Americans are already so idiotically crazy about germs that they spread antiseptic, antibacterial cleaning fluids all over their damn houses, breeding super-bugs in the process. I would not have expected Salon to be dumb enough to perpetuate this nonsense.

When I piss somewhere disgusting, like a train station bathroom, I just want to get out as quickly as possible. My dick *is* clean, thank you very much, and I don't touch anything else while I'm in there.

And the reason people wash hands after food preparation is that they have likely touched *raw* meat, which can be dangerous, and you absolutely need to wash then. So yes, washing after cooking makes more sense than washing after pissing.

you would Tracy, you would.

Asking conservatives about their "position" is taking on a whole new meaning these days. It almost has to be qualified with "we're not asking about your secret sex life ..."

intended to be post-coherent in an ironic way? Or is it just badly written?

he wants to spend more time with his family?

all sixteen of those Democrats had voted no, it would have been a tied vote. If all 12 missing senators had been present and had voted party lines, it would have been a tied vote. And, of course, Cheney would have decided it. Why? Because a certain dipshit asshole *independent* from CT voted with the Republicans, yet again.

The only way to prevent this debacle would have been not to allow the vote to take place.

is Salon giving this cretin a forum? I refuse to even read the article, I don't feel like having to puke this evening.

"neoconservative intellectual" is an oxymoron. Nobody with an actual working intellect would ever come up with the crap that these bozos do.

Are there people who still get their news from TV? Really?

The only way to get rid of him is with garlic, a silver bullet, and a stake through the heart. Where is Peter Cushing when you need him most?

The WSJ? What planet are you living on?

Nice hotel. I was trapped there once, in January. It was twenty below in Minnesota, and people walked around in T-shirts, enjoying the sunshine. Meanwhile it had snowed in New York, so they canceled all the flights back to there. I spent an extra day in St. Paul. I went to visit the arts center, and ate at a nice Mexican restaurant (Yes! In St. Paul!). This is absolutely all true, every word of it. Except for the T-shirt thing.

It doesn't matter what Clinton did. This is a prime example of the "Two Wrongs make a Right" fallacy, the same one that is used to justify torture ("they did it first").

at least Tobias probably knows a fair bit about protection. I'm sure those girls taught him a thing or two ...

Does anyone think that this article was worth:

a) writing

b) publishing

c) commenting on

?????

to leave all the Bush/Cheney executive privilege nonsense in place - the next Democratic president can declare Scalia, Thomas et al to be enemy combatants and ship them off to Guantanamo. That would truly be poetic justice ...

you are one sad specimen of humanity. Almost as sad as the pitifully ubiquitous 'anonymous'.

you're a journalist who writes a daily column for an established online magazine. Let's be realistic about this, OK?

Cheney's carcass will be rotting on the bank of a river. That will be a joyful day for the whole world.

someone who has a legally lowercase name? GMAFB.

it's the people who do it. Blogging is 99% verbal diarrhea (or diarrhoea, as the Brits call it), it's lame-ass crap from people like Manjoo who can't cut it writing real articles.

Thailand and Mexico are out there making these hugely positive social changes. Here in the USA we have George f*&%ing Bush and the Banana Republicans, and every time it rains we have a power outage. Which exactly is the third world country?

says "Alcohol can act as a date rape drug", and then objects that I quote them as saying that alcohol is a date rape drug. Well, it's hard to argue with that. Or with someone who can't even figure out a fake name that's better than "anonymous".

You can do *anything* for Republican political processes, but if something should be done for Democratic political purposes, well, then it's time to scream loudly about unjust politicization of the process.

But seriously - to the person who claims that alcohol is a 'date rape drug', perhaps you have a problem with the concept of choice? It's up to the individual to decide how much they want to drink. That's rather different than imbibing a drug unknowingly, wouldn't you think? Let's at least try and treat women like grown-ups.

do we get to impeach the asshole?

Lonewolfy rants:

To all the writers who are saying that Iranian treatment of women - such as porn stars in this case - is no worse than sexism in the US ...

But of course, no-one actually said that. (If you're talking about Linney Uston's post, I'll happily fax you the dictionary entry on irony)

you might recall that there is another word for kitty that starts with a P, ends in a Y, and has USS in the middle ...

Someone tell Paris Hilton that Tehran is a Caribbean resort ...

is obviously in the closet, like most of the explicitly homophobic religious right. He just isn't getting it in the ass enough, so he lashes out in frustration, and he can't help but reveal his down and dirty little fantasies.

what strippers and porn stars do? I mean really, whose existence are they central to? Not mine. They are cartoon characters. Get a grip.
