, deal-breakers." And only a complete idiot, with or without blackouts, would actually try it.

    Too bad your husband didn't get a crystal clear message from you sooner about this so-called drinking problem, blackouts, infidelity, and bad behavior with people you previously trusted. It would've went something like this: "Get your ass to AA, get some counseling and deal with your issues - or get your ass out! Pick one."

    Kick this guy to the curb with the rest of the stuff a normal person would scrape off their shoe. He's worthless and has already proved it on more than one occasion. He'd obviously be happier being a single drunk. Seems like he doesn't want you to have anyone to call your own, including himself. Think about it.

    Human behavior is really not that complex. Why men do the things they do is the stuff that women usually get bogged down with trying to explain, analyze, and discuss ad nauseum with their friends. You could spend another two or three years talking about it. But when are you going to actually DO something other than talk about it?

    The name of the game is: Who owns the problem? For you to keep him after all this means YOU own it. To stay with someone who is so clearly a mess and has such a low opinion of you means you have a problem too. Now, your kids have two screwed up parents instead of one.

    Kick this guy out. If it's going to hurt, make it hurt for all the right reasons. And do it now before you have to explain to your kids why Mommy doesn't get together with her family for the Holidays anymore. And for heavens sake, after you get rid of him don't invite him to participate in family get-togethers for the sake of the kids. He's already lost the priviledge of being with your family.

    He's treated you, your kids, your family, and your friends like crap. Dump him.

  • Hit 'Em Where It Hurts!

    [Read the article: Fred Hiatt's concern over "costly litigation" for AT&T and Verizon]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Sorry, but when corporations collude with a corrupt administration and it's hired hacks in the Justice Department to undermine or destroy citizens' rights, then it seems to me that billion dollar penalties are the only way to go, including lawsuits. Nothing else gets a high-priced, pampered CEO's ass riled up quicker than the words "class action lawsuit."

    They knew it was wrong.The have no problems with selling out the country; they've been doing it for years. Respect for their customers? Oh, please! They should be punished and so should those in government who asked them to do it!
