Comics 2-panel teasers
[Read the article: Tom the Dancing Bug]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You'd think that at least they'd provide all the panels to premium subscribers. Or is there a super-premium scheme coming along, where for just a few cents more per day...

Elizabeth's Road...and the expected commentary
[Read the article: The road goes on for John and Elizabeth]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now that it's been disclosed that Elizabeth's cancer has returned, I wonder how long it will take Ann Coulter, Fox 'News' and whatsis name, the drug-addicted right-wing talk show host, to work nasty and lying comments about this development into their broadcasts.
Thank goodness they have another Michael J. Fox to make fun of and smear.
I can see Ann now, huddled with her writers, just trying to figure out how to make someone's cancer fight a laughingstock.
Surely none of you think they are above this.

A State Religion - Romney's Surge
[Read the article: Maybe they saw the president on the front lines]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is perhaps one of the most glaring statements in how the extreme, religious right is breaking down the separation of church and state (not that the constitution means much to them anyway). To equate serving in your church to serving in the armed forces is an obscene, exclusionary (are Muslims in the U.S. considered "veterans" if they served in their mosque?) excuse why Romney's children are cowards. Ooh, they rode a bike around Danville, California (or some other safe community) trying to convert those that, unfortunately, are still alive and therefore have a choice in whether they'd like to convert (as opposed to the Mormon practice of "baptising" dead people to fill their quotas), and we're to think they are risking their lives to keep America free? Sorry, but the only word that occurs to me is "bullshit", and makes me wonder what clowns voted for Romney in ANY election.
Maybe he should be forced to read the constitution, which I'll bet he's never, ever read top to bottom. Any takers on that bet?

But Shrub said...
[Read the article: Cheney vs. the fish: Guess who won?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And I really believed the current occupant when he said "The man and the fish can coexist."
Gosh, how could I have been so silly?
Looks like Shrub was wrong again...and again...and again...

Needs a Swift kick in the....
[Read the article: U.S. to merge with Mexico and Canada?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...but seriously, just like Corsi's Swift Boat "revelations", this is also just more sci-fi from this author. Look for his upcoming exposes about what a valid alternative to reality Scientology is, and how aliens from another world once reached Earth...gripping stuff by a master of fantasy!

Very sad.
[Read the article: Robert Novak's very sad story]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Where'd my box of tissues go? I really teared up reading this, I feel so bad that conservatives can't work in the media anymore, and that liberals are running all the good journalistic....wait a minute, I've heard this crap before.
Haven't we all? I guess all the liberals in the media are the ones that forced him into writing lies; no, I admit it, it's me, I'm the liberal that forced him to write lies and to disclose the name of a CIA agent, I'm the one that owns all the liberal media and we must love terrorists because we don't support outing CIA agents, and...wait, I have heard this crap before. In fact, for the past 6 or so years I've heard nothing but crap from these people.
If only the liberals really did run the media, we wouldn't have to listen to the likes of Novak anymore.
How sad he can't be sleepover buddies with Karl any more, but here I am being a weepy liberal again!

Goodbye and good riddance
[Read the article: Karl Rove to resign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As one of the "mob" to whom Rove refers (I guess all the citizens of the U.S. are just "the mob" to Rove), I can only point out that if this is how he refers to his fellow citizens, then it is no surprize that he's worked against them (us!) for the past 6 1/2 years.
It doesn't take him destroying the constitution, or trying to set up an imperial presidency, that gives him away; it's the obvious contempt that he feels for the American people that shows us his true colors as an agent working against the interests of our country.
His ceaseless efforts to bring down this country and turn it into a dictatorship should be rewarded properly: with investigations, indictments, and an eventual verdict of "treason against the United States of America".

Thought Police: Other thoughts
[Read the article: We are the Thought Police]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]An excellent article.
There were a couple of points that I had hoped Michael would have raised, but perhaps they will be the focus of a future article.
On the topic of how Americans want cozy, friendly news, and don't want to see "bad" images of the Iraq fiasco: If we did have "in your face" news reporting, the Iraq story could have a different ending; only through constant TV images during the Vietnam war were enough people motivated to say "enough". The positive side of reporting negative news is that people get riled up to the point where they do take action. Instead of putting our collective heads in the sand, we should be watching what is happening.
On another note, I was surprised that the author did not mention the huge amount of pressure the administration and it's proxies are bringing to bear on the news agencies who do want to provide real news coverage. More and more journalists are coming forward to tell their stories of intimidation and pressure to suppress their stories.
Perhaps Mr. Massing can cover these items in an upcoming article.

McCain's Response
[Read the article: Sure, it rhymes with "witch," but it's actually spelled R-E-S-P-E-C-T]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It actually says nothing about McCain, who truly seems to have been caught off-guard by the question.
It does speak volumes about how the Republican mind works, pure and simple. Okay, just simple.

Republicans make Fox News sick?
[Read the article: Republicans make Fox News sick]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm not surprized. They make me sick, too.
