...Drugs Are Funny? So, when comedian Seth Rogen talks about taking illegal drugs in three of his answers to "10 Questions," it's hilarious [Aug. 18]? I acknowledge that his new film is a stoner comedy and that he has to promote it, but why should we find it amusing that Rogen is unabashed about his illegal (not to mention health-damaging) actions?

...Postmodern Pastor With evangelical christians routinely trashed by the media, it was refreshing to read your positive and evenhanded article on Rick Warren, a humble man working his hardest to make a difference for the poor [Aug. 18]. Now there's something that people on both sides of the political aisle can get behind. Andy Horvath, Elverson, Pennsylvania...
...Journeys of Faith I was deeply touched by John McCain's response when asked about his Christian faith [Aug. 18]. He told of his time as a prisoner of war, and of a North Vietnamese guard who was his Good Samaritan. It was like a window into the depths of his faith. His answer truly revealed just what type of person he is. Obama's account of his "Christian j0urney," on the other hand, sounded like a rehearsed answer at a news conference. In proffering his policies for various social problems, he revealed nothing about his faith. He dodged...

When our military personnel are dying in foreign wars, McCain dares to raise Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to the level of a national political debate. With the U.S. facing an energy emergency, McCain jokes about tire inflation. When your 85-year-old mother loses her General Motors health benefits because GM can't sell cars, you want health-care solutions, not McCain's juvenile critique of Obama's European trip. Voters must demand solutions...
...Obama Debate? I think Obama's reluctance to debate, especially in a town-hall context, stems from his not wanting to think on his feet, something he doesn't seem to do particularly well, with his frequent stammering and "wait a minute" efforts to clarify himself [Aug. 18]. When you can't be straight with people about what you really want to do, you get stuck trying to think fast about what you can say that will placate the large majority of people and not tick off your base. In Obama's case, that seems to present a real challenge...
