  • "LIGHT"

    Here is a battle for a semantics to revel in. As a smoker, I am fully aware that ''light'' cigarettes are the lesser of tar evils and no bounty of health. To argue that the term implies health is like saying lableing full tar cigarettes ''heavy'' would imply a lesser state of health. In our current lexicon ''heavy'' could describe the idea of ...

  • Re: Bazelon, You Are Blind.

    As Governor of Alaska, concerned with the well-being of her state, maybe the Supreme Court decision relieving Exxon of some of the responsibility (at least financially) for the Valdez disaster would be one Gov. Palin would be likely to take issue with. Don't let her off the hook so easily.

  • Re: Actually makes sense... sarcasm and all.

    I agree completely, and that is what is so truly frustrating about this election. This article is a hoot and gave me a real laugh as a sarcastic piece about how truly inappropriate she is for the white house, but what ARE our true options. I was asked on another post last week why we are all paying SO much attention to Palin, after ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick, have you lost your mind?

    Ms. Palin is already a candidate for vice president of the United States, against all reason, judgment, or sanity. Your subtle sarcasm (if that's what it is) will go right over the heads of the over-entertained voters reading Newsweek who think (if that's what it's called) that Sarah Palin getting picked to run for high office in the United ...

  • Hillary Supporters

    I hope the PUMAs enjoy spending the rest of their lives living under the anti-choice, anti-woman Supreme Court McCain will appoint, as well as his firm stance against, well EVERYTHING HRC stands for: healthcare, sane energy and foreign policy, help for the middle class - you name it. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! I'd have to ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Error about Supreme Court Building Motto

    The actual phrase etched on the facade of the U.S. Supreme Court building is ''Equal Justice Under Law,'' not ''Equal Justice for All,'' as written by the authors. While this is a minor point in the context of the entire article, these two phrases are not synonymous, in my view. The actual etched phrase necessarily is more circumscribed a ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • Government abuse of power

    South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society. Their goal is to limit freedom and force conformity with their ...
