WTF?
[Read the article: I was conned by JT Leroy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why is this on Salon's front page? In a time when our country is sliding into fascism and Salon should be a beacon for opposition to this historical meme, they are publishing tripe about, well, whomever or whatever this piece was about.
Talk about losing relevance in a time of need. My Premium account, given to me free during my WELL days will not be renewed unless there is a turnaround editorial-wise with Salon. Can the fluff and serve us red meat, Salon.

ms morgan's lovely comments
[Read the article: And a happy Fourth of July to you, too]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]M. Morgan is a low rent radio hate show host for KSFO in San Francisco. She's well known for her hatefull, mostly insipid rantings. This is apparently her bid to get picked up and boosted onto a national stage to a berth at Fox news. She's an idiot, pure and simple. KSFO is full of people like her 24/7 -- failed weatherman and local news readers who are capitolizing on the nation's appetite for hate and right wing red meat.

[Read the article: Laughing til it hurts]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why Are They Always Obese??<<< Well, because most people are vastly overweight. It's sad but true. Take a walk and look around. The majority of people are bulging.

Speaker Pelosi takes power in January. Until then she is still a MINORITY party leader.

1 Us journalist?
[Read the article: Rumsfeld's Iraq regret: Calling the war a "war on terror"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ahem, Sean Hannity is NOT a journalist. He is an inflated monkey-man right wing bloviator with no prior experience in the journalistic profession. He is a liar and a bully and let's face it, an asshole of epic proportions. he is NOT a journalist.

buzz Kill
[Read the article: Buzz kill]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Fortunately this isn't a completely commonplace occurrence yet. I live only a few miles from Novella, in Canyon, up in the east bay hills and have had no problems with any of my 5 hives..... yet. There was no mention of the beekeeper medicating her hive for varroa or tracheal mites, or for foul brook of wax moths? Did this happen? Mites have been killing colonies for going on 20 years and the empty hive is an end result of that problem.
The early research I've read is that this is mostly happening to commercial beekeepers with their thousands of hives that move from orchard to orchard fertilizing heavily pesticided (can that be a verb?) crops. There is however, no conclusive evidence in any one direction as of yet.
This was a lovely article about the joy of a backyard hive but hardly instructive about this burgeoning problem.

Play misty for me
[Read the article: Fox's Ann Coulter 2.0]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Look at the linked photos. She's got insane, dead eyes. Watch the movie, "Play Misty for Me" and you'll see the same dead stalker eyes on Clint's stalker. It's inevitable that someday she's going to try and give someone the chop. Hopefully, by then she'll be stalking Bill O'Reilly. Yeah, that's a good idea. Someone needs to introduce the unholy pair.

heh
[Read the article: Report: Gonzales aide resigns]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If she did nothing wrong, what is she afraid of? If there is nothing to be a fall-guy for she should have testified. She will anyway. A subpoena will be floating her way soon. Ours is a nation of laws. If she doesn't like it, too bad. Quitting her job won't get her out of whatever trouble she's in involved in.

mj is too needy
[Read the article: "Spider-Man 3"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I saw it last night and I gotta say, MJ is far too needy. Peter would be far better off hanging with the Russian Landlord's daughter.

Did they pay arnold money for this tripe
[Read the article: Why is "Sgt. Pepper" so overhyped?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Gina was maybe 6 or seven when Pepper came out and was still a junior girl scout when the 60's were dead and gone. this would e irrelevant if she had discerning ears and native intelligence and curiosity about music. As her old East Bay Express music columns proved week after week, she has no knowledge of or ability to understand music -- other than Kurt Cobain, which she fails to understand in this weak attempt.
There is a very good reason that she rarely if ever writes anymore and is back teaching diving at a high school. that is she is not a even passably good rock critic and only had here weekly column for so long because she was so universally hated -- and that sells papers as the chronicle proves with its vaziri crap week after week. salon is great for political reporting and perhaps it should bag its music section if it can do no better than Gina Arnold.

bring charges against miers and bolton
[Read the article: White House aides face contempt charges]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Speaker Pelosi MUST push for criminal contempt charges and jail time. Even if the avoider in chief will certainly resist or pardon, it will showcase even more clearly the criminal gang like approach to government these neo-fascists have brought to bear on our country.

scared!?!
[Read the article: Microsoft on Mac gains: Apple's not even close]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Scared?
Microsoft realizes they’re up against an Apple mindshare juggernaut. The tide is turning and Microsoft is about to be swept out to sea like the flotsam and jetsam that it is.<<<<<
har, you apple people are so funny. Apple made the decision to stay a tiny cult 20 some years ago and you should just deal with it instead of getting all pissy anyone mentions the small, unchanging size of your market share. If mac's were really so great, the company would be growing, yes? yet they remain a small share in a large global market, no less secure and no less functional (only more expensive). Enjoy your machine, enjoy your $600 cell phones. Fine. just quit bellyaching about how badly you are powned your competitors.

[Read the article: Karl Rove is ... right?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]America is over. Electing Hillary is not going to change anything. She'll blather and whinge fof 4 years while the neocons regroup. Time to leave this country to the uneducated mowroons. They'll get what they deserve.

[Read the article: Mind your manners online]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]make computer cost a pile of dough, bring back dialup and get rid of the easy interface of the Web. it's too easy for every drunk yahoo to log on to their broadband connection and post their rantings all over the place. make it difficult and many of the sheeple will go back to TV.

funny? not
[Read the article: Is rape off-limits for laughs?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]any subject manner can be funny, even rape (see sarah silverman), but this sketch was amateurish, clunky and looked like it was written, filmed and acted by drunk fratboys. Not funny. Not because of the subject matter but because of the poor writing, acting, production values.

buh?
[Read the article: Huckabee on the NIE: Huh?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What the hell is wrong with these Repubican candidates? how could such a clueless, ignorant batch of rubes (thompson, Guiliani, etc...) even stand a ghost of a chance of being the chief executive of our country.
