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.



"Ruth's Report" -- Another hard hitting report from Ruth. Here she's tackling the lack of Iraq War coverage as well as the push for nuclear energy from the 'left.'



"Potato, Onions and Carrots in the Kitchen" -- Trina supplies the developments on Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the Democratic presidnetial nomination.



"Psghetti with Pollitt" -- wanting to weigh in on Brian De Palma's Redacted took Betty off her outline. She says the next chapter will pick up where it should have last the week she had Betinna see Redacted. She notes that's why she sticks to her outline, to avoid "weeks of getting back to that same spot." We think she's too critical of her own writing and we loved this chapter.



Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "I Don't Heart Huckabee" -- Isaiah covering the non-likeable Mike Huckabee.



"The Ballet stands up when others get lost" -- our favorite post by Kat all week and it includes music in the discussion.



"Whispers and whisperers" -- C.I. unplugged! This was a draft of an entry C.I. did that wasn't intended to go up. Mike misunderstood and posted. It's a very strong entry.



"Law and Disorder" -- Mike discusses the latest offering from the attorneys on Law and Disorder.



"NOW, Isaiah, Sharon Smith, veterans" -- Elaine's not forgotten a 'non-partisan' that carried Bully Boy's water in 2004. As a result, they have the blood of many on their hands.



"It's a dog's life" & "THIS JUST IN! AMERICA'S DUMBEST HOME VIDEOS!" -- when Cedric & Wally grabbed this, they figured it was a way to do a few Bully Boy jokes and also didn't think it would be covered by many news outlets. The surprise was how many covered the topic in daily papers. Cedric: "We were making a joke. I have no idea how a professional reporter could have written about this seriously and not been ashamed of themselves."



"pelosi ruins the season" -- Rebecca explains that Scrooge is really Nancy Pelosi!



"Scott Horton, Chuck" -- Mike covers last week's edition of Third, Chuck, James Bond and more. Jim picked this as his favorite piece by Mike last week.



"Out-FM and Ballet's "The War Song"" -- Ruth explains how the song just grabbed her.



"And the war drags on . . ." -- C.I.'s toying with how to vary the Thursday "And the war drags on" entry. Next Thursday should show one change. But already it should be obvious that it'll be opening with more comment than the Sunday version does.
