A recount would be a waste of time
[Read the article: A recount in Virginia?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A recount in a state that does not require voter verified paper ballots (vvpb)would be a waste of time. Without vvpb there is absolutely no way to verify the votes that are cast using electronic voting machines -- machines that are being used in a high percentage of the state. Just like the attorney general's race in Virginia two years ago which was just as close, the public will never be able to know for certain whether Webb or Allen won this race. My preference would be for Webb to be the legitimate winner, but doubts will linger.

Not a prude
[Read the article: Fondling Stephen Colbert]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No, you're not a prude. When she initially sat on her lap, it was mildly funny given, but the longer she persisted the less humorous it was. As others have indicated, I too do not believe Colbert knew what she was going to do. And, as someone else has observed I think he was conflicted -- conflicted by his sense of decency and commitment to his wife and family (which he protects fiercely) against his need to stay in character. He was totally caught off-guard. While Jane Fonda may have aged gracefully and well physically, emotionally she's still stuck in her adolescent phase where she needs to be provocative and be the center of attention.

Not funny
[Read the article: Red State Update: "Saw Great White before they caught fire"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There was nothing about this segment that was funny. There's nothing that says they have to come out with something each week, particularly if it's something as bad as this.
