Highlights

This piece is written by Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude, Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix, Kat of Kat's Korner, Betty of Thomas Friedman is a Great Man, Mike of Mikey Likes It!, Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz and Wally of The Daily Jot. Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.


"And the war drags on . . ." -- C.I.'s commentary was the most commented on last week and this edition includes a feature exploring it further.

"Betinna's new B.F.F." -- Betty's made an alteration to the outline. The Gail Collins role no longer works as Gail Collins no longer edits the editorial page of The New York Times. She's shoved over Collins' planned storyline to a character who appeared a short while ago and was intended as a one-time only character.

"Liver and Onions in the Kitchen" -- Trina's latest covers a number of things. And she (and probably others) gets short service because the edition is ready to go and waiting on this to start posting in full. (One feature is probably going up as we write this.)

"Jeff Cohen, Helen Thomas, Dennis Kucinich" -- we enjoyed Elaine's column in real time. Even before an echo appeared on Saturday. (See Betty's chapter for more on that.)

"THIS JUST IN! COWARD DEAN SPITS ON FLORIDA!" and "DNC Chair Coward Dean drives away Florida" -- Wally and Cedric continue to explore the shameful treatment of Florida by the DNC. We had planned to weigh in on this topic with a feature this week. The book discussion of the book from hell prevented that and has left us all scrambling.

"No, it can't wait" & "past time to impeach" -- Kat and Rebecca both agreed to highlight Robert Parry and offer different reasons for impeachment.

"Kat's Korner: Shine, Joni Mitchell's artistry intact" & "Kat's Korner: Stills & DiFranco" -- Kat completed her three day cycle of reviews (which began with "Kat's Korner: Grab the lifeline") last week. Again, we had a feature planned (music) and it went out the window due to the book from hell. For more on her reviews, she her "Answering."

Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Bloody War Hawks" -- Isaiah's extremely popular comic from last Sunday. Isaiah will go up on Monday morning this week. That's because C.I.'s helping with editing and plans to go bed quickly after the editing of the editorial is completed. It's already too late for the comic to go up "Sunday morning" even on the West Coast so it will be held until Monday.

"Reuters covers the peace movement -- badly!" & "Reuters covers the peace movement -- badly!" -- C.I. and Elaine's joint-post.

"Edwards and Obama go after Clinton" -- Mike explaining why two 'big men' trying to tag team on a woman won't go over well with the public. (We all agree.)

"Sick of all of it" -- How tired is everyone? Elaine who usually argues against even one of her posts being highlighted said, "I just don't care." That was to the suggestion that we highlight a third. As Betty and Rebecca point out, Elaine had a very strong week.

"Sad days for Bambi" & "THIS JUST IN! THEY JUST SHOT BAMBI'S DREAM!" -- Cedric and Wally address the 'sinkage' of Obama.
