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, Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends and Wally of The Daily Jot. Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.





"I Hate The War" -- Wally says C.I. wrote this Thursday and said, "Believe me, it won't be the most requested." It was short and C.I. was tired. But C.I. was wrong. People loved C.I. pointing out that even the propaganda outlet Voice of America offers more reality than Panhandle Media.





"Smoked sausage, Peppers, Onions in the Kitchen" -- Trina provides a recipe and talks the economy. Don't miss her comments regarding the FHA.



"Hillary Is 44" and "Talking entry" -- Betty's opuses. The first is on several topics and the second is more a family favorite. Both are bookends with connections that careful readers will discern.



"The Princess and the Institute" & "Princess Quitter" -- Ruth and Kat on Princess Caroline not getting Hillary's seat.



"Angel Face," "The Deal" and "Avoid Max Payne" -- Friday movie postings? What? Only Stan does Friday movie postings!!!! Actually, Elaine loved The Deal and wanted to write about it immediately. Mike hated Max Payne.



"THIS JUST IN! A WHITER SHADE OF PALE!" & "Colorado turns a Whiter shade of pale" -- Wally and Cedric on Colorado's decision to be prehistoric during 'historic' times.





"chris floyd on gaza ," "john pilger, robert fisk," "things to think about re: gaza" and "gaza" -- Rebecca continued her Gaza coverage last week so we thought we'd highlight all of it. (Like everyone except Kat and C.I., Rebecca took Monday off.)



"Hillary sworn in as Secretary of State" -- Marcia covering the news.



"Vincent Warren, Man The Hell Up" -- Mike calls out CCR (which needs calling out and needs to grow the hell up very quickly).





"Kat's Korner: Phoebe Snow's Journey" -- Kat's review of Phoebe Snow's Live.



"US still paying "Awakening" Council, Parliament has no speaker" -- C.I.'s entry that we love and hope to work in somewhere this edition.



"Mariah gets really scary and Bob Herbert joins her," "Thoughts on the not-so-special day" and "Inauguration realities" -- Marcia, Stan and Elaine on the not-so-special Tuesday.



"Liz Smith gets served" -- Ruth on Liz Smith's disgusting bulls**t.



"Politics, Animal Collective" -- Kat talks music and politics.
