Chris Springer
Like fingernails on a blackboard, Springer's exaggerated attempts at Spanish pronunciation render his program unlistenable. If he wants to be Latino so bad, my advise is that he take a long walk off a short pier, and hope for reincarnation to smile kindly on him. Please stop murdering Spanish, Chris...— July 23, 2016 4 p.m.

I should just leave it here, because your response, to anyone with the IQ of an amoeba, speaks for itself. However, to equate an older man speaking to a teenage girl with statutory rape is ludicrous beyond belief. Regardless of the appropriateness of asking "Where's the party?" (as opposed to "Let's party", which you so disingenuously imply), your statement was that the man was "far too old to be talking to high-school girls". Do you see the difference? I would bet that you do, but that you are the equivalent of an internet troll, waiting for the self-gratification of a response to your tripe. Not nice to use the Reader that way...and interesting how you jumped on the comment so quickly. Even more interesting that you never addressed the issues raised in the comment, instead opting for the ever-so-clever ad hominem attack. As for misogyny, such a cheap tactic as to toss mud, such as the emotionally-charged words "rape" and "mysogynistic", against the wall to see if they stick is, again, something anyone with a brain can see right through.. For your accusation to be true, you and the other 'writer' would have to somehow be representative of your gender. Thank the Buddha, you are not. I make these comments keeping in mind that you are not even remotely a journalist, and that your opinions are all you have to offer. Now you have mine.— October 8, 2014 12:58 p.m.

"During the short time I spend with the foursome, the group receives a fair share of unsolicited attention from male beachgoers. One man, far too old to be talking to high-school girls, asks, “Where’s the party at, ladies?” He continues on his way after Abby shoots him a disgusted withering glance. " Or: During the short time I spend with the foursome, the group receives a fair share of unsolicited attention from **black** beachgoers. One man, far too **dark** to be talking to high-school girls, asks, “Where’s the party at, ladies?” He continues on his way after Abby shoots him a disgusted withering glance... Why is obvious ageism so utterly acceptable (or is it the combination of ageism and sexism), while obvious racism is not? The Reader has devolved into the lowest common denominator, hiring narcissistic and vacuous authors, while the likes of Bauder are relegated to a tiny fraction of the otherwise useless content. Siobhan Braun writes vacuous pieces very well. Her only rival is Barbarella... Feh. Free, and worth every cent.— October 6, 2014 10:32 a.m.
Essential Bangkok, Thailand
Let them eat cake! The Shangri-La is one of Asia's finest (and most expensive) hotels, and certainly luxurious. You could forget you are in Thailand easily. Of course it wouldn't do to be reminded of the third-world, except in small, recoverable doses. And by all means, take a tuk-tuk! You will pay several times what you need to pay to get ANYWHERE in Bangkok, guaranteed, but hey, it's AUTHENTIC! That is, IF you get where you originally wanted to go. Those gem shops and the 'special holiday' deals are the tuk-tuk driver's meal ticket when he picks up a clueless foreigner. Chatuchak IS a good suggestion, but mind your valuables. Pickpockets and scams abound. But most of all, thanks for the tip on Pad Thai (Pad being likely pronounced as in 'Dad'). I always thought you had to go to Nicaragua for Pad Thai. Who knew? Maybe next time, try seeing a little bit of the real Thailand, let alone Bangkok...— July 29, 2009 2:55 p.m.
