We thank them all.

Truest statement of the week -- Cindy Sheehan earns it hands down.

Editorial: When you've got nothing to sell, attack... -- Just say no to ObamaCare. Don't be intimidated into silence. This edition, we were all face to face and able to bounce off each other. So that was a nice change.

TV: He puts the cess in cesspool -- Ava and C.I. dashed this off in the final minutes of this week's writing edition. They did a wonderful job.

Idiot of the Week -- Barbara Boxer earned it hands down. Marvel at the extreme stupidity.

Hate Speech Radio (Ava and C.I.) -- Ava and C.I. covered this topic and, in doing so, were able to grab several topics on our list. This is a powerful piece.

The Proposal as a feminist statement -- And this is a great roundtable. I (Jim) have high praise for all the particpants in this. I argued that it should be high up in the mix and did so because I was really impressed with what they did.

Roundtable -- This is my pity party. And thanks to everyone who made it work as a roundtable. That's Dona who rescued it at the end and that's everyone who participated in any part.

How to ensure that your party is seen as a joke -- Our Green party feature.

Week three -- The role of the press is to hold the powerful accountable. In this lop-sided narrative, the press has decided to go after the people.

Why the left shouldn't recruit right wingers -- A lesson to be learned if you[ll pay attention.

Highlights -- Mike, Elaine, Kat, Betty, Cedric, Stan, Marcia, Ruth and Rebecca wrote this and we thank them for it.

And that's the edition. We're hoping to finish the American Dad feature next week. We'll see you then.

-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
