"I Hate The War" -- Most requested highlight of the week, C.I.'s "I Hate The War." It's just on Jolie. We were surprised. We even said, "Ty, are you sure?" Even C.I. thought someone else would grab it this week and said it would probably be Ruth.
Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Barry and Totus" -- Isaiah's serves up a rest in peace for the recently deceased teleprompter.

"Friday wrap up" & "Bob Somerby, convention" -- Betty didn't go to Com Con Thursday or Friday but she noted her kids and her parents did which led to e-mails galore. If you're one who e-mailed, don't worry, those who went wrote an article on it this edition.
"Teriyaki Potatoes in the Kitchen" -- Trina offers two recipes and some realities.

"People Like Us" & "The Mamas and the Papas" -- Trina and Kat cover the supergroup of the sixties.
"Amy Goodman lies again""The silences and the ones who need to be silent"
"Dualism lectures from a dualist" -- when rallying against either/or, it's probably a good idea not to have set your article up as either/or. A tip from Elaine that writers should heed.
"Tom Hayden lies again" -- Mike offers a critique of the increasingly stupid Tom Hayden.
"Robert Parry tries stand up" -- Marcia's critiques failed comic Bobby Parry.
"Angelina Jolie," "Nouri and Barry," "Painted," "Hillary Clinton and Aamir Khan," "Isaiah's draws Barack and his teleprompter" -- Ann's posts at her new site and the gang has an interview with her this edition, just FYI.
