PROBABLY GOT A DEAL FOR SOMETHING
[Read the article: Report: Richardson to endorse Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Richardson probably got himself a deal there somewhere with Obama because it really makes no sense for him to endorse Obama at this point in time. And all this chatter, mostly from the Obama-rama supporters that superdelegates should support their constituency's preferences for the nomination just went down the drain too, didn't it? lol

OH GIVE 'EM A BREAK
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They are the GOP. They cannot help themselves at being ugly and saying ugly things. It's what they were raised on and all.

M-B OLD HAT
[Read the article: Brigg it on]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Nobody except the employers who keep spending money on them thinks that these tools actually result in any increase in productivity, harmony in the work place, or anything else.
It's like reading a Cosmo article from 30 years ago:What Your Personality Reveals. Yeah, that's about how long M-B has been around it seems.
But, hey, it breaks up another otherwise dull day at doing absolutely nothing of any real significance. Back in the Colonial Days of America people did not sit around filling out their M-B papers. They worked. They made things. They were busy building their lives and this country.
Hmmm.

ANOTHER MYOPIC PERSPECTIVE
[Read the article: Of condoms, Clinton, Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When are young adults going to start standing up for themselves? It seems to me that even before the so-called dark ages of the Bush administration, there was just way too much sex going on among younger and younger kids. Now that 25% are estimated to have an STD, will we require Hollywood to put their clothes back on, CNN to stop glorifying Brittany and Paris, and host of other gutter tactics perpetuated by corporate greed to sell somebody something?
Got news for you, Rahul, this didn't start with Bush. Check out the stats on kids having kids without the benefit of marriage and see what THAT says about how far we've dropped down the chain.
The kids have been taught at school for years what causes pregnancy, what causes diseases, and how to prevent it. Their ignorance has obviously reached epidemic stages. Don't ask which candidates are going to cure something that no President has any real power to cure, correct, stop, or otherwise prevent. Ask where the hell are their parents - BOTH OF THEM - and what the hell were THEY thinking?
Another glorious round of funding with a new name suited for 2008 and a hip-hop music theme is not prevention. It's just another round of funding to line yet another pocket somewhere.

IT NEEDS AN OVERHAUL
[Read the article: The Democrats' anti-momentum]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The way Democrats choose a Democratic nominee needs a bit of an overhaul for sure, however, the existing process is getting it done even if it doesn't suit every media talking head's time line for starting to destroy the November candidates.
Michigan and Florida knew the rules last year and chose to ignore them. Of course, they had no way of knowing then that they would have a real say in the race this year. Still, they knew the rules and disenfranchised their own voters and delegates - not the DNC as they now want to place their blame. I do find it interesting that Obama - just so freakin' concerned about everyone - doesn't want a do-over and we know that's born of political ambition. He's already proving what an untrustworthy politician he has become.
The super delegates have a say in this no matter what the Obama people say about how it will divide the party, disenfranchise (oops! there's that accusation again from their mouths) voters who have already voted, etc. Many of these are elected officials who understand how serious our problems are in our country. Many have been in the wilderness for years with GOP-controlled state legislatures and/or Congress. I would imagine that they might want a little more meat on the bone if I were them. If they choose Clinton, so be it.

TIME TO MOVE BACK INTO...
[Read the article: My boyfriend won't give me his apartment key]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]your own place. Your paying the bills there, right? Why not enjoy it again like you used to before you became a fixture at this guy's place?
Men can be really selfish about having you there when they want you there and not there when they don't want you. Don't you see the "what's wrong with this picture?" part of your story? You are moving in - and out- dragging your stuff there - dragging your stuff back - sitting and waiting - sitting and waiting.
You don't need a key to his place. You need a map back to your own place in the world. Go back home. Tell him you're fixing dinner on Tuesday night and he should come over - and, oh yeah, bring a change of clothes if he needs one for the next day.
