toastykittenApproximations of Comments Overheard on NPR:
"I'm a journalist, so I am only reporting on this and do not have an opinion on it." ("It" is the fact that the CIA is holding terror suspects in secretive "black sites" without any oversight. Maybe you don't have an opinion, but maybe you might have a conscience?)
Commenter: "We should do things like pull these people's fingernails or anything, but these people are terrorists and should not be subject to the Geneva Conventions and the CIA should definitely be allowed to operate in secret."
Commenter: "Wal-mart has been really great to poor women. I live in San Francisco and I shop at Wal-mart all the time and all the women I've talked to have said that Wal-mart has really helped them with their lives and stuff." (Meanwhile, Walmart got sued again. She neglected to mention that California's minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage.)
Worker for New Times: "We take a 'pox on both your houses' approach to politics."
