Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Where is the love?

The ascension of Barack Obama from the cross to the White House was supposed to, according to followers in the Cult of St. Barack, herald universal peace, perfect harmony and give us love, love, love, crazy love.

The memo went unread and while DC yet again pitting various names against each other (Robin, Night Wing, Huntress, Bat Girl, Black Canary, Catwoman, etc.) in the Battle For The Cowl who knew the country's tensions would spread to Archie Comics?

Josie, Valerie and Melody throwing down against Betty, Veronica, Jughead and the gang for Battle Of The Bands Part 2?

As Roberta once asked Donnie, "Where is the love? Where is the love?"
