  • Fifi Trixibell

    [Read the article: A girl named Metallica]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    was allowed by the British. She's the daughter of Sir Bob Geldorf and the late Paula Yates. There may be knockoff Fifi Trixibells in the States but I've never run across one.

  • What Sunk Gore in 2000

    [Read the article: Al Gore, anyone?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Was selecting Joe Lieberman as his running mate. That was enough to turn me Green that year and would be enough for me to continue to questions his judgement.

  • Hypocracy in Action

    [Read the article: Quote of the Day]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What I found skeevy was the essay she posted on "Neglected Children" in which she ladens a large portion of blame on divorce and calls for more stringant divorce laws then on her photo page she has photos of her dad, whom she speaks of in present tense, and her stepfather! No pictures of her mother though. So you see, it's not Monica's fault! It's a permissive society that condones easy divorce and remarriage laws that caused Monica to turn out as poorly as she has.

  • More Serious than That

    [Read the article: A very expensive neocon love affair]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    This woman is more than some high paid hooker in a business suit. From a 2005 London Daily Mail news story titled "Will British Divorcee Cost 'Wolfie' His Job?"

    "Extraordinarily, they claim she played a key role in pushing the 61-year-old Pentagon official into the Iraq War. And the row comes amid claims that Wolfowitz's wife Clare once warned George Bush of the threat to national security any infidelity by her husband could cause."

    Photo and Bio

    My but the chickens are flying slowly these days.

  • Limbaugh Attacking Kids

    [Read the article: Is Rush Limbaugh next?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The college aged women of Rutgers are women, not kids, and I remember Rush saying some pretty vile things about Chelsea Clinton being the "family dog" when Chelsea was twelve and her father was being sworn into office.

  • I Don't think the MSM Sides with Cho

    [Read the article: "Heartily ashamed"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    But according to his last book, Dinesh D'Souza would.

  • Duel Use Biology

    [Read the article: Breast-feeding at Ronald McDonald House]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    "many people seem to forget that breasts, like penises are dual use biology"

    Yeah, but when you see a guy trying to feed a baby with a penis you'd better call the police.

  • Judicia Bypass Indiana

    [Read the article: Federal abortion ban roundup]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Here in Indiana, home of the infamous Becky Bell case, only one judge hears judicial bypass motions. This judge is notoriously anti-choice and has never once granted a judicial bypass waiver.

    In other news, I will never forget the day that the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled that I am a second class citizen whose fertility needs to be controlled by the State. I feel like Dred Scott circa 1857 rather than a Free and Full Citizen circa 2007.

  • Amputating a Healthy Limb Isn't Illegal

    [Read the article: Take to the phones!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Unless you happen to live in Scotland but most doctors won't do it because of the Hippocratic Oath which drives some people with Body Integrity Identity to great extremes to get rid of the unwanted limb

  • Birth Before 35

    [Read the article: Breast cancer isn't linked to abortion]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It seems to me that just because a woman has had an abortion doesn't mean that she won't have a full term pregnancy at a later date before the age of 35 or that she hasn't already had a full term pregnancy before having an abortion.

  • Maybe Some of These Men

    [Read the article: Should there be an Office on Men's Health?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Who are so envious of women and all our freedoms might ought to look into gender reassignment surgery if they really feel so persecuted because of their penis.

  • Gee, Remember When

    [Read the article: But first, I'll be buying some shoes]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Conservatives were banging shoes and yelling, "The President is Not Above the Law" during the Paula "Seen My Cooch in Penthouse?" Jones' "sexual harrassment" lawsuit. Well, now the shoe's in the ther hand. Condi Rice is not above the law. George W. Bush is not above the law. The whole criminal gang of them should be handed over to the Hague and tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The only one I would cut any slack to would be Colin Powell who I think should take Rudolph Hess's place in a newly reconstructed Spandau Prison. The rest should be hanged higher than Mussolini's Mistress.

  • Studio 60 vs. 30 Rock

    [Read the article: Finale wrap-up: "30 Rock"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I started watching Studio 60 from the start and really, really, wanted to like it but couldn't. I stopped watching about four or five episodes from the end of the season after I realized I was finding The White Rapper Show on MTV far more entertaining and plausible.

    30 Rock was a show I came to much later but it's become must see tv. It is one of the few shows, along with the Colbert Report, that consistently makes me laugh out loud. It does make up a little bit for the late, great, Arrested Development though it does nothing for the Angel shaped hole in my soul.

  • I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman

    [Read the article: Next time, try Domino's]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Mr. Tobias, we're all adaults here and know exactly what part of your body you were getting "massaged." Next time stick with the Registered Massage Therapists instead of call girls for that swollen, aching, muscle execpt, opps, RMTs don't do those kind of massages!

  • The Indiana Experience

    [Read the article: Karl Rove's big election-fraud hoax]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Here in Indiana, Gov. Mitch Daniels, GW Bush's former OMB Director and an ardent believer in outsourcing state workers into low wage, non-union jobs and selling long term State assets for short term gain, not only pushed through voter ID requirements he also closed 19 DMV offices at the same time making it even harder for people in those counties to get the ID they need to vote. I truly felt intimidated by being forced to show ID to vote. It reminded me of all we were taught was bad about Soviet Russia. Show me your papers, comrade.
