The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

When War Hawks Lied
Dig if will a grave, you and I engaged in grief
The tears from our eyes stream down our face
Can you War Hawk, picture this?
Dream if you can a graveyard
an ocean of bones and blood.
Posturing fools strike curious poses
You'll feel the heat
The heat from the citizenry.
How can you just leave them standing on the illegal battlefield?
Don't you know people are dying
How many more will you let be killed?
I think you're just a War Hawk
Never be satisfied.
When did you catch the blood lust? This is what we wonder when
War Hawks Lie.
Look if you will at the faces
Don't you dare turn away
This is the war that was heavily sold
This is what we get when
War Hawks Lie
How can you leave them standing on the illegal battle field?
Illegal battle field.
How can you leave them standing on the illegal battle field?
When War Hawks Lie.
When War Hawks Lie.
When War Hawks Lie.
