  • Oh No! John, you had your shot.

    [Read the article: The virtual John Kerry]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Kerry is without support, without the chops, and without the time to refurbish his reputation. He's smart, he's got the money. Nobody cares.

    This war in Iraq is just going to get worse between now and '08. If Kerry wants to serve the country he would do well to help rescend the congressional authorization to invade Iraq. Then Bush would have 90 days to pull out.

    Obama/Clinton looks like a winning ticket to me.

  • Not funny. Hilarious!

    Man! Samantha is by far the best thing The Daily Show has going, even better than Louis Black. Her deadpan regurgitation of the vapid, venal and vile may go over the heads of some, but, as we used to say: "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke".

    Remember when Comedy Central was all about fighting robots and Kilbourn's smarmy wink wink bad boy persona? OK Mad TV reruns are lame, but they have twenty hours of airtime to program.

    Long Live Jon Stewart!

  • Bless their little hearts

    [Read the article: To Damascus with Nancy Pelosi]

    Of course the wingnut bloviators are having a little meltdown. It's what they do to get those juicy American Enterprise Institute paychecks. After all, they really don't do defense.

    Our brilliant leaders have a foreign policy developed by a highly paid sandbox full of fourth graders. Kin Jung Ill is a Poopy Head! Syria has Cooties! Iran? Eeeewey! We don't talk to Iran!

    Ms. Pelosi has done her duty to our country. The only thing Shrub can do is appoint political hacks and cronies to represent us abroad. Just look at what his State Department is doing to our friends. I mean what the hell did Belgium ever do to us to deserve such treatment?

    So Headline it out: "Arab Nations Run By a Bunch of Dicks!" So what. We have to deal with dicks every day just to live a normal life. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia finances the Wahabbist death cult that our actual enemy. Perhaps their blood enemies, the Persians, would be a natural ally. Treason!

    AM radios across this great land will be blowing out speakers and frothing at the headphone jack. Let 'em. Their time is passed.

    "Daddy. What was a Rethuglicant?"

    "Oh Missy they were sort of like the Whig party. Wikki it up kid."

  • What a load!

    [Read the article: Inside the Creation Museum]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The dewey eyed review of these fascists' little fantasy land leaves me slack jawed. Beautiful? Sort of like those crappy little Thomas Kinkade cottage "paintings". The revolting dishonesty of the creation museum, and your uncritical report of the corruption inherent therein makes me reconsider my support of this publication.

    If the Gordy Slack thinks being nice to these anti humanist will somehow make them like liberalism a bit then the author belongs in this fantasy world where science and the beauty of the natural world have no meaning.

    The purpose of this "museum" and its parent organization, "Answers in Genesis" is repeatedly stated in their mission statements. A Christian theocratic regime governing in their god's name.

    Lies are different from mistakes. A lie is when a person ignores evidence to prove a falsehood. These people are the true enemy of Western Civilization. Our ancestors created the Enlightenment to throw off the chains of the superstition represented by the Creation Museum.

    On the bright side, since gravity is just a theory, just think of the rides they could build.

  • Making a rep?

    [Read the article: Why is "Sgt. Pepper" so overhyped?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Back in the day every time The Beatles or Stones issued a new album there was always some little weasel critic trying to make their bones by panning the latest release from the bands by announcing they were out of material. Now we have this guy kicking dirt on SP's grave. At 19 my daughter used her own money to by a SP CD to burn to her iPod. That's love.

    Was it the best album of all time? Who knows? It is damn good though.

    There's no accounting for tastelessness.

  • Too late....

  • Deranged Clinton haters

    [Read the article: Hostages taken at Clinton office]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Nobody can deny that there is a "Hate Hillary" out there that is well financed and well represented in the media. Now we wonder why a marginal character takes it unto himself to destroy "the bitch". I may just listen to Limbaugh tomorrow just to see how he twists this incident.

  • Huckabee is a Difference Engine

    [Read the article: Huckabee, Obama, Kerry, Dean: Are they Macs or PCs?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Mike Huckabee represents the heart of 19th century thinking. An unapologetic flat earther, creationist populist he stokes the religious heart of the common man and appeals to his prejudices at the same time. Digital computers and Mike's anti-science snake handling ways are usually oil and water, but perhaps the difference engine's rods and cams would be just the ticket for Huckabee.

    Obama is a MacBook Pro. Easy on the eyes, appealing to the point of inspiring lust. Sure you would rather have more RAM, and a bigger hard drive, but in time he can be upgraded.

    Hillary is a desktop Pentium III running Windows 95. Sure it works as well as the day you took it out of the box, but it makes you tired to look at it.

    Giuliani is a mainframe in an office downtown somewhere, but it doesn't matter because you don't have access.

    Kusiniich is an Amiga. Good idea, but, well, you know.

    Mitt Romney is one of thousands of Dell desktops, bought in a corporate purchase

    McCain is a Commodore 64 gathering dust in the garage.

    John Edwards is an Intel iMac running Windows XP under Parallels. All things to all users, but do you trust it?

  • A good idea, poorly executed

    So for the same money a base Honda Civic gets you two more seats, better mileage, a trunk and, oh yeah, A Honda! Honda, like in runs forever and holds its value Honda. Want good mileage and look cute? get a Vespa.
