Bring on the Cultural Wars
[Read the article: Plan B decision called "unusual"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is just one more reason why no one should vote for any Republican who doesn't condemn Jerry Falwell by name. We need to rid the government of all Christian ultra-conservatives and those who suck up to them. I'm talking to you, Karl, and you too, George.

Hiring Illegals for Fun and Profit
[Read the article: Gulf Coast slaves]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No wonder George doesn't want to crack down on illegal immigration. Illegal workers can't complain when you rip them off. The big business boys who own George love that type of labor force. Just one more reason to vote against George and all his cronies.

Revolt of the Moderates
[Read the article: When 7,000 miles just isn't far enough]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]George W. is quickly losing the confidence of all the Republicans with any sense or integrity. Soon he'll only be left with mindless hacks, born again bigots and corporate criminals. There are a lot of them, but not yet a working majority. But don't worry. Karl is working on a plan to scare everybody into submission. Too bad he can't work on it full time. He also has to work on a plan to stay out of jail.

Bill O'Reilly's Enemies
[Read the article: Blacklisted by Bill O'Reilly? Not yet, but we've got our fingers crossed]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. But in Bill the Loofah Boy's case, I'll make an exception. Anyone on Bill's blacklist can't be all bad.
-
List Envy
[Read the article: Blacklisted by Bill O'Reilly? Not yet, but we've got our fingers crossed]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Remember the good old days when we used the Catholic church's index of forbidden books as our reading list? And a little later, when anyone who was anyone was on Richard Nixon's enemies list? Now we have Bill O'Reilly. While it would be cool to be Bill's enemy, it's not quite like being condemned by the church or by Nixon. Those two were worthy villains, like the Illuminati or Richard III. Bill is more like a pockmarked Krusty the Klown. Not quite the same cachet.

Rupert's Evil Empire
[Read the article: Blacklisted by Bill O'Reilly? Not yet, but we've got our fingers crossed]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bill isn't the real problem. The real problem is Rupert Murdoch. Everything Murdoch touches turns to crud. Fox News is crud, and so is every other Fox network, and every Murdoch newspaper. The morons at Fox have even botched TV coverage of the World Series. Don't just boycott Bill. Think big. Boycott everything Rupert the Ugly has touched with his ugly, scabby paws.

Ted the Toadie
[Read the article: Big Oil, Big Lies]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No wonder Ted Stevens didn't want his lords and masters, the oil CEOs, sworn in when they testified before the Senate. He knew his masters couldn't tell the truth and he knew that non one would feed little Ted if his masters were sent to jail?
-
High Profile Losers
[Read the article: Katie: Better off with Tom?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Katie sure knows how to pick high profile losers. When she finally dumps Tom, who will she come up with? An even older loser? Donald Trump, Bill O'Reilly, Strom Thurmond Oh, yeah, Thurmond's dead. That makes him the least bad of that litter. Just prop him up in the corner and dust him once in a while.

Here's a New Crusade for You, Billy
[Read the article: How the secular humanist grinch didn't steal Christmas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Although I am a card carrying agnostic and my favorite philosopher is David Hume, I really don't care whether the heirs to Sam Walton try to shove Christmas down the throats of anyone desperate enough to shop in one of their stores. I do want to keep loofahs out of the hands of angry, ugly, middle-aged perverts like Bill. Hey, Bill, maybe your next crusade should be against me and my war against the misuse of loofahs.

Crybabies for Christ
[Read the article: How the secular humanist grinch didn't steal Christmas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think American Christians are taking one verse of the New Testament out of context. While the verse does say that"Jesus wept," I do not think that means that Christians should cry and moan all the time.
-
Under Large Rocks
[Read the article: Who's the "coward" now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Jean Schmidt? Where do the Republicans find these people?
-
Scalia's Self-Serving Nonsense
[Read the article: Scalia: Al Gore made me do it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Scalia abandoned his strict constructionist, states rights principles when sticking to his principles might keep a Republican from being elected president. Scalia is a cheap Republican hack, masquerading as a Supreme Court justice, and anyone who claims that he has any integrity is a liar or a fool.
-
Ted Stevens Cries Again
[Read the article: Rerouting the bridges to nowhere]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is Ted Stevens the biggest crybaby on Capitol Hill? The race is tough, but Ted is probably the winner. Whether it's trying to keep his oil executive masters from lying or trying to control Ted's pork-fest giveaways, everyone is out to get poor little Teddie. But Teddie will fix them. He'll hold his breath until he turns blue, and then they'll be sorry.

Attack and then Whine
[Read the article: Jean Schmidt, victim]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There are a lot of little yappy dogs who love to bark, snarl and show their teeth. When they are challenged, they immediately start whining and complaining. There is a place for little, yappy dogs with big mouths and tiny brains, but Congress is not that place.
-
Truly Indecent
[Read the article: Idiot boxers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey, Ted, do you know what's truly indecent? Corporate criminals and the Congressional toadies who serve and protect them.
-
Book Recommendation
[Read the article: If the dealer makes a deal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Note to Tom Delay: Here's a book you should read really soon.
Prison Etiquette: The Convict's Compendium of Useful Information (Paperback) by Philip Metres (Foreword), Holley R. Cantine (Editor), Dachine Rainer (Editor), Lowell Naeve (Illustrator)

Unfair Request
[Read the article: Republicans don't flip-flop, do they?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Katherine Harris had to give back all the money she received from corporate criminals and corrupt politicians, she'd have to hold a bake sale to finance her next campaign.
-
Remember King Lear
[Read the article: The stay-at-home mystique]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Putting families first sounds nice, but, as Shakespeare knew, family stories are usually tragedies.
-
The Wisdom of Clarence
[Read the article: The stay-at-home mystique]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As if we needed more proof that Clarence Darrow was right. "The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children."
-
Denial
[Read the article: All quiet on the gay western front]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Sandy Dixon doesn't know any gay cowboys, she either doesn't get out much or she makes a determined effort to stay out of closets. As Bob Dylan would say, "You can't look at much, can you, Sandy?"
-
Why Not Bill?
[Read the article: John Bolton to U.N. high commissioner: Shut up]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Given John Bolton's nasty demeanor and his contempt for anyone who disagrees with his position, why didn't George go all the way and appoint Bill O'Reilly as U.N. ambassador? Rush Limbaugh for drug czar? Rupert Murdoch for FCC commissioner? Jerry Falwell for attorney general? The mind boggles and the stomach sickens.
