Maureen Dowd NYT Thursday, January 22, 2004

What must it be like to go through life being that obsessively bitter?

In any event, it's nice to hear from the one person remaining who
still reads Dowd.

I guess you'd recommend Cal "Mr. Happiness" Thomas' column, instead? Dowd is
much better than the host of right-wing "Rushies" columns. Who says the press
is biased to the left? Seems like this is the pinnacle of right-wing columnists
and their insipid moralizations.

Insipid?? Meaning you have no taste for moralization? Personally, I think
a(n almost total) lack of morals/morality is a major problem in the world
today. Where do you think we get the Enron's, the Martha Stewarts, ad inf.??

Man that is the pot calling the kettle black! You want to improve
morals you should start with yourself and your website.

True, Morality , or lack thereof, is a major problem in the world today..
From The Liar / Robber barons of Enron, Worldcomm,
( see NY Times Magazine of 1/25/2004 )
to people using religion as a justification to destroy other people;

Still, somehow, there are enough good, honest, hardworking, careing people
around the world
to help one another get through this current mess...

biased

What on earth leads to believe I have any love for Cal Thomas based on
something I said about Maureen Dowd? I assume that means I was wrong
and that there are actually -two- people who still read Dowd--my
apologies.

Nevertheless, I did provide you with a jumping off point for a little
rant about "insipid moralizations" (whatever those are), so I guess
that's something.

Relax, Brendaa. I'm not opposed to ALL moralizations. I trust you notice I make
a few myself. ;-)

I AM opposed to the insipid specific ones emanating from many right-wing
columnists.

If this doean't satisfy your concern that I am rejecting ALL morals, let me
know and I'll attempt to provide a specific list.

OK. I invite everyone to carefully read Jeff's sentence. Who do you think is
messed up THIS morning?
