“Maybe the people of Arizona should "recall" him.”

“Actually he's channeling Ronald Raygun, which is who Albi was channeling­...I do not recall 1st became popular in the Raygun admin and has been a Rethug tactic ever since”

“Nena- I learned much from your book and appreciated the non toxic toy site. Education is a powerful tool- I ended my simple pleasure of microwaved popcorn. You probably saved my life.”

“Agree with you entirely! Our country desperately needs "more open discussion. . .more civil dialogue. But there's no accident that Republican leadership-- whether in the executive branch or the Congress-- has led to polarization of the American people; their's is a consistent tactic of creating division. It's based on a whole complex of preferences for the simple (even if wrong!) over the complicated, for action over reasoned reflection, for seeing choices as either/or and black/white. That mindset leads almost inexorably to a divisive us-vs.-the­m worldview, to a contempt for dialogue with anyone of different persuasion, culture or race, and to an almost reflex resort to wars instead of diplomacy. As such, all their talk about "expanding democracy in the world" is a crock, because they don't respect opinions which diverge from theirs. And their idea of the democratic process, even in the US, is limited to having the public approve (at election times) condidates chosen by special interests and party handlers. Only "dittoheads" seem to be welcome in that scenario; certainly not some random member of the public blurting out questions for which the answer script has not been written and rehearsed. Unfair! Democratic sabotage!”

“Especially when you remember Arianna 10 years ago. She was a Repuke. Arianna gives me hope that intelligence can see through the Repuke nonsense and speak the truth. And look what Arianna has done for the alternative media since she's seen the light. Go Arianna!”

“artistgirl,

He walks like a man. Although he does have some swagger. He talks like and educated man who has been living in the midwest for 25 years.
There is no such thing as talking white. White people in different regions and of different socio-economic backgrounds talk completely differently.

More importantly, if there was such a thing, why would he want to act white? He is half African and that is a beautiful thing.”

“You're in the wrong section of the site if you're looking for the issues. A news site's "Style" section isn't going to be noted for its substance or political acumen.”

“Nah, Cindy looks like a geriatric Barbie Doll ! And Mac doesn't have enough of endurance to run a race, never-the-less be ready to answer a phone at 3am.”

“It was a catty column.”
