I also distance myself from any hateful remarks about Senator Clinton and her loyal, democratic supporters.

Those kind of statements should be well behind us, and there was NEVER a good time for misogynist remarks of any type.

People have some hurt feelings to get over as this has been a contentious few months, but the differences between Obama and Clinton pale in comparison to the differences between either candidate and Senator McCain.

If Senator Clinton somehow pulls off a miracle and secures the nomination, I'll gladly vote for her to defeat the Republicans. She's far superior to McCain.

Like a lot of items in Broadsheet, I was ready to get behind your position 100%, then you said one thing that really turned me off.

I think this post would have been much better and far more persuasive if it didn't reek of anti-Catholicism. A whole bunch of the third of the country that's Catholic may very well agree with any criticisms you have of Church policy, but would still take offense to the snarky, mean-spirited digs. It sounds like, "well of course we can expect them to be backwards, sexist Neanderthals. After all, they're Catholic."

Feminism, at it's core, is against narrow-minded prejudice. It's for people being treated with dignity and respect. Practice it.

You know, people get married (a one-sized-fits-all contract) with an infinite variety of relationships. Some have strengths where others have weaknesses. Some relationships are perfect in bed, while others have the whole messy/neat problem solved. Some have trouble with the family budget and others have religious divides that cause stress.

Mix two independent people together and you get something random and new with things that go well and things that don't.

Why would someone get married when the sex life wasn't perfect? Because of the things in the relationship that were right! Because love makes you do things against your best interest sometimes. Because because because... a million personal, unique reasons that are about them, and not your pre-conceptions of what a marriage should be.

My own views on this is that the whole notion of "cheating" is stupid. Relationships aren't a game. There's no competitive advantage gained. It's just people meeting each other and needing it. Wanting it. Even if it's against their self-interest. People meet and have sex with new people after marriage for the same reasons they met and had sex with new people before they were married. It's a human drive. It's the need to connect. To feel wanted. Appreciated. Needed. We need affection.

We should evolve societally and personally to reduce jealousy and increase tolerance. We need to let our partners be free and make adult decisions for themselves on who/when/how they meet and get together with people. Giving your loved one their freedom won't harm you. If you love and respect them, let them experience all that which life has to offer and stop keeping them in your little cage. Jealousy is a harmful emotion - like greed or rage - that is natural, but should be mitigated and reduced as much as possible. For yourself and for your loved ones.

You need to correct this immediately, lest someone try to place their ballot in a mailbox today!

To be counted, the ballot must be RECEIVED by tonight at 8:00. Postmarks are irrelevant.

And to assume that Oregon's system is going to be "tested" simply because people around the country will be paying more attention that usual is lacking in any logical, rational foundation. Why should the collection and counting of ballots be any different than it's been for the last 12 years?!

"oh no! Oregon's Weird!" Get over it.

When is Salon going to get THE FUCK on the ball and change this entry?

... That's all I had to say.

Both notions:

*that men create strong, emotional memories of their partners and *that when a woman comes, she completely lets everything go and just experiences the pleasure

Both sound quite nice to me. Neither is wrong. Both are beautiful and complement each other perfectly.

I played hoops every single day the weather allowed - and many on which I had to dribble of 5 inches of compacted snow or play a stiff wind with my jumper...

And I never had to deal with people complaining. Maybe when we were kids, people were just more able to let kids play without whining about how awful their noise was.

Kids getting actual exercise has now become the new "problem."

Or perhaps I lived in the city and wasn't surrounded by people who fled off to the suburbs because - let's face it - they HATE living next to other people.

To the letter-writer: you suck. I hope this kid drives you to suicide for the sake of our species.

Or you know, you could listen to Cory's much more palatable advice. Or you could move to the ranch in Montana where you can hole up with your hatred of humanity and curse the mailman for getting too close to your house every day.

I've been pondering this "mistake" for several hours since I heard about it.

And I've been really giving her the benefit of the doubt.

But even if you don't think she was saying "you know, Obama could very well be shot, and I'd be the nominee, so let's just see what happens here,"

The benefit of the doubt means that she misspoke in a horrendously unfunny, potentially dangerous and utterly stupid fashion.

And that's reason enough for her to go away. Gracefully, I hope. But it's now time. And I've been advocating for her to stay in.

But if she can't get stuff like this right, why should we trust her to answer that phone at 3:00 AM?
