A Career of NOT Caring!
[Read the article: "You don't care what the American people think?"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He hasn't given a damn about what other people think since the days he decided to weasel his way into the halls of power riding on Don Rumsfeld's coattails.
Just showing his true colors here.

The MYTHICAL Liberal Media
[Read the article: Media's refusal to address the NYT's "military analyst" story continues]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One hears this all the time... the Liberal Media and it's bias. Yeah - bias towards smokescreens and bullshit. This ought to make any respectable journalist hang their head in shame and stop passing the buck and making excuses that it is "station policy" or "what the viewers want" or any of the myriad other reasons one cannot do his/her job the way it was intended!
Who - What - When - Where - WHY!!!!
Remember those five Ws next time you read or hear/see a story on TV and ask yourself again if it's NEWS or BULLSHIT.

PISSED... Not Freaked
[Read the article: Voters freaked about economy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Iraq, it appears is something we have no goddamned control over whatsoever since Shrub and Darth Cheney don't give a flying fuck what the rest of the country think!! SO... it comes down to being pissed about high fuel costs, inflation and raises that don't amount to much if you're doing a good job - but run a corporation into the ditch and walk away with a multi-million dollar bonus!!!
Yeah - PISSED about the economy; or lack thereof - since we're spending BILLIONS of dollars on Shrub's ego party.

Didn't We Win the Cold War??
[Read the article: Lawless in Guantánamo]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The account posted of this trial - or hearing - or whatever-the-hell-you-call-it-just-don't-call-it-justice - sounds so familiar... I think I read about it back in jr. high... it was called "The Gulag Archipelago".
-
Callous Asshole ya are Donny!
[Read the article: Rumsfeld blamed generals for lack of forces in postwar Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]no more comment than that

BlackPod... iBerry... whatever it is..
[Read the article: The BlackBerry Bold: The prettiest, Webbiest Berry ever]

BLOOD on Their Hands as Well as Ours
[Read the article: Network news anchors praise the job they did in the run-up to the war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The fact is that (Powell's speech) was all staged and now, six years later we are cast as liars, murderers and a morally bankrupt nation. God save the souls of our soldiers who have been tossed into the fray and encourage to kill indiscrimantely (sp?).
The corporate press shares a certain amount of blame in their complicit acceptance of the story line concocted to sell this war to the public. They should be ASHAMED - not self-concraglatory!!

Simple Solution
[Read the article: "It's an inquisition, not a trial"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Set the idiot free and expell him from the US. He can't be a martyr or claim any sort of victory then.
-
Elected to do a JOB or F-around??
[Read the article: McCain has missed the most votes of any senator]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No wonder Congress has such low marks and does not get taken seriously as they should... from the looks of it they are not all that interested in doing what they are sent to Washington to do.
New Rule(s):
Miss more than 33% of votes - lose any committee seat.
Miss more than 50% of votes - lose your position.
I have to show up for work daily... DAILY!! =|

Wanker in Chief
[Read the article: G.I. Bill hypocrisy reaches new depths]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Truly... does anyone expect anything different out of this guy?? He's not only a tool but a knob as well.
The End Times can't come soon enough in my book!!
-
HE - DOES - NOT - CARE
[Read the article: Next stop, 30 percent approval ratings]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's the true sign of arrogance and a delusional personality that he regards these polls as more of a vindication that he is doing the HARD WORK - however unpopular it may be. I'm sure the worse the polls get the more he'll feel he is being COURAGEOUS in his steadfast resolve.
Maybe he can be Baseball Comissioner when he retires from office. =|

When Flunkys Run the Country
[Read the article: The FBI's plan to "profile" Muslims]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's not surprising at all to see that the Justice Dept., FBI (name your favorite here ______ ) has inept, upper-middle-management types running their organization into the ditch - sad but not surprising.
These are the type of people who grow up to become your Dick Cheneys, Don Rumsfields, et al. who have inserted themselves into positions that allow them growth/power... not to be confused with doing the right thing and protecting the constitution.
If you work in corporate America (or anywhere for that matter) where there are more than a dozen people, you'll know who I'm talking about.
Peace!

Pay Attention E-Man...
[Read the article: The FBI's plan to "profile" Muslims]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Profiling for the sake of it - like torture - does Not Bring Actionable Results or Intelligence!! It just makes the organization in charge of doing something look like they are doing something!
If you want interdiction then you need to be aware of the wide world around you and look at everything - not what you've set your lens to.

Test Subjects Wanted
[Read the article: Bateman: Is there a way to deter hijackers?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]P-Zappity!! That sounds like a grand idea. Let's fit the Administration with some as a control group.
-
Problem?? What Problem!?!?
[Read the article: How do you solve a problem like Joe Lieberman?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's simple really - let Joe hold his own Cauc(as)... he's the poison in the punch... he's the bad apple... he's Herpes, God of all things that keep coming back to bite ya!!
WHY on EARTH would the dems continue to let him crash the party?
-
Slow Writers or Slow News Month?
[Read the article: National Review writer compares Obama to Hitler]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What a couple of ignoramuses!

The Coup Already Happened
[Read the article: Exposing Bush's historic abuse of power]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Once we accept the fact that our beloved system of government went away when Cheney picked himself to be VP then maybe we can wake up and start taking back our country!
That slimey son-of-a-bitch (his mother must not have loved him enough) was positioning himself since he hooked up that other Benedict Arnold - aka Rumsfeld - during the NIXON administration.
Undoubtedly (sp?) Clinton has his own dirty secrets, as well as Bush Sr., but let's not let that stop us from in depth investigations into how FUKC'D we really are in regards our Civil Liberties and Constitutional "rights".
PS - George, you really are a self-important, sanctimonious, delusional prick.

The Naderites are Coming!! The NADERITES are Coming!
[Read the article: Clinton supporters plan parade for Denver]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It simply boggles the mind that anyone who was for Clinton (and I count myself partial there until she pulled the "win-at-all-costs" game) can possibly believe that McCain would be a suitable alternative!!
WHAT - THE - HELL - ???!
-
HA!! She Just Proved Herself!
[Read the article: Well, I know who I'm voting for]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If she keeps that up she'll have worldwide respect in no time.
She'll have to change that Frenchy sounding name though to something more 'Merican! :)
-
Bulletin... IRONY METER BROKEN!!!
[Read the article: Rice: Military power is "not the way to deal in the 21st century"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Comment by our illustrious leaders about other countries flexing their military and shooting people are simply amazing.
I've always thought that it takes more balls to wage peace than it does to drive your tanks across someone elses fence. We('Merika) have not been setting a fine example these past few years.
