"Why don't you let readers comment on your posts?" --Jessica Timberlane, Zagreb
Thanks for writing, Jessica. The reason we don't let users post comments is that we want *unvarnished* advice and communications. We want our readers to be able to give us the straight, inside dope -- we mean that figuratively, of course -- without worrying that their words could come back to haunt them... in federal indictments for conspiracy to defraud energy consumers, for example. So far we've been 100% effective in this. Not one of our readers has yet done hard time for gaming the energy market in California, or for laying off the skilled workers who would have prevented the recent blackout from spreading to New York City.
This proud track record would not have been possible if our readers comments had been posted in full view on the internet.

Bob Novak almost got nailed.
He practically came out and said that if you serve the country in the military under a Democrat, that service doesn't count... dismissing various generals who were quoted about Clark.
Boy, the tap dancing when he was called on that one was an artform. Fred Astaire would have been out a job.
Funny, Republicans *always* seem to put people out of work.

OK. We're big enough to apologize. We mocked Israel for threatening to expel and/or murder Arafat with a cultural joke -- what's the Hebrew/Yiddish/etc. equivalent of "shooting yourself in the foot"?
Now of course, the United States has followed in Sharon's footsteps, vetoing a 'fair and balanced' Security Council resolution that passed with overwhelming support. Why? Domestic politics -- gotta get the Jews to vote Republican in 2004, especially the Florida Jews.
Meanwhile the cost is to excacerbate every problem in the Middle East, and every problem we have in Iraq, in particular, and to promote terrorism. Good move.
Really, considering that we let Bush get away with a coup d'etat, we should shut up about other countries. We're not going to, though. Cuz we're going to fire Bush, even if we can't throw him in jail, and then we're going to spread peace, prosperity, justice, health, and environmental improvements throughout the world.

Is Ahnold changing his ways? He didn't grope Oprah once, not even backstage. Gosh, I guess he's ready to be Governor of California.

"...Cheney fell woefully short of truth."
Seems like that statement is 'woefully short of truth'. The truth is that Cheney lied repeatedly to cover up his cronies' malfeasance and negligence with respect to thousands of murdered Americans, and other issues.
Cheney: Liar, liar, liar.
Nevertheless, when major newspapers and 'hawk-ish' Congressmen stop covering up Bush/Cheney lies and start debunking the propaganda, Bush and Cheney and their ilk are in dire trouble.

Who said Bush isn't creating any job vacancies?
Think about all the jobs left behind by reservists who will spend -- not one weekend, but -- six to twelve months in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
That's thousands of jobs open for people who weren't foolish enough to volunteer to serve their country.
Bush should be boasting about that.
