open letter

Dearest Governor, It seems that last night you were somewhat unclear or simply unaware of what is meant by Achilles heel. When asked by Gwen Ifill what you felt yours was you so eloquently spoke of all the attributes that make you and the "maverick" the ideal choice for leading this country. You even quoted some words of the late great Ronald Reagan. Something about...a city on a hill

Say What You Will, But Pay Your Own WayBy Brother SamI’m writing this on Friday, September 25, 221 years to the day from the First Amendment’s passage by Congress. That same amendment not only proscribes the government from telling preachers what they can say from behind the pulpit, but also prohibits the establishment of an official state religion. (Note to theists: If there's ever a state re

EDITORS NOTE: This was a long time coming. It's about time that hard-working artists and upstart labels started standing up to the ultra-arrogant Pitchfork... and their uber self-absorbed culture of idiocy.

Greetings Americans, Over the course of this current election campaign we've received a lot of emails "exposing" one side or the other for something that was or wasn't said or for a policy position that may or may not be true. Most of these emails refer to factcheck.org as a source of truth. So, in the interest of independent thinking, we went to factcheck.org and did a little research. The

Dear Congressman Cohen,Your comments that clearly compared Christ and Senator Obama only show your total lack of regard for the people of your district.

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell -- they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman  in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money.  I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 'special services. Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear

This is the best response that you, together with Commissioner Vladimir Špidla, could give to the ‘1million4disability’ campaign that EDF has led over last year, and that has gathered the support of over 1.364.984 citizens including prominent national and European politicians, representatives of a wide variety of civil society organizations, trade unions, and heads of State.

When my mother called you to tell you Dad had died, you asked if she wanted you to go tell Kenny. She specifically told you no. She didn't want you to tell him, he barely even knew who you were, the devastating news needed to come from family. She explained why, she said that we would tell him when we got home.

Dear Pope Benedict XVI, I read, with deep compassion, how you have been hurt deeply by the clergy abuse scandal that rocked our church about a half-decade ago. I also observed what a startling emotional toll it took on your predecessor, John Paul II. I also read how determined you are to rid the church of the contagion of this, forever. I have no doubt of your zeal and determination but I am sadly, un-optimistic of your prospects for success. As a Father and Husband of a family that has been victimized by the horrible plague of child sexual abuse, I can speak quite clearly of the pain and devastation caused by it. When asked, in victim witness accounts, to describe the level of damage suffered by my family, I responded with a single word- nuclear. Holy Father, our family w

Didn't I make my intentions clear last year? Don't you remember the RoundUp, the WeedBGone, the weeding pail, the sweating? All puns aside, this is a toxic relationship. Don't you see how we keep repeating old patterns?  You show up, I kill you. You show up again, I kill you again. What part of "I will kill you" do you not understand? Don't you have any dignity? Quite frankly, I'm embarrassed for you. By the way, The Mulch totally agrees with me. So, I'd appreciate it if we could just get on with our lives. As we used to say in sorority rush, I think you'd be happier at another house.- Suep.s. do

After the horrible mess that was Xbox Live following the Christmas holidays, things seemed to be back on track. Sure, you’d still run into laggy games here and there, but that’s what you come to expect when playing games online.

Yesterday, you left me. Right out of my life without a word. Why didnÂ’t you try and fight and stay with me? Instead you just packed up and left. I am angry and sad that you left. How will get such awesome pictures? How will I stay up to date with the latest news? Popular: 3 hours 44 minutes ago source: (taylorsentertainmentnews.com)

Dear Mr  Halsey referee  sir, When is offside really offside? I looked up in my  "A Dummies guide to football rules" book and found the following which may be of use to you. A player is in an offside position if: he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent  he [...]

The truth… Weekly UN-Hotties I showed 3 homes in one of Austin’s most beautiful subdivisions yesterday.  I’ll admit, I was excited to tour this neighborhood (as always)- an Austin neighborhood with grandeur, that Austin neighborhood is Avery Ranch. I want you to know that I’ve never been more ashamed in my entire life entering all three of these [...]

Dear Festering Sore (née Deep Pimple):I have to admit that I thought you were pretty cool at first. I could feel the pressure of your new growth under the skin next to my nose, and I had that excited feeling I get whenever I anticipate something I enjoy.I know that happily anticipating the growth of a deep, infected zit may sound odd, but I really do enjoy the satisfaction that comes from squeezing out all the junk after one of you has risen to full pus capacity. So, really, I was only excited to see you because I knew that I would eventually murder you.It is not a sweet life into which you are born, and for that, I am sorry.But that was way back in the days when you were known as Deep Pimple. Now, as butterflies transmogrify from caterpillars, you are known as Festering Sore, and

The Witherspoon Society posted An Open Letter to the Presbyterian Church (USA). This is a powerful, heartfelt letter. Date: March 2008 From: Your Candidates and Inquirers for the Ministry of Word and Sacrament who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Re: Bush vs. Presbytery of Pittsburgh PJC Ruling Regarding Ordination Standards and G-6.0106b We, your sisters and brothers in Christ, your colleagues in ministry, faithful members of Presbyterian churches are saddened by the recent ruling of the Permanent Judicial Commission (PJC) which singles out the requirement of fidelity in heterosexual marriage and chastity in singleness as an essential tenet of Reformed faith. This ruling contradicts some of the most important work of the Pe

NOTE: This was originally published by me on May 8, 2007 for randomn3ss.comAll I want to do is go to ONE “punk rock” concert without having to deal with all you stupid posers! In the 80’s, it was “glue heads” and kids in the U.S. wearing Union Jack and screaming about “anarchy in the U.K.” Nowadays, it’s lame chains, horrible dye jobs, and one of 3 or 4 skate company t-shirts.Do yourself a favor, turn off your Blink-182, Green Day, and Good Charlotte for a few minutes and find a copy of the first Clash album, or maybe The Stooges, Fun House record. Now THAT’S punk! (for extra credit, check out The Ruts’, The Crack and the Bad Brains’ Black Dots)Today’s “punk rock” is simply a watered down version of what the music was meant to be. You little bastards show up in

Quantum has left a new comment on your post "Why Are BW So Afraid of Using Their Skin Privilege...":I'm a SWM, and I'd like to add something here. I've ALWAYS loved darker skin, a thick, round bootie, and thicker lips, voluptuousness, etc. It's some of the things that have always drawn me to black women. Black women to me, are the sexiest women on the planet, and it has nothing do with experimentation or any of that silly nonsense that we WM always get accused of simply because we like whom we like.I could never understand why BW would get uncomfortable and sometimes just plain turned off by that! It would make me think, "What's wrong with this person? Would you prefer I find you UNattractive? Or ugly? What's your hold up? And it is YOUR hold up." I'm just being honest here. It was incredi
