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.

"Kat's Korner: Planet something, but it's not earth" -- Kat takes a week off the road and does another review. This is a must read and she says she thinks there will be at least three more before the end of the year.

"Ruth's Report" -- Ruth's latest report. She's covering the FCC and pedophilia. Hitting hard like only she can.

"I married O.J." -- In the latest chapter, Betinna realizes with horror she's married O.J. Simpson -- a man incable of admitting guilt or his own actions.

"Dill Peas Chilled in the Kitchen" -- Trina is clarifying for the record that she is not anti-canned foods and she's also addressing the nonsense Tim Russert tossed Dennis Kucinich's way last week.

"Marjorie Cohn on DN! and a bad book" -- Mike provides the behind the scenes story on the book discussion.

"stacy bannerman & the facts of life" -- Rebecca sounds off about the reality of the output from too many female columnists who choose to waste their space.

"When Hillary won the nomination?" -- Anti-Hillary Kat (she says that's fine as a description) even found herself feeling sorry for Clinton after the dog pile last week.

"Medea Benjamin, female columnists" -- Elaine weighs in on the topic of the female columnists.

"Another non-gay Republican" & "THIS JUST IN! BUT HE'S NOT GAY!" -- Cedric and Wally address another "I'm not gay" Republican forced out of the closet.

Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Rudy G Wants Your Vote" -- Isaiah's comic take on Rudy G and his courting of the rapist vote.

"Ruth's Report" -- Ruth's report last weekend went up on Sunday. So she did two reports in one week.

"PBS' Expose" -- and at her own site, Ruth puts you wise to a PBS series worth checking out.

"Amy Goodman (Ava and C.I. filling in for Elaine)," "Ava and C.I. filling in for Kat," "Jim filling in for Rebecca with a light post" and "FCC's Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein on Democracy Now! Wednesday" -- Halloween night, Ava, C.I. and Jim (on the road so not going to a party) filled in for Elaine, Kat, Rebecca and Ruth. In all the posts, they highlight Amy Goodman's "For Whom the Bell's Palsy Tolls" and we'll note that here.


"The press that loves Obama," "Sleazy press supports sleazy candidate" and "THIS JUST IN! HARD TIMES FOR BAMBI, HARD TIMES FOR THE PRESS!" -- Cedric, Betty and Wally offer a joint-post tackling the mainstream media that refuses to call out Obama.

"And the war drags on . . ." -- readers and our pick for C.I.'s best last week.

"Ann Wright, Third" -- and Jim notes Mike's post summing up last week's edition.
