A "good long time in jail"? You're joking, right? You want him living next door to you someday after his release? so you too can be "collateral damage"? If not the death penalty, definitely life wit more »

Comment on: Nixon all over again? Not even close. - Opinion - The Boston Globe
PS Talk of impeachment is idiotic. You can't impeach on plaudible deniability. This would be a distraction from the mission: to take the Senate, keep the House in 2014, put an end to the Obama agenda more »

Clearly two law enforcement officials had enough of the political correctness keeping this from the public, that has been hearing about it through the internet for awhile. Look: it WAS Muslim terrori more »

I miss Woodward and Bernstein -- who never quit looking for the truth. This time it may be not so much "what did the president know and when did he know it" but what did the president encourage in th more »

OK, no special prosecutors then. Just some real reporters like Woodward and Bernstein, determined to get to the truth no matter what. It took months, and a constant repetiiton of the question "what d more »

Comment on: Nixon week at the White House - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Good job, Derrick Jackson. There are issues where liberals and conservatives can meet, like this one, like Wall St. bonuses, the occasional war. Let's just welcome that coaltion when we have it.

Comment on: Obama tells graduates to reject cynical views of government - Politics - The Boston Globe
President seems to be still annoyed by the rejection of his gun control bill. Too many Americans "get" the reason for the Second Amendment: fear of the power of Big Government.

Yes, bob! Lower taxes, use them just for clearly constitutional and required expenditures like infrastructure and national defense, then set an amount we must send to the charities and causes of our more »

Comment on: What if we could choose where our taxes go? - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Unfortunately, term limits requires a constitutional amendment, and that would take years, and requires some co-operation from those who would be limited. Some of us have tried, and learned, that it' more »

I may well be an "exascerbation", and an exacerbation too, at least I try to be, but attaturk knows nothing about me and what I think I owe my nation: first of all, a fight for fiscal responsibility. more »

Comment on: Letâs study Tamerlan Tsarnaevâs brain - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Hi nimitta. When I first heard about a request to autopsy the brain of the terrorist, I too thought, why not, might be interesting. What I object to in this column is the way it was set up by the w more »

Excuse me? Did anyone actually read this column, which is the most unworthy I've read in the Globe, ever? It starts with the story of Charles Whitman, and the information that autopsy found that "so more »
