A note to our readers

Hey --

First, thanks to all those who worked on this edition:

The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, and Ava,
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude,
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man,
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review,
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.

And Dallas. We thank them all.

It was a hideous edition. Ava compared it to Fleetwood Mac (Rumors crew) being forced into the studio when they didn't even want to look at one another. Hmmm.

What did we come up with?

Truest statement of the week -- Cindy Sheehan won another truest. If she had any real competition this past week, I (Jim) didn't notice it.

Editorial: The ringing bells of justice -- Thank you to Ava and C.I. This was huge, lengthy and blah, blah, blah. They ended up taking the basic message of the editorial and restating it (our original version did not work at all). Credit to all for working on this but credit to Ava and C.I. for crystalizing it. And then some.

TV: Sister Honey -- Stevie Nicks on the brain. I actually love "Sister Honey" and, after reading Ava and C.I.'s review, thought that had to be the title of this one.

That so-called 'recovery' -- Trina worked on the editorial and this article. We thank her for her help. Everyone worked on this one.

What Odierno really said -- Ava, C.I., Kat and Wally worked on this primarily. Mike helped as well. The press? They were no help. They couldn't even report what happened.

Screwing the American music consumer -- All but Trina worked on this look at the too high costs of downloads.

Iraq -- Our Iraq piece.

Fads -- We liked this website and thought it would be good as a short feature.

Halloween (Ty) -- Ty's turn at bat with the Halloween essays.

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

And that's what we got. After way too many hours. We're tired to the point of being sick to our stomachs.


See you next week.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
