tomreedtoon crawls out of the woodwork to crap on Heather.

I too was surprised at the lack of drama, fake or otherwise, this season. I actually found myself longing for the trainwreck that is Janice Dickinson. I also felt bad for Renee with all the talk about how old she looked, but she really does look more like a catalog vs. high fashion model. Heather you cracked me up about the extra-large fake eyelashes on Miss Tyra. They were crazy!

"has anyone noticed that his diary extends to August of this year? It's fiction, people."

He wrote the dates in "European" format, not U.S. 09/01/07 is January 9, 2007.

Mr. Kurth's piece was enlightening. I only wish he had tightened up the first page as he really comes off like a jackass and the smugness detracts from the real meat of the article.

It seemed incredibly exploitative of people's misery, particularly the scenes from Africa. It's a good cause and knowing the plight of people in Africa and the U.S. is valuable, but the way it was carried out left me with a sick feeling. The Carrie Underwood video was particularly cringe-worthy and tacky. We ended up fast fowarding (thank goodness for DVRs) though a lot of it.

Good god, man, do us and yourself a favor and stop reading ILTW so that you can give your festering hatred of HH a break.

How old are you boys? Fine, you think Heather's a hack. But, you wank about her over and over each week to point where it's become a joke. These letters are seldom insightful and most often spiteful. Instead of deconstructing every word HH writes and finding glib ways of attacking her, why don't you write your own commentaries about television in your own blogs or columns. Then post a link to them here so we can be wowed by your brilliance.

I dislike football, in general, but have fallen in love with FNL. What wins me over every week is the relationship between Coach Taylor and Tami which I think is one of the best written and acted married relationships on television. I haven't read a lot about the mechanics of the show, but I often wonder if they don't spend a lot of time rehearsing scenes because they often seem really fresh and the actors talk more like real people with pauses, stammering, talking over each other.

As for Survivor, I was almost ready to quit the show due to Rocky's amplifying assitude each week, but Yau-Man has made me want to keep watching. My favorite moment, to date, was when he single-handedly won the arrow/spear challenge for his team and wiped the smirk off of Mookie's face. I also loved that he made and buried a fake immunity idol. I hope he makes it to the finale.

Hilarious. Olive oil isn't "real" or for "real people"? I saw your letter in the other thread, too. You seem to have this notion that if someone eats anything other than Kraft mac & cheese they're a rich, yuppie food snob. Some people love food. Most of them aren't rich. Some of them love to write about it. If the thought of someone writing joyfully about the food they like and how much that food costs infuriates you so much, then stop reading it. It's just like "I Like To Watch". You have a bug up your ass about Havrilesky, but you just can't keep yourself from wanking about her week after week.

Don't take anything that Julie Powell says to heart, Dude. I wouldn't trust her opinion on anything. The strip is fun and quirky. I like it. And, get the Nueske's!

I don't live on or near Cape Cod, so I don't have any sort of bias on the issue. However, the author certainly seems to have one. Thanks to Farnham Woods and Roz Diamond for presenting some perspective that was completely missing from the article. Salon, you're no better than Faux News when you post articles so one sided.

"Apparently the acidity of properly-made Caesar dressing retards bacterial growth IF it's kept at room temperature or above - refrigerate it, and it can kill you!"

Do you have a reference to back that up? If you have unused homemade caesar dressing, I can't believe that it's not safer to keep it in the fridge. Freshly made caesar dressing at room temp for a few hours wouldn't be a problem, but long term?

Overall, this was a silly article. I really wish the food articles at Salon had more substance or were at least witty.

The photo of the PCD is so cheestastic that I was in tears from laughing. Heather, I don't know how you sit through all these crap shows. Good god.

The administration was seriously considering firing ALL the US Attorneys?

Hate to break it to you, but it happened in 1993 during Clinton's first term.

What is so egregious about the current situation how Rove & Co. went about it with the lying and covering up.

>Just look at what I left, and look at who is attacking me today. Let's face it: Those on the left who now attack me would be defending me if I had espoused liberal causes and spoken out against the Iraq war before I was outed as a pseudo celebrity.

Oy vey. And, if that were the case, those attacking your background once they dug it out would be the freepers and your "friends" on the right. Come on man, snap out of it!
