LISTEN, YOU LINT LICKER...
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you can pontificate all you want about anyone ELSE in sports, but you best get off your pompous high horse, Mister, when it comes to Brett Farve! If Brett wants to lament in public about how he would feel if he got called up by the Packers to help out, then by goddamn, he's earned it! KNowing Brett Favre, did you really think retirement would be an easy thing for him? OH, HELL NO!
I cannot recall any NFL player that has captured my attention and admiration every Sunday for the last upteen years the way Brett Favre has. Farve's playing style, his competitiveness, his commitment to his team, and yes, even his risk-averse personality epitomized everything that this country ought to be about - and once was! But you wouldn't know about any of THAT.
So, you take that sarcastic act and shove it where the sun don't shine, Snob! What else you got to fill your sorry column with? Another MLB steriod story? Or how about yet another NBA paternity player-goes-to-jail case? You'll be reporting on Brittany taking up badminton next.

40 YEARS AGO...
[Read the article: Story Minute]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]we tried to heighten awareness about over-populating the earth. Seems American teenage unmarried girls who breed with a different father every other year, second and third wives and husbands,the Third World, and Catholics did not get the memo.

ODDLY HYPOCRITICAL
[Read the article: Tattooed and proudly flabby on the catwalk]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I thought this would be an article about stick chicks on the runway and what the fashion culture does to womens' images. I was wrong. It was an article about yet another man.
"But the article focuses on one particularly promising model -- a Kenyan transsexual male-to-female --"
Well hell yes, it does! Because anything having to do with defining women these days simply HAS TO HAVE A MAN IN ORDER TO DO IT! It seems you cannot turn on a TV today and not find some gay guy trying to be my new best friend, Chas!
And I, for one am tired of these gay (or whatever!) guys telling me how to dress, shop, design, make up my face, cut my hair, and what shoes to wear! Since when did women relinquish their own definitions of themselves to bunch of wannabes?
So, it is fitting that this article "focuses" on yet another man when talking about a fashion alternative. Ugh!

RELIGOUS RIGHT DEAD?
[Read the article: Huckabee to follow in Robertson's footsteps?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hardly. I'm sure, like Mothra, they are just in hibernation awaiting to be thawed. If you say "creationism" enought times in America, it automatically becomes "science." Or did you forget all about that part?

THEN BURN, BABY, BURN!
[Read the article: Cleric: Unveiled women burn men to ash]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What's new here? Men, in their feeble efforts to have it all ways, have been blaming women forever for their inability to control their own behavior. Remember when (not too very long ago) a rape trial here in America found defense attorneys entering, or threatening to call, into evidence every male the victim ever had sex with as "proof" that her sexuality was the reason she was raped?
Well, let the men who cannot deal with unveiled women burn - especially in hell.

MCCAIN SOLD OUT...
[Read the article: One candidate, two camps, one direction]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]to get the Party's nomination years ago when he licked Bush's boots and the Swiftboaters' asses to get John Kerry to pull that TV spot showing him calling W a liar - which W was liar. Kerry should've told him to go to hell, that Bush and the neo-cons can wreck his reputation if he lets them, but they are not going to wreck Kerry's. Unfortunately, Kerry, like McCain, turned out to be a wuss too.

HISTORY?
[Read the article: "History will not judge this kindly"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hell, the present won't judge it kindly! These guys are so out of touch and so hung up on themselves that they actually think it will take 50 years to be found out?

LAW AND ORDER - FOR EVERYONE ELSE
[Read the article: "Deferred prosecutions" clear way for corporate crimes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The GOP never did intend punishment for themselves or their protected and connected friends, so don't get your panties in a bunch thinking they have somehow changed.
Law and order to the GOP meant lining somebody's pockets, getting votes through fear (Willie Horton for starters), and building more privatized jails to hold more convicted citizens accused of more victimless crimes (drug use and possession) with stiffer penalities, mandatory sentencing, and 3-strikes-no-matter-what-you're-out.
Does anyone really think that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should not have been impeached for lying about Iraq - just for starters? And did anyone actually think some ethical Republican in the corrupt Republican-controlled Congress would actually lead the charge?

REAL SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS
[Read the article: About that "significant progress"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]will be made when a Democratic president stops this madness, gives the Iraqi government a deadline to get it's sorry act together, and brings our troops home.
What's more, until we have enough money to pay-off all sides forever, there will never be "significant progress" in any part of the Middle East. They don't want "significant progress" and I'm tired of paying through the nose for "significant progress."
Spend American money on Americans - for a change. WOW! Now, that would be "significant progress."

A WHOLE WOPPING 16%?
[Read the article: Rep. Jackie Speier comes out swinging]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wow! I mean, that's just great for a 200+ year old Western democratic nation, don't ya think?
Women are a little more than 1/2 of the population, vote more than males do, make the majority of the purchasing decisons, and still cannot get passed letting a man make all these life and death decisions about her standard of living.
I don't know about the rest of them, but another choice between yet two more males this November is hardly earth-shattering and I don't care what color they are!
Incredible.

OH YEAH, HERE'S ONE FOR YA...
[Read the article: Who put this feminism in my porno?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Q: Did you hear about the new DivorceD Barbie?
A. She comes with all Ken's things.

PESKY CONGRESS AT IT AGAIN!
[Read the article: Beware the ninja Prius]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Damn them guys. They are so fast taking care of this problem that my guess is that there is some perk in it for the Prius industry - and not out of compassion for blind people at all.
My guess is that is has to do with the exhaust systems. Could they act this quickly on a real energy policy for this country?
No? Oh well, a girl has to ask but a man's gotta do what a man's paid to do for another man. Right?
