The real question is
[Read the article: Perfecting your private bits]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]not does the G spot exist; the real question is, if someone calls themselves a 'sexologist', do they still exist as a person of any credibility?
-
Don't know about Jonathan,
[Read the article: Perfecting your private bits]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]he seems like a bit of a loser to me, buying magazines to look at vaginas. But real men like pussy, and they like it hairy, and they like it to be a little musty, a little sweaty, and to taste a little salty. Shaved and perfumed? No thanks. Not interested. I want a woman, not a mail-order vinyl doll with working parts.

Who cares
[Read the article: Perfecting your private bits]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]what strippers and porn stars do? I mean really, whose existence are they central to? Not mine. They are cartoon characters. Get a grip.
-
Holsinger
[Read the article: Hot, homophobic pseudoscience]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.

OK
[Read the article: X-rated executions in Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Someone tell Paris Hilton that Tehran is a Caribbean resort ...
-
Dear Beadmaker ...
[Read the article: Her sexy T-shirt says "Kitty Not Happy" -- is that OK at work?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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 ...
-
Strawman ...
[Read the article: X-rated executions in Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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)

So when exactly
[Read the article: Imperial presidency declared null and void]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]do we get to impeach the asshole?
-
A condom for your cock-tail ?
[Read the article: A protective cover for your cocktail]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.

Hypocrisy
[Read the article: A tussle on the House Judiciary Committee]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.
-
The ever popular anonymous ..
[Read the article: A protective cover for your cocktail]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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".
-
Amazing
[Read the article: Thailand recognizes marital rape]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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?
-
It's not the word "blog",
[Read the article: Tech week in review: Nobody says "netiquette" anymore]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.
-
I'm supposed to take seriously
[Read the article: Why MySpace is for freaks and Facebook is for preps]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]someone who has a legally lowercase name? GMAFB.
-
Hopefully one day ...
[Read the article: Cheney vs. the fish: Guess who won?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Cheney's carcass will be rotting on the bank of a river. That will be a joyful day for the whole world.
-
But Glenn, you're not a blogger ...
[Read the article: Blogs and the establishment media]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you're a journalist who writes a daily column for an established online magazine. Let's be realistic about this, OK?
-
Parson Jim,
[Read the article: Single women eat babies!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you are one sad specimen of humanity. Almost as sad as the pitifully ubiquitous 'anonymous'.
-
One good reason
[Read the article: Leahy, Conyers: We'll decide if the White House is in contempt]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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 ...
-
Why?
[Read the article: Wedding trashers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does anyone think that this article was worth:
a) writing
b) publishing
c) commenting on
?????
-
Well,
[Read the article: Bring on the insurgents -- and call girls!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]at least Tobias probably knows a fair bit about protection. I'm sure those girls taught him a thing or two ...
-
Irrelevant
[Read the article: Did Clinton really do it too?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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").
-
St. Paul Hotel
[Read the article: The fine art of lying]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.
-
Unbiased?
[Read the article: The fine art of lying]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The WSJ? What planet are you living on?
-
Impeachment for Cheney is useless
[Read the article: Majority of Americans favor Cheney impeachment]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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?
-
Huh?
[Read the article: No apologies, Katie Couric!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are there people who still get their news from TV? Really?
-
Actually ...
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"neoconservative intellectual" is an oxymoron. Nobody with an actual working intellect would ever come up with the crap that these bozos do.
-
Why
[Read the article: Joe Lieberman, from his indie perch]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is Salon giving this cretin a forum? I refuse to even read the article, I don't feel like having to puke this evening.
-
If ...
[Read the article: Rolling over, again]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.
-
I presume ...
[Read the article: Alberto Gonzales resigns]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]he wants to spend more time with his family?
-
Was this article ...
[Read the article: "I'll be post-feminist in a post-patriarchy"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]intended to be post-coherent in an ironic way? Or is it just badly written?
-
Positions ...
[Read the article: What kind of conservative are you?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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 ..."
-
I liked you better apologetic and humorless ...
[Read the article: Southwest: Skimpy fares to match your miniskirt!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you would Tracy, you would.
