and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.
And what did we come up with?
Truest statement of the week -- Bonnie Erbe had the truest easily.
Truest statement of the week II -- But Chip Reid, under attack from the goon squad at FAIR, also had a strong statement.
Editorial: 2008 Lessons for the peace movement -- We can learn the lesson and chalk up the mistakes to needed knowledge or we can repeat the pattern over and over.
TV: The SchmoozeHour -- This went up without a title. Oops. My bad. Ava and C.I. wrote this and hit hard on Iraq because another feature fell apart. We thank them for that. And we love this. You will as well.
Roundtable -- The roundtable that lasted forever. I'm not joking. I (Jim) wish I were. But there's a lot in there and hopefully a few things that get your blood boiling or make you think.
Blaming the veteran -- Ava, C.I., Wally and Kat wrote this. We offered them a byline on the piece itself but they didn't want it. They wrote this because another piece fell through.
Single-Payer to get a vote -- A vote is supposed to take place. If it does, we will know where everyone in the House stands.
Reconsidering Carole King's 'failed' albums -- Each week we get asked why we don't have a music feature. This week we offer one. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it.
Coming up -- A coming attraction to give you a heads up if you're wanting to weigh in before we write the piece.
Highlights -- Mike, Elaine, Kat, Betty, Ruth, Marcia, Rebecca, Cedric, Stan and Wally wrote this. We thank them for it.
And that's what we've got. We'll see you next week.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
