Good grief
[Read the article: Abortion, shmashmortion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She doesn't consider adoption (on-screen) either. Does that make her anti-orphanage? Anti-foster parent? She wants to get her man involved. Does it make her anti-single mom?
I'm very much in favor of a woman's right to private medical counsel, and if that includes terminating pregnancy, within a reasonable time frame, it's really none of my business.
This is a career woman, priveleged, with a well paying job and a family to support her. The idea that she must seriously consider abortion to satisfy some radical feminist notion of gender politics, is truly sickening, disgusting, and frightening.
If she had considered it, I'd not have been offended. I probably would have been a little turned off by what it says about our disposable, consumerist society, that the woman seriously considers it but basically only needs one because the baby would be slightly inconvenient for her.
I think it is just this sort of rectal-cognitive analysis that will spell D-O-O-M for abortion rights in this country. I hope Dana Stevens feels great about that.
I'll leave you with a quote from Chris Rock. "Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's to be done! I can learn to drive a car with my feet, but that don't make it a good fucking idea!"

Shooter fun
[Read the article: Joe Klein's stirring defense of Lewis Libby]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]quote:
Excuse me while I laugh out loud. Can I presume then, that you are hot on the trail of those criminals that leaked national defense secrets, multiple occassions to the NY Times? No? Gosh, what a surprise!
When the government is breaking the law, exposing the lawbreaking is known as "whistleblowing." It's protected under the law, even if the information is classified.
Otherwise, the Nixon administration would have classified Watergate and called it a day.
Nice try though. It's only the 2nd or 6th time I've seen that bogus argument from you, which is waaaayyyy less than you repeat most of your bogus arguments, even after they've been completely and utterly discredited, in ways a grade schooler of below average intelligence could understand.

Sure, hold 'em in contempt of congress
[Read the article: Let them eat cake]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Guess who tries the case? I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with shmonshmalez.

Scarier than you think
[Read the article: Subpoenas for former White House officials]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A contempt of congress charge would be prosecuted by the.... you guessed it, (in)Justice Department. The administration surely knows this, and that's why they are stonewalling, because they can get away with it, having replaced the DOJ mostly with hacks with "law" degrees ripped directly out of the bible. There are also a whole lot of members of the Federalist Society, a radical "think" tank that believes essentially in a King, and wouldn't mind a King George II one little tiny bit.
But what happens when this administration leaves office? What if the next administration is Democratic, or at the least Republican with some slight sense of ethics?
Suddenly that contempt charge gets resurrected. Suddenly a lot of things start happening differently, and investigations start leading where Bush and acolytes don't want them to go. It's a completely incredible notion that they haven't thought this through. I think they have.
Are you starting to get the drift? I'd make sure your passport is up to date.

Oh ya?
[Read the article: X-rated executions in Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Religious porn title: "Thy rod and thy staff, they get me arrested."
You requested it. It's really not funny at all.
What do you want to bet that women are more harshly treated under the law?
Sickening.

You're right anonymous
[Read the article: X-rated executions in Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I really dislike Paris Hilton.
My dislike for Hilton has absolutely nothing to do with her being "sexual," and everything to do with her being a spoiled brat that constantly rubs our noses in what a spoiled brat she is. If she was just a spoiled brat, and kept it to herself, no problem. She is in the public eye of her own free will.
It's the elite entitlement, with no consideration for others that I dislike about her. That's also why I dislike Bush (among other reasons). So don't say it's gender related either.

Ha ha anonymous
[Read the article: X-rated executions in Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We don't hate paris because she did a porn shoot. Hell, a lot of us probably enjoyed it.
It's the complete disregard that she has for others that we hate her for. The drunk driving on a suspended license, which was suspended for drunk driving, when she is rich enough to hire a cab or a fucking helicopter if she wants to, that's why she needs to do time. She could have killed folks because she wants to drive drunk, just because she wants to, and because mommy can make sure she doesn't go to jail.
You can try to make it about the sex video all you want and it doesn't change anything. It's not.
Nicole, is that you? Paris, is that you, somehow posting from prison?

But were they photographed wearing bikinis?
[Read the article: Scheduled stoning stopped in Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Because that would be really bad!

Chicken Little and Foxy Loxy
[Read the article: One online predator per child?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have a perfect solution. We should have online activists pose as children in third world countries and lure these predators to the children's villages, so they can have a conversation with Chris Hansen about why they bought that ticket.
That will solve everything.
