Re: “The 'Star' Tries to Control Its Comment Section; Comment Section Nutjobs Get Mad”
I'm glad to see that right wing nuttiness will not dominate the comments section of the ADS anymore. I would occasionally wade into the muck over there, but it almost made me think that Bill, and Roy, and Elroy, and George and their nasty comments were a majority opinion.
Another funny thing, is these guys would often reveal that they live in Marana. They would point out how superior Marana is to Tucson. Really? Can Ina and Thornydale even hold a candle to downtown Tucson? Ha! LOL!
BTW, thanks for putting "Obama as Hitler" avatar" in quotes. Guess you guys read your Facebook comments.

Saw it. Terrific! My kids loved that book. I've read it hundreds of times. In the Night Kitchen was depicted there too.

Thanks for the clandestine answer. DC

Didn't miss it. Enjoyed it all day! My boy and I both love "Where the Wild Things Are" in both incarnations; book and film. Multi-generational entertainment!

Do tell, George W. If you can tell me one thing, other than provide a depressing look into the human psyche, that the Star's comment section does better than our paper, I'd love to read it.
Re: “The 'Star' Tries to Control Its Comment Section; Comment Section Nutjobs Get Mad”
I've now read your paper and looked at your classifieds. I'm not sure you ought to be making fun of anybody
Re: “James T. Harris's Followers Have An Unsettling Obsession With Racism”
Robert, I've heard this accusation flung out a number of times, but a past use of the race card by one party doesn't necessarily make it okay for the other party to try whipping it back out.
Personally, I think crying "racism!" is often a poor accusation, designed to deflect blame away from the initial argument, no matter which side is using it.
Re: “Your Handy Guide to the 2013 Senate Immigration Bill”
Why isn't President Obama doing something about all those children still held in jail in OUR country because of this immigration mess? I heard his wife the other day in her speech (she was rudely interrupted by a woman hollering something) but I remembering her saying " this was all about the children!!" And I think Mrs. Obama is RIGHT!! It is about the kids, and YOUR article is right on. Here are all these little children in our prisons languishing for God knows how long, and our government hasn't done anything about it. At least we can do is get them out and put them in foster homes, or orphanages, or...something. Anything is better than sleeping on those hard racks.
Re: “There's Gonna be an Anna Nicole Smith Movie, and Yeah, it's on Lifetime”
I haven't seen or read anything that mentions Daniel Day Lewis being in this. Is there something that's being presented here that's going right over my head? Please enlighten me. Thanks, DC
Re: “Militant Baker Launches Indiegogo Campaign for Body Acceptance Conference”
I would accept 5 out of 6 of those bodies.

The facebook monopolization of the internet is almost as ridiculous as SouthWest Gas customer service.
I have and will always refrain from that god awful extension of high school that is facebook, regardless.
Re: “The 'Star' Tries to Control Its Comment Section; Comment Section Nutjobs Get Mad”
I followed a link to this article from fb. The end is upon us. Flee!
Re: “The 'Star' Tries to Control Its Comment Section; Comment Section Nutjobs Get Mad”
KVOA uses FB commenting as well, and I cannot comment over there. It insists on posting my comments with my job title and company, and neither I nor my company take kindly to any association between my opinions on KVOA articles and their corporate self.

What can I say? I guess God Bless America seems to be the sentiment. And God bless the AZ Star, and the Tucson Weekly, and even the Yuma Sun! May God bless us one and all!
Sheesh, that God dude is sure going to be busy.
Re: “Grijalva: NSA Phone-Record Grab "A Serious Breach of Faith Between the Federal Government and the American People"”
Pesky commoners ~ gotta keep an eye on 'em or they get all uppity.
Lower their wages! And make 'em work 4 part-time jobs so they won't have time to revolt!
Re: “Grijalva: NSA Phone-Record Grab "A Serious Breach of Faith Between the Federal Government and the American People"”
Aw, gee, people, don't get your panties all in a twist.
If you don't have anything to hide you have nothing to worry about!
Well, unless you know someone or have called someone or have gotten a wrong number call from someone or know someone who knows someone or who also knows someone who may know someone who knows someone who has something to hide...then you could get swept up in an instant digital web of suspicion from the National Security State(tm) -- guilty until you can prove your innocence...
But, hey, ANYTHING for "security", right?
You want to make sure that nothing unexpected could happen to end your immortal lifetime. You ARE immortal, right? You'll live forever unless some "terrorist" sets off a bomb, right? Oh, you're not? Then WTF are you doing wasting the country's last dwindling resources on the Permanent War Economy(tm) and the GWOT(tm)?
Re: “Your Handy Guide to the 2013 Senate Immigration Bill”
Don't worry, don't even bother reading it... When it hits the House the tea-baggers will kill it dead, dead, dead...
(To dave francis: steal people's resources, destroy their local economies and some of those good folks, usually the most proactive and energetic, will come here and take some of it back...)

Sure makes it easier for the NSA when everything on the internet goes into the Facebook database instead of being spread out through millions of independent comment sites.
