Reader writers on our country this July 4th
I loved this compilation -- so many great takes on America, from a rock-and-roll road trip, to bubble booties, to thoughtful treatises on the ups and downs of patriotism. Thank you Laura McNeal for explaining the depth of the anit-Americanism, anti-Westernism, and guilt-peddling nihilism that goes on at the average American university. The irony is, all the tax payer money that's given to universities makes it government-sponsored anti-Americanism. I feel for Patrick Daugherty in his disillusionment, and for Matthew Lickona trying to explain to his son why America is admirable. I think Barbarella's Dad and Mary Grimm's parents are onto the answer: America, despite her faults and mistakes, is admirable because the freedom to study, work hard, and practice one's faith and one sees fit is guaranteed here. That's something to be proud of. Even Melissa Wiley's take on parks points to the benevolence of America. You may not have a yard in Queens, but there's a park you can take advantage of. And people from all over the country and world congregate there. It's a microcosm of our country.— July 2, 2010 3:19 p.m.
Wave of Concern
Interesting how a story about saving children from abuse turns into saving dogs. Sign of the times?— April 13, 2010 2:42 p.m.
San Diego cocktail lounges as settings for telling love stories
Wow, Nan. What a great story. Condolences.— March 30, 2010 5:02 p.m.

We Filipinos eat with our hands, drive crazy on the road, point with our lips
Re: #27... ahhhhh, it's good to see the old "bird cage liner" cliche. That stopped being a good zinger about 25 years ago. Ms. Rejas's story is more memoir than journalism, which is fine. I'm puzzled by the Filipinos in this thread. The is Maecel's story about growing up Filipino in America. It's not your story. Maybe your Fil-Am experience has been different. Start a blog and tell us about it.— March 11, 2010 11:30 a.m.
The Similarity Between the Orca and Toyota
You can't let captive-bred whales or dolphins into the wild. They have no survival skills. A few years ago, a bunch of well-intentioned idiots spent millions of dollars trying to free the whale from Free Willy. Only Willy kept following the boat back to harbor and waiting for someone to throw him an anchovy. I wonder how many Haitians could have been fed with those millions.— March 1, 2010 5:28 p.m.
Girl Talk
I have to disagree with you, SDaniels. What's wrong with being subtle? What's wrong with leaving some things to the imagination. We all know that more went on at this party than Diva Barbarella let us in on. And that's fine. That's as it should be. Every generation, some comedian or writer or singer or actor makes a name for himself by throwing subtlety out the window and being super explicit about everything. The result is flash-in-the-pan celebrity based mostly on notoriety. Then people quickly tire of the act. Barbarella is smart enough to avoid that fate.— February 25, 2010 9:52 a.m.
Global Warming Is Crap!
I have a hard time believing anything Big Science says anymore. The scientific community is home to some of the the worst money-grubbing whores on earth. These global warming/climate change types created and gold mine of funding by selling fear. And they'll do anything to keep the $$ coming, including fudging the data and actively silencing other view points. I applaud Steve Wampler for calling these people out.— January 28, 2010 10:19 a.m.
Incredible shrinking foundation
COSTUME DESIGN?! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I guess we all knew he wasn't a journalist.— January 20, 2010 5:18 p.m.
