“No produce. everything in boxes. Does anybody think she's doing her family a favor? Spend some money and some FOOD. And who wants soy based candles? Why does she think that stuff is free?!?”

“Love. Chris. Kelly. Period. Makes me laugh every time.”

“Throw away the key.”

“I hate this argument. Happily, I'm a thin person and have never had an issue with food. But, I know many people who do and it usually starts in childhood. Are CHILDREN responsible for their obesity? The fact is, we're all in this mess together. For us to blame people for "lifestyle" choices, like alcoholism, depression, obesity, etc. is to ignore the human condition.”

“Doogie rocked the house.”

“January Jones is so beautiful it takes your breath away. Good grief - like Grace Kelly - she's perfect to look at.”

“How much more sordid and ugly can this get? I supported Edwards in the beginning and feel completely duped about the person. However, the politics still strike me as correct. I don't have to feel ashamed for supporting the ideas - it's Edwards' shame for discrediting them with his behavior.”

“Good. Let Denver have all that tax revenue.”

“I'm a Colorado native who has lived in DC, NYC and LA - Denver wins, hands down. I love this city. Welcome Huffpo.”

“How can he declare the "public option dead" and say the president showed little willingness to compromise? There are those of us who believe he's already compromised too much. What a loathsome toady Graham can be...”

“Of course it was useful idiots of the left in charge 8 years ago. Senator Hart and others were warning of an attack then - it fell on deaf ears. Attorney General Ashcroft removed federal agents from terrorism assignments to fight pornography. The fact that we were attacked - and probably will be again - is not because of the left or the right. It is because we are a free nation and there are people who wish us harm. Freedom comes at a price. Would you prefer a police state? That's safer.”

“Honestly, I think he's right. Dave has always fancied himself a broadcaster and Jay, a standup. What would have been untrue is if Jay said he was FUNNIER than Dave.”

“The fact is, Wilson's the liar. This is what the story should be about. HIs behavior is secondary. Once again, the media chases the decoy.”

“Well, she paid good money so she might as well flaunt them.”

“I can't believe he's really gone.”

“I'm a Roman Catholic who was educated at Catholic high school and university and the FIRST thing that gave me pause about Justice Sotamayor's confirmation was her religion. My father (also a Roman Catholic) and I discussed it at length.

He marveled at the way fundamentalist protestants - who for most of his life had scorned Catholics as "papists" - had championed a number of these Catholic justices. The alliance between conservative Catholics and fundamentalist protestants began BECAUSE of the abortion issues, and is now strengthened by their aversion to gay rights.

In my opinion, the reason that Republican presidents have appointed so many Catholic justices is because there are few fundamentalist protestants who would be qualified, frankly. Besides the abortion issue, Roman Catholics diverge greatly in their religious beliefs from fundamentalist protestants, most notably in the fact that they don't believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. This is no small distinction. Catholic jurists, for example, don't reject human evolution or geology that proves the earth is billions of years old. It would be difficult to find someone qualified for the Supreme Court who rejected science as most fundamentalists do.

As for Sotomayor, I believe her selection - beyond her obvious qualifications - was based more on ethnicity and gender. The fact that she is Catholic was incidental in this instance. It's because we, as Americans, don't seem able to talk about religion that this issue was sidelined, I think.”

“If ONLY it looked like Vatican II. Roberts, Scalia and Alito are extremely conservative and orthodox Catholics - more Opus Dei than Vatican II (the name given the second Vatican Council convened by John the XXIII to modernize the Church).”

“wish I'd seen your comment before I added mine - much the same. But, it IS a laugh riot, isn't it?!?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Irony is the BEST form of humor, ain't it? I'd comment more, but I'm laughing too hard...”

“it's becoming quite clear that the Democrats need to push this through without ANY Republican votes. And that's just fine with me.”

“From Mr. Frum's comments one sees just how naive he was about the medium of television. Anybody paying attention - as Paddy Chayefsky was back in the 70's, saw this coming a mile away. Commercial television is just that - commercial and is driven by profit motives. Period.”

“While your prescribing yoga for TV personalities - can you give a shout out to Chelsea Handler? I enjoy her show - she's a funny dame - but I almost can't watch her because of the tension you can literally see in her shoulders. This girl needs a down dog more than anybody I've ever seen. She's going to run into back trouble, too - if she hasn't already - because those tight shoulders probably indicate a very tight hip complex, too.

Thanks for the good advice!”

“First, these women weren't hostages - they were prisoners charged and convicted of crimes. I'm not saying they were guilty of anything, I'm just saying North Korea wasn't holding them hostage or publically demanding anything for their return.

Second - were any concessions made? Did money change hands? Unless and until these questions are answered in the affirmative, I think this author jumps the gun.”

“Thank you. Even the comments included in this piece strike me as much more sexual than political, or racial. This guy was one sad, sick sob.”

“but Chelsea Handler is funny.”
