• OLYMPIC COMMITTEE SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

  [Read the article: Torching the Olympics]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  How was a country like China selected for the Olympics anyway? Did the Olympic Committee think a few new skyscrappers means that all is forgotten where this country's despicable human rights record is concerned? Absolutely no one should be fooled for one minute that China has come into the 21st Century.

  From the raw pollution of it's air and water, ignorant birth laws, severe human rights violatons, and constant spying on the U.S., why would anyone in their right mind even want to travel there, much less give the country credibility with the Olympics. Do people realize that the reason there are no homeless people in China's big cities is BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE THERE? And do people know that those lowly workers building the big new cities are subjected to employers that often DO NOT PAY THEM AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND THEY HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE? Yeah, suck on that with your Starbucks' double creamed mocha what-evah!

  I, for one, will NOT be watching any of the Olympics this year. That will be my silent protest against the corporate greed, the deadly deceitful and manipulative Chinese government, and the morally corrupt Olympic Committee.

  And for all those athelets who will whine and say, "it's about the sportsmanship not politics...blah...blah...blah." No, it isn't. It's about the freakin' money.

• HERE'S THE DEAL...

  [Read the article: No, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be winning]

  if Barack Obama cannot win Ohio, a state that reflects the national average of just about everything, then he cannot win the General Election. I don't care how many small states he wins. Ask Gore - ask Kerry.

  You guys all sit there with your calculators talking a good game about "the real world," but I live in the so-called "real world" and it is not voting for Barack Obama. Maybe it won't vote for Hillary Clinton either. And that's MY point.

  You are pissing up yet another rope, dude.

• MAN, THE NEGATIVE ENERGY...

  [Read the article: How can I get a writing job?]

  that you put off is so overwhelming that I would change seats anywhere that you would be seated next to me mistaking you for a big, black crow!

  It's like you are shooting for the entire enchalada and have conveniently dismissed the appetizers first. Is there something in between "perfect life" and "shitty life?"

  Maybe you could consider a part-time, free lance situation in order to build a portfolio. Hell, write instructions manuals if you have to for the toy industry - they could use the literary assistance if you've ever seen instructions manuals.

• PILE ON, PILE ON...

  [Read the article: Examining the reaction to Clinton's hospital story]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  when a woman receives such hateful, vengeful, negative and evil reaction as has Hillary Clinton during her Presidential campaign, then it must mean she's doing something right! Everyone in America knows that is simply does not pay to be a smart, intelligent, and ambitious woman. We like our women petite, passive, and pretty until the age of about 43, then we want them GONE!

  ...the Republican Party is a sham - everyone knows that.

  Second, does anyone actually watch Chris Matthews anymore except a bunch of screaming college kids trying to get their face on TV during "Hardball Does Another Boring College Week?"

  Third, Barck Obama is no Tiger Woods - that's an insult to Tiger Woods! Woods has proven skills, experience, and talent.
