A couple notes on/for Ms. Parker:

1) We don't have "kids" populating the US Military. This is left wing condescension and cliche. When I graduated from basic training with 98 other fresh faced infantryman, we didn't consider ourselves "kids", we were MEN AT ARMS and damn proud of it.
2) Something About Mary was one of the funniest movies ever made, a close second to Dumb and Dumber.
3) Where is the rule preventing someone from appreciating the works of Dickens or Twain one day and the next day rolling on the floor laughing when a guys gets both "the frank and the beans" caught in his zipper?
3) Any man that has caught himself in his zipper, can appreciate the humor of the joke.
4) Ms. Parker sounds like a retread parent from that town in "Footloose", railing against "the corrupting influence of the devils music".

Get a life...

"In God We Trust" must be a nasty social conservative expression. As with Presidents Washington, Lincoln, and FDR invoking God and seeking His divine inspiration.

And to suggest that Gov. Palin's faith in God and the doors He will open or close, wasn't there a prayer the eve of D-Day that invoked a similar train of thought?

Oh, but let's not call Parker unpatriotic.

Who is the intended audience for Ms. Parker with this and similar pieces? Is it a liberal audience that would look at her messages with self satisfaction after the election of an extremely liberal candidate? Is it the quasi conservatives like Christie Todd Whitman and her ilk? Or, is it the MSM in the interest of more television appearances?

Dear Ms. Parker, have you ever heard of the porno industry It is head quartered in California. It is loaded with money, and has organized itself in clever ways politically, and gives mega bucks to guess which political party ? Ever heard of Larry Flynnt ? Hollywood has turned him into some kind of political hero, champion of the first amendment is his billing. He has been a guest the at the white house, invited by guess what president. Hint, not that repressed social conservative W. How ashamed we Republicans should be that our guy failed to match Clinton in that department. Surely there is a least one porno person of stature who is a Republican. Anyhow that scene in Abu Ghraib is more associated with porno than some silly Farrelly Brothers movie. You need to rent some xrated DVD's Kathleen and do some research.

There must be something wrong with me. I don't give a rat's patootie about Abu Ghraib.

Did anyone's head get sawed off? Was anyone savagely killed by nail bombs strapped to the waists of homicide bombers??

The important and scary and disgusting thing about Abu Ghraib is that the jackholes involved were not products of bad movies or even the US military, but were prison guards here in this country. They were deployed with the National Guard to practice their specialty, so to speak.

The scandal here is what kind of people we have employed in our prisons here. For better or worse, they are indeed better than the ones in Saddam's employ.

Three points.
#1. If you don't need to see a doctor for your injuries the next day, it isn't torture.
#2. Mental mind-f#&king;isn't torture.
#3. Kathleen Parker is friggin hot!
