TV is not bad in itself. Its the commercials. I let my boy watch the simpsons, the old looney tunes, thomas the tank engine, hell he even likes the original star trek. The key is to get DVD's of old programs. No commercials, and the programs themselves were not geared towards branding themselves in your child's brain.

It worked out well. When we traveled and stayed in a hotel and caught the simpsons on TV he was quite angry when a commercial came on.

But ya, I'm in the same boat. No cable. No commercials.

I'll resist the urge to call you names as you agree you got coming to you :) and charitably suggest you're making the common mistake of taking vaguely formed impressions and inflating them into incorrect conclusions about incredibly large groups of people.

All I can say is if you find yourself doing this, you're probably wrong.

The primary election Hillary referred to was only 3 months old at the time of RFK assassination, so her justification for mentioning it was flawed. Perhaps if she were more honest about her mistakes, people wouldn't jump on her so hard.

Plus on a visceral level its just too much fun to think Hill is staying in the race just because Obama might get killed.

I wish once the media would take a long hard look at the pronouncements many leaders and other people have made regarding loyalty and note how it is never to the country, but to party or president.

I wish just once someone would ask Dole and othe bush-holes why if they love america so much they are so enraged by what is perceived as disloyalty to the president but is loyalty to the country.

I wish once someone would ask Clinton why a superdeleagate who chooses whom they think would be the best president for the country is 'disloyal' or a judas.

Makes me fucking sick so many people can blatantly display an glaringly obvious lack of patriotism and no one calls them on it.

I find it hard to accept that over the next 6 months of direct contrast between Obama and McCain, any serious democratic supporter wouldn't vote for Obama.

As an early poster brilliantly pointed out that a vote for McCain, with his pledge to seat more judges like Alito and Roberts is a vote against women.

I also believe that Hillary has one chance to save her name from ignominy in the history books based on her support for Obama. If she is perceived to be supporting him with anything less than full enthusiasm, she will be a shame to the party, and the country. The alternative, 4 more years with McCain is simply too horrifying to consider.

1. Obama did nothing to antagonize these angry women.

2. Hillary antagonized these women falsely in a desperate attempt to garner some momentum.

3. The argument that down the line, women won't vote for Obama, or will vote for McCain (based on the idea she is an angry woman, angry at how Hill was treated during the primary) considering the types judges McCain has pledged to appoint is laughable.

4. Based on the above argument, Hillary will campaign enthusiastically on Obama's behalf lest McCain gets to appoint more judges.

This is drama, not a real issue. Don't stoke it Joan with inflammatory headlines.

ANY woman who votes for McCain after he pledged to appoint more judges to the Supreme Court like Bush did, DESERVES what will happen to her if McCain wins.

Enjoy those back-alley abortions and lower pay than men, ladies!

Why does Obama need to win them over. Can't she just deliver them?

"To stop everything and attempt to impeach and remove a president who has less than a year to serve would not strike me as the best use of our energy. And for what? So Dick Cheney can be president?"

I would love to ask Mr. Broder: Do you contend that a man who is raping a woman should not be stopped from raping her because there is another rapist with a bigger cock standing by?

Ok, being glib aside, either Mr. Broder has no ability for critical thought or he deliberately running defense for the admin: Is it at all conceivable that an impeachment trial of Bush would leave Cheney untouched? Cheney would be sharing a cell with Bush if any kind of serious legal investigation took place.

I agree that Mr. Lind's thesis is correct but its hard to agree that the counterrevolutionaries lost when we have gitmo, torture, warrantless wiretapping, Patriot Act, New Orleans...

It just goes on and on.

Women who voted for Obama because they think he is the best candidate = Good Americans.

Women who voted for Hillary because she was a woman = sexists.

Nobody is clean. Surely a private investigator could find quasi-factual things about Floyd Brown that would ruin is reputation, business or family life?

If there is one thing I'm mad at men for is the development of the double standard that women should be chaste while men should not. Hello?!? I want to get laid but everyone I want to hump shouldn't want to put out? What were we thinking?!?

Religion aside I've always wondered if this stemmed from basic male insecurity about other men fucking their women. Whatever it is its a shame.

As Chris Rock said "Just be glad you're fucking her now!"

"I don't exactly approve of a lot of the things he stands for and I'm not sure we know enough about him"

Contradict yourself much?

ANY woman who votes for a repub, especially McCain, who has already pledged to appoint SCOTUS judges in the mold of the judges Bush appointed, deserves to have her body controlled by the court.

Enjoy those back-alley abortions and un-equal pay, ladies!

And don't be sobbin on TV when the boy you were forced to have grows up, and gets sent to Iraq and gets killed. (Ya we'll be there that long if McCain is elected.)
