I guess no one has been to Haiti. While waiting in line to check my bags the counter person told us the plane left and that the airport closed at 5. It was 4:40 pm. She went inside the terminal and the lights went off. While the lights were off I was grabbed by two guys who wanted my bags. This is inside the airport. Then the lights came back on and someone just shoved me in to the terminal and closed the door behind me. The plane did not leave (thank GOD) It was the most scariest fucking things I've ever experienced. They day before an american was kidnapped and killed. The airport had closed and he was looking for a cab to take him back to his hotel.

Girl you are always going on vacation. It must be nice.

What does feeding the homeless have to do with this woman's letter? So Gary you think all homeless are black? I am not sure where I can connect the dots with your reply.
Everybody is racist in some way or another. It is just a fact of life. The real issue is how we handle it. If you have no black or latin friends then make some. Talk to them as you would any white person and you will see we are not that much different. You can begin there.

The title of the story is a joke. Islamic science is stuck in the past because they are stuck in the past. Religion will never allow anyone, including Americans, to move forward. Put your bibles and Quran and whatever other silly book you follow down and move in to the 21st century.
Heather I love the way you made that column about Tim Gunn work.
First, it seems that the dogs might be suffering as much as the owners or even more. Why get pets if you are going to leave them home to sleep and eat in their own filth. This is inhumane. It is unfair and selfish. Never mind that LW needs a therapist but that is another matter. To begin with the carpet should be cleaned as suggested by many but more importantly the animals must be freed from this mess. DO IT NOW!
I was in Puerto Rico this week. From the looks of things Hillary is the favourite. My entire family is voting for her. I'd be surprised if Obama wins. The media basically says he is unapproachable and black neither of which is a good thing in Puerto Rico.
Yet the media has dropped New Orleans like a hot Potato. This horrible mess with Bush and his idiots and New Orleans still a mess but the media just stopped.
I don't know who these women are but I felt sadness looking at the video. It is sad that these women can be so emotionally dead and still be role models.

I think the death penalty is too easy a way out for these people. I think these killers, provided they are truly guilty, should pay with the same brutalities they did on the victims but not to the point of death. I also think it should be done every two weeks. So if the victim was tortured, raped, or beaten or all of the above then all of these should be performed on the killer every two weeks. This is fair. If they would rather have the death penalty they can request it but only after a year of receiving punishment.
I don't mind spending my tax dollars on "an eye for an eye".
All I know is that if I pulled a stunt like that on my single mom she would woop my ass into a serene state of mind for sure. I tried some silly shit like with her when i was a kid and believe me no Dora in the world would save me from the hell after. I still remember it (I won't say what I did but it was along the same lines of this article) very clear and I think I was like 5. No I was not abused and Mom is very cool indeed but to this day - I won't cross her if I am wrong although when I am right she is even cooler. I am 43.
Are you fucking people stupid? Enough is Enough. Obama is much too busy to deal with this fucking bullshit. AND he did not fuck it up Roberts did. So lets move on to real issues.
I work for a large company and time and time again the IT part of new employees, meetings, and new computer anything is left for the last minute. So I am sure a IT Director somewhere in the White House was saying "Yo we need to set systems." and some asswipe said "no lets leave that for last how hard can it be?"
