James Poniewozik asks, "has America lost its sense of humor?" [July 28]. Yes, thanks to this Administration's successful politics of fear, division and deceit. Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, et al provide those who did not re-elect Bush with not only comic relief but also much appreciated validation. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died for no apparent reason. And hundreds of thousands of American voters remain devoted to the Administration that caused this carnage.

All economies are in a slump. Radicalism, terrorism and extremism are rife from Colombia to Sri Lanka. And I fail to understand how a small group of extremists in a corner of one Pakistani province can be the greatest threat...
Never before had I heard myself described in such a comparative manner, and I felt, frankly, like a weirdo. Inspired by the weight of his recent revelation, Masso signaled my hair. Ah yes, Asian hair: that straggly, limp mass of long black material sprouting from my skull. What was I? Where did this thing, this anomaly, come from...
