Re: Sexist piglets
[Read the article: Sexist piglets]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some of the comments were seemingly sexist but I really
think those comments were just in poor taste and maybe
not meant to be sexist. I am no fan of H. Meirs but I
think the comments really arise out of the tremendous
frustration people feel toward the Bush way of running
our country. The Bush/Cheney/Republican/radical right
wing white southern evangelical religious/Catholic way
of constantly politicizing/spinning/lying about every-
thing has an ever and rapidly growing number of Americans frustrated and angry.
The relationship between Bush and Meirs is also offensive and quite juvenile to many of us who expect
more intelligence and sophistication of these people.
Instead many and certainly I feel insulted that another
'stupidity' is being foisted on us with such typical
Bush/Republican arrogance. They just must think we are
that dumb as to not be able to see through their constant shenanigans and screw-ups'. So we/I just feel
another load of frustration and anger. As a result some
tactless statements come out similar to those directed
at Ms. Meirs.

And The Spin Goes On...
[Read the article: Ken Mehlman spins the election results]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Editor,
It will be abundantly clear when the Republican Party
and the Bush administration is serious and fully commited to reform. As long as the spin continues that
is the best indicator to the American people that they
are not going to make any changes.
When the spin stops then we the people will know that they are finally ready to begin making changes, and changes that will probably be for the good of the USA.

Usual Oil Co. bullshit
[Read the article: Oil executives testify about profits and prices -- but not under oath]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Editor,
This situation of not testifying under oath is another
perfect example that the Bush Administration/Republi-
can Party are still working solely on their own behalf.
They clearly are not working on behalf of the American
People. These people have zero patriotism for our
country and our citizens.

Secrets/Libby/Republicans/Bush/Bushies
[Read the article: Just in time for your holiday giving ...]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Editor,
Yes I am sure they will want to keep names of the contributors secret. That strategy is typical of every
one connected to the Bush Administration/Republican
Party members including those who voted for Bush in the
first and second election. They all seem very afraid to
let their true identities become known. This is the
secret society, like the bonesman, that rule the
American People.
Complete lack of transparency is the means by which
these people rule and control America.

Bunker Mentality
[Read the article: The other CIA leak case]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Editor,
I agree Frist and Hastert are also suffering from bunker
mentality, and they have it just as bad as Bush.
A small glimmer of hope, at least Reps. Shays and Graham are not letting their own bunker tendencies get
in the way of clear thinking about this issue. They
show strength of character and I applaud them. They
may be the future hope for the Republican Party. These
gentleman also seem to have some morals and some
patriotism.
Possibly Shays and Graham see their allegiance to
the truth and to America supercede their allegiance to
the Republican Party. Stay with us Shays and Graham you
seem to be headed in the right direction.
Bush is the problem with his presidency, he needs to
attend ethics class. I firmly believe that no amount
of ethics will help him as he has no morals and no
character. So he needs to get rid of Cheney and Rove.
There seems to be no one suitable to be vice president
certainly not Jeb Bush.
If I were Bush the first thing I would do after firing
the above would be to hire David Gergen. I like that
guy and the way he thinks. Secondly, I would somehow
try to get President Jimmy Carter to serve in some
advisory capacity. Mr. Carter has morals and character. Next,Bush should consider Shays and Graham for his staff if Mr. Carter and Mr. Gergen approve. If Bush can
get Brent Scowcroft or one of his proteges (not Condi) for his security advisor that would be another step in the right direction With Carter and Gergen as anchors GW can build a good to very good administration.

Vaguely Knowledgeable
[Read the article: A shed of one's own]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Editor,
Unfortunately for me I am only vaguely knowledgeable
about Garrison Keillor. This particular article really talked to my spirit,roots and origins. WOW Despite my
daily depression over Bush/Bushies/Republicans/radical
religious right white,mostly southern baptist evangelical fundamentalists who are more concerned with
their amoral disrespectful(of all others) and totally
un-American and un-patriotic viewpoints, I was rendered
almost helpless by paroxysms of uncontrollable laughter
by Garrison's article.
My soul has been healed,for today at least, and my body
is in balance(ying/yang) by Mr. Keillor's writing. His
writing is so vivid I have a burning yearning for my
own shed.
Thanks so much for carrying his articles. I look forward with great anticipation for his next article.
I am now sure I will renew my subscription to Salon.com
