    Biff Usually -- wow, you're dumb.

    Sorry, folks, I know it's not couth to just berate a letter writer, but come on.

    Biff, you read Salon. You know how to use the internet. How hard is it to type "on the nose dialogue" into Google? I mean, sure, at first I thought it was lame that you'd never heard the idiom "on the nose", but then I realized maybe you're not a native English speaker and thus haven't had exposure to clichéd phrases like that. But please.

    Here, I'll save you the typing. Copy and paste:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=%22on+the+nose+dialogue%22

    I thought it was ridiculous that you asked your question in the first place. But to get all huffy and annoyed that the "community" isn't rushing to the aid of your laziness and/or stupidity really belies your true inner loser.

    Yes, Biff, everyone knew, and you are so clueless that we all thought it wasn't worth wasting time responding.

    Now, can someone please tell me why tomreedtoon reads Heather's column? And why he feels the need to toss insults out of left field when there's nothing substantive for him to criticize?

    (Biff, you know what to do now to learn what "out of left field" means.)
