Emily's Barehanded Catch
Emily, Catching with your bare hand is insulting to your son. Boys want to think they are throwing real heat, but then Mom can catch it with her throwing hand it kills the fantasy. Learn to catch it right to save his fun. -- MrJM

Fair or Not - Municipal Governments Have a Long Way to Go
I think under Grutter v. Bollinger municipalities should figure something out. Whether fair or not, if the legislature does not try (at least) to enforce the Court's greater diversity rulings, we're back to the Brown v. Board problem.

Lack O Stimulus Fest
Paul Krugman is a ''pretty good'' columnist? (This may not be the exact quote, but that's the gist.) If the world had been listening to him a year or two (or more) ago, we wouldn't be in nearly the economic mess we are in now. But David Brooks writes a snarky column that you can all relate to as DC dwellers (or former dwellers), and this makes ...

"everybody's President"
During the Nov. 7 Gabfest Emily said something like this ''He (Obama) is everybody’s president''. Not true. For people like me, who are gay, he is not our president. Not just because he holds the standard ''separate but equal'' notion on marriage that we get from his party. But his election itself is a sign of Gay and Lesbians ...

Choice
The discussion of the Oklahoma law forcing a detailed review of their ultrasound on women (10/24) considering abortion misses the nuances of the situation woman/some very young women find themselves in. We are in a campaign in which one side wishes to decrease the access to this medical procedure even in cases of rape and incest. Furthermore ...

Oliver Stone butchers Dickerson in W. (the movie)
I saw the preview of W. on the 10/9/08 episode of the Colbert Report (colbertnation.com or hulu.com). Not only did Stone cast an OLD man to play John, but he slaughtered John's words. His words. It's like slaughtering Shakespeare. The clip begins JOHN: Thank you sir. Mr. President, After 9/11, what would you say your biggest mistake would ...

To Segway ?
Not being a native English speaker I was intrigued by David’s correction of Emily's supposedly incorrect use of the verb To Segue, so I looked it up (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/segue) and there it was. Could this be an unconscious/conscious move to discredit the female of the group? First the hot mike last week and now this? Very ...

US is 3rd in oil production!!!
In Friday's podcast, Emily stated the US is not a major producer oil. In fact, the US is the third largest producer after the Saudi Arabia and Russia. See attached reference link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chart-of-Oil-Trading-Nation_inverse.GIF

Re: PLEASE get rid of Plotz
Ahh, I think you're being a little unfair. Part of the pleasure of listening to any debate is hearing differing viewpoints from people who still have respect for their fellow debaters. There must be plenty of other podcasts that provide a dry recitation of statistics and analysis, the Gabfest is great because it provides opinions. The team is very ...

stuffed animal scrooge
When I think of the fun and happiness that I had with my many stuffed animals--each of which had a name and persona--during childhood, I cringe at the thought of having this author as my parent. Yes, I wished upon a star every night that my stuffed animals would come to life, and even to this day when I am fully grown up for many years, I feel sad ...
