Noticed the change in Matthew_Alice years ago. The first paragraph or sometimes two of his answers are some nonsense tangent as the real answer tags along like some lonely and less important caboose.— February 20, 2012 5:26 a.m.

Hey Tea Party idiots. You want the same thing most Americans want. But like brainless Sara, "Do you love your freedom," Palin, you hijack mainstream ideals, pretend they're new, and belong to the Tea Party. My impression of the Tea Party is young dolts with no education, and old dolts just awakening from a 40 year political slumber.— December 26, 2010 10:56 a.m.
What's your take on the Tea Party?

So Long
Thank you, Mr. Shepard. I read every word you wrote since the early 1980s and I never go to the movies. I did get dragged to “The Perfect Storm” some years ago and fell asleep in the middle. I still don’t know what happened to those guys. But you could have been writing about the ins and outs of anything I wasn’t interested in and I would have still read you. I did learn a lot about films, I loved your cadence, and the stuff between the lines. You never wrote down to us but always wrote up. Your distracters couldn’t reach those heights without stumbling over their own misunderstandings. And aside from your leaving the READER, that’s the saddest thing of all . . .— November 26, 2010 9:45 p.m.
