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.


"Invasion of the fools" -- Betty's latest chapter has Betinna grasping that her new 'best friends' are even more shallow than she thought and just when she thinks it can't get worse . . .

"Work" -- Trina's post. C.I. asked us to note that this is "really a major post on unions, the work force and the work environment. I was there working on my entries while Trina was writing it and I had no idea what it was about just that she kept pausing while writing it. You don't want to miss this."

"oh canada ..." -- Rebecca wonders what has become of Canada?

Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Donald Kerr on the job" -- an instant classic from Isaiah that resulted in a huge amount of e-mails from outside the community.

"PBS' NOW and talking music & the war with Ruth" -- Mike interviews Ruth and they discuss Iraq, music and just about everything.

"Are they your airwaves?" -- Ruth covering the latest shenanigans by the FCC commissioner.

"Played? By who?" -- Like Kat, we're all tired of everyone making excuses for Bambi.

"Danny Schecter, NBC's Chuck and Third" -- Mike covers Third and shares his love of the TV show Chuck. (Monday nights, NBC)

"Brother? I got a brother?" & "THIS JUST IN! AN INSPECTOR WHO DOESN'T KNOW HIS BROTHER?" & "Does he know he has a mother?" -- Cedric, Wally and C.I. cover the Cookie and Buzzy brotherly love.

"bill gallagher on di-fi and fancy nancy" -- Rebecca lets it rip on Di-Fi and more.

"Barack loving press" & "THIS JUST IN! THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN!" -- He's going to do it . . . this time. How many times has the press prepared us for Bamib's first baby steps?

"Laura Flanders, Amy Goodman" -- Elaine dubs this her "least worst" and says if we "have to" highlight something go with that and not our other choice.

"Fred Kaplan falls off his pony" -- Betty decrees "Instant classic!" and no one disagrees.

"And the war drags on . . ." -- C.I. reflects on the importance of Jeremy Hinzman and Brandon Hughey and the difference their stands have made.
