Carefree view
She's in college, working at Starbucks, and providing condescending idiots like the letter-writer hot coffee. Maybe, Richard, she just didn't want to talk to her because she sensed you were an arrogant know-it-all.

Action on gay rights is long overdue
justanothertroll: "sorry but if you have no problem with a guy sticking his penis in another guys butt, than [sic] there is something wrong with you too, it aint natural"
You know what really aint natural? Crocs. I know the company has struggled lately, but the radical croc agenda isn't going to die out and we have to be vigilant about croc-wearers trying to recruit our young into a life of hideous fashion.

Action on gay rights is long overdue
According to consumer1, our Defense Secretary as well as a score of retired generals are part of "the gay agenda." Who knew Teh Gay conspiracy reaches so deep into our armed services?
consumer1: "Is anyone surprised that Pitts would write a story promoting the gay agenda after spending one day in Lawrence????"
Well, no, especially given Lawrence's reputation as "the Castro on the prairie." And don't forget the many hours Pitts spent in the gay part of town, going from gay bar to gay bar, meeting with local GBLT activists, as well as acting as Grand Marshall of our yearly Pride parade. So, no, I'm not surprised that the DC-based nationally syndicated columnist's thoughts on gay rights were deeply and uniquely influenced by his one-day visit to our town. How can any reasonable person conclude otherwise?

‘Tea party’ is Palin’s people
leedavid -- But I bet you voted for Reagan, star of "Bedtime for Bonzo" and other masterpieces. If you want to have a discussion about unqualified hacks running for high office, we can start with Ronnie.

‘Tea party’ is Palin’s people
Most Americans realize Palin is unqualified to lead the country.
WaPo poll from today: "fifty-five percent of Americans have unfavorable views of her [Palin], while the percentage holding favorable views has dipped to 37, a new low in Post-ABC polling"; that "there is a growing sense that the former Alaska governor is not qualified to serve as president, with more than seven in 10 Americans now saying she is unqualified, up from 60 percent in a November survey"; that "even among Republicans, a majority now say Palin lacks the qualifications necessary for the White House"; and even that "Palin has lost ground among conservative Republicans," as "forty-five percent of conservatives now consider her as qualified for the presidency, down sharply from 66 percent who said so last fall."

Obama visits Boston in bid to save Senate seat, health vote
"Think some Black Panthers and SEIU thugs are assembling for some voter intimidation?"
No, Tom, but I think you're a racist who gets childishly excited by the thought of racial violence.
Notice how "thug" has become the preferred substitute for the N word. This last year, white Republicans have truly embraced "thug" as the dog-whistle of choice.
The all-white Brooks Brothers rioters from 2000, of course, were the wrong skin color to be labeled "thugs" -- they were just All-American white, wealthy populists. Of course.

Obama simply too far left for America
Obama's too liberal? He expanded and gave bipartisan blessing to Bush/Cheney anti-terror policies, escalated our wars in the Middle East, and he killed true health care reform by caving to the insurance lobby.
Too liberal. Yeah, that's it.

Earth’s cruelty rains down on Haiti
@ jonas_opines@1:31 -- Yes, this thread is especially vicious and dumb. I think some people can't process the scope and hideousness of the tragedy so their brain immediately goes to a selfish/childish place and they do all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify not caring ("they're illiterate!" "it's vodoo" "wish it were 'Frisco! Ha!").
That's the charitable interpretation anyhow. I think a lot of them are simply racist.

Earth’s cruelty rains down on Haiti
"I wish it was San Fran instead."
First of all, while this Haitian earthquake is a big goldmine for comedians like yourself, I can understand your choice of a safe San Francisco reference opening. We all know what "San Francisco" means! LOL!
But seriously, it's *so* hilarious that you want over 100,000 Americans killed in a devastating earthquake. I assume 9/11 was an awesome day for you. Such a good American . . . .

GOP: Reid’s apology for remark not enough
