• Financial crisis hits women's closets

  • Oh boo-hoo! How tragic to have to wear something more than once. This article embodies all that disgusts me about the materialistic, vulgar, cult of consumption that has been the economic heart of the US since the 1980s.

• Al-Qaida No. 2 calls on U.S. to embrace Islam

• Child deaths test faith-healing exemptions

  • Heh, just another example of what happens when people allow superstition to rule their lives instead of reason/logic and common sense.

• Baghdad opens campaign to kill stray dogs

  Sun Nov 23, 2008
  • It's sad that there are no animal care facilities - but they can barely keep a minimum of care for the people in Baghdad - better to shoot the strays than have them ill/sick/starving/increasing in number and harming people and other animals.

• Date rape cases still extremely hard to win

  • Heh...Ladies: get a CCW, keep alert, don't accept drinks, and GO TO THE POLICE IF THIS HAPPENS! I wonder if it's the Pornification of the culture...I know these things have always happened, but there are so many more ways to take advantage/meet vulnerable people. *sigh*

• Retirement dreams give way to despair, anger

  Wed Nov 19, 2008
  • Agreed. It's going to get very ugly soon -- we'll have legions of Boomers who cannot retire, who are being forced to take jobs that are usually filled by teens and young adults in college or those educated at a highschool level.

• 'Beauty machine' makes everyone pretty

  Fri Nov 7, 2008
  • Having worked in graphics and illustration for years - this disturbs me. People have no idea how fake, how manipulated images in print materials are...even the most beautiful faces and bodies undergo hours, and sometimes weeks of expert photo-retouching and manipulation.

• Most Calif. blacks backed proposition 8

  Fri Nov 7, 2008
  • ARGH!!!! TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY! It's what our founding father's wanted to protect us from! JUST BECAUSE 52% of people voted YES on 8 does not mean it should or will stand.

• Praying for Election Day miracles

  Sat Nov 1, 2008
  • Theocracy in the U.S. would be one of the greatest evils ever visited on the modern world...interesting how this minority of people, so full of hate, so full of self-righteous zeal - they think they can control what everyone believes, how everyone lives their life.

• Designer's lawyer: 9 women lied in rape claims

  Sat Nov 1, 2008
  • Um, 14-YEARS-OLD - he is a GROWN MAN. End of STORY. Any grown man having sex with a 14-year-old girl is a crime in any state. 9 women have filed, which is highly unusual.  Men (and women ever so often) usually continue to rape/abuse with impunity until they are stopped.
