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, Ruth of Ruth's Report, Marcia of SICKOFITRADLZ and Wally of The Daily Jot. Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.
"ABC's in the tank with the Pentagon! (Or so a crackpot e-mails)" -- most requested highlight. C.I. writing about a dumb ass who really pissed the community off.
"Ruth's Report" -- Ruth explaining how hard it is to support Panhandle Media. (Though they do keep begging.)
"Kat's Korner: Linda Ronstadt, the very best" -- Kat explores The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt.
"It is what it is" -- Kat's mamoth post about just how pissed off we all are.
"THIS JUST IN! TEACHING 'PROGRESSIVES' TO READ!" & "Teaching 'progressives'" -- Wally and Cedric break it down for the e-mail 'buddy' Tom Hayden. (More on that front in this edition.)
"Thoughts," "talking post," "go read kat!," "Nut Job and other irks,""It is what it is,"
"Sick of it, that's me," "Weekend," "Nader, 1969: "Canada to Admit Any U.S. Deserter"," "Talking post" and "Dave Zirin interviews Nader" -- Trina, Rebecca, Ruth, Marcia, Elaine and Mike weigh in on the 'helper' in Canada. (Betty chose not to write this weekend: "I'm not in the mood for some piss-ant showing up to scream that something was written when it wasn't written. Especially when he self-presents as speaking for an organization that he doesn't speak for. He's pissed about the Corey Glass piece that he didn't bother to read? Fine by me, I cross-posted it, it'll be the top post at my site for two weeks. Don't try to abuse this community, run this community or boss us around. Go tape another video, it's really all you can 'offer.'")
"Amy Goodman, selling it for the Aspen Institute" -- Kat breaks it down on Goody and the Aspen Insitute. (Ava and C.I. cover this topic in their TV commentary this week as well.)
"Barack closes his make up case" & "THIS JUST IN! BARACK GIVES UP THE MAKE UP!" -- Cedric and Wally comment on Barack's decision to give up lip gloss in public.
