  • Good Questions. I Would Like to See Eliot Spitzer a Senator

    Sometimes, you judge a politician by that politician's enemies. Spitzer has all the right enemies, including the ''Masters of the Universe'' on Wall Street, who cheered and toasted his political demise recently, and then promptly threw our American economy ''under the bus.'' Besides, if Bill Clinton can make a political comeback, why not the ...

  • Men need to be careful about Viagra..

    It diverts the blood flow from your brain and sends it to the cylindrical pendulous. But, on a lighter note, many men confuse the two when it comes to thought and judgement, anyway. LMAO

  • Thanks for Researching This, Rather Than Healthy Family Life

    The complete and inane turpitude of every aspect of American life and attitudes and values continues to astonish me, over time. I would guess that no American living today under the age of 20 or 30 knows or can conceive of the Great American Family as I experienced it, along with so many other Americans, in the 1950s and 1960s here in America. I ...

  • Palin's Choice

    I love the thought of women ascending to high office. While women haven't hit the executive office yet, many fine and talented woman have been in the Senate, Congress, and cabinet positions for decades. As a child of the 70s I myself am abundantly gifted with the benefits of the 70s woman's movement. But the thing that bothers me about Sara ...

  • Where is a discussion about Father's Rights?

    Up front allow me to say that I am a clear supporter of abortion rights under any and all circumstances. I was raised in a strongly feminist household and support equal rights for women and do not believe they have been achieved yet. And yet I was deeply troubled by the language Linda used in this article in its absolutism about it being only ...

  • Hire Relatives instead of Talent

    I can't speak for the whole country, but in my area the hiring of relatives over talent is very common. I hear a lot of ''my aunt was a teacher here for 30 years, so I never even had to sub.'' Teachers who get their jobs this way rarely worry about reprimand for poor jobs. When I sub for their classes I find lots of movies on the lesson plans. ...

  • Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET

    Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

  • 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 ...
