  Mon Feb 22, 2010
  • As is so often the case, some folks are looking for an excuse to be offended. I found the costumes silly but offensive?...Please.

• Do you think Amanda Knox helped murder her roommate?

  Fri Dec 4, 2009
  • Her behavior throughout the trial seemed to me to be "I did it and I am going to get away with it, la-tee-da". She acted like a guilty person who thought she was too perfect to be convicted. In any case, she obviously lied to police and knows more than she is admitting.

  • It's not just Republicans, Rick. Which fear-mongering Luddites have been standing in the way of expanding nuclear power in this country for nearly the last forty years? Not the Repugs, but the Dims, eh, I mean, the Dems.

  Thu Oct 8, 2009
  • Are Pintos really considered ugly? I owned one for twenty years. 1977 hatch-back, made in Canada, canary yellow with orange and brown stripes. The Pinto was a big seller for Ford, and no one made fun of it when I was in high school. Now the Aztec, that is ugly!

• Chicago, Rio, Madrid, Tokyo await 2016 vote

  Fri Oct 2, 2009
  • I don't see how conservatives can be blamed for this. Bush is gone, Chicago is a liberal city in a liberal state, and the Obama's put on a full-court press. Personally, given Chicago's reputation for crime and corruption, I am surprised it got as far along as it did in the process.

• Book claims Ted Williams' head mistreated

  Fri Oct 2, 2009
  • Hey, why should Ted and other wealthier folks get to preserve their heads for future reanimation? I think a provision in the forthcoming Health Care Bill should grant anyone who wants to freeze their heads and/or bodies should be able to do so and at taxpayers expense.

• Book claims Ted Williams' head mistreated

  • I think it is pretty obvious Ted didn't believe in a "Celstial Kingdom" (which is fine, I don't know that I do) or otherwise he wouldn't have bothered trying to preserve his head after it was dead
