That list also includes Dallas who helps week in and week out. Now let's go over new content.

"Editorial: Bully Boy's leaking but who will tell the fan club?" our editorial on the Plamegate news. Who's still buying the Bully Boy's fantasies? A few.

"TV Review: Mid-Sixties Men" Ava and C.I. swear this review may be a little too inside baseball. We disagree. We enjoyed it as a review even though we were frequently thinking, "Who?" Ava and C.I. wrote the review and only they wrote it. On the other pieces, everyone participated.

"Book Discussion: 2 Books, Don't Count the Minutes" -- to the delight of many readers -- the book discussion returns.

"Bully Boy Itches for Another War" provides you with more reading via excerpts and the question of can the war march be stopped this time?

"Tom Hayden on Sunday's RadioNation with Laura Flanders-Larry Benksy looks at the death penalty Sunday am-WBAI broadcast Waiting for Godot Monday night " advises you of three radio programs worth listening to.

"About the naming" answers a question regarding Scooter.

"What I Didn't Find In Iraq" by Bully Boy -- with the revelations about the leaks, we wrote this on Friday night. What would Bully Boy say if he wrote a counter-reply to Joe Wilson? We think it would read like this.

"A few thoughs on music" not an essay, more of a riff.

PJ's thoughts on "The Washington Post leaves us still Waiting for Lefty" attempts to give PJ a chance to air his feelings and to make sure the record has been set straight in terms of crediting/bylines.

And that's it. We'll see you next week.
