A note to our readers

We do read the e-mails! (Yeah, yeah, you all say Ava writes back, you all love Ava, we get it.)

Suzette and Kip both e-mailed asking if we could take a look at Reba. Kip reports that as a married father of two, with both his wife and himself in college, Friday nights mean staying home and trying desperately to find something to watch. Each week, Reba disappoints him more and more. Suzette notes that if it weren't for Steve Howie, she wouldn't even watch and that "Reba McEntire has to be the most irritating person on the face of the planet!"

You asked for it, you got it. Check out the TV review of Reba.

In addition, you'll find us noting a wonderful CD by Anais Mitchell: Hymns for the Exiled. Please check this out. We don't have Kat's musical knowledge but we know this is an incredible CD.

In the DVD report, we note Jane Fonda's excellent performance in California Suite. And Kip, we didn't rent that at Blockbuster, we found it at our library. So remember that our libraries are wonderful resources filled with books, magazines, music and movies (DVDs and videos).

We stay on the topic of Jane Fonda by highlighting Rebecca's Women's History Month salute to Fonda.

We also take a look at little Bobby Casey Junior and the Democratic party's shift to the right.

And no, your eyes don't deceive you, it does appear we've written two notes to readers. But we haven't. The editorial this week revolves around one reader who felt it was okay to object to the way he/she came off here but not publicly. Fine, we get people doing that all the time. What's not fine is that the person and their minions insult us with a "deal." (And that's being kind.) Read the editorial and while the person is unnamed this time, if the person and the minions pop up again, we'll be sure to publish everything.

Hope you find something of interest here.

As usual we had help from C.I. of The Common Ills and Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Attitude and Screed. We thank them (always). C.I. assisted with all but the two "note"s. Rebecca assisted with all but this note.
