and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.
We thank them all.
What did we get?
Truest statement of the week -- Who else but Carly Simon? Have you heard the album?
Truest statement of the week II -- Hillary is 44. We always mean to note that site and this week we did. There are two other statements in this edition that could qualify but we went with this pick.
Editorial: No, it's not journalism. -- This was almost a feature but Dona pointed out that if we were going to work on it at a time when we could barely keep our heads up and while we needed an editorial, we better make it our editorial. And so we did.
TV: The Forgettable -- Ava and C.I. take on bad TV.
Roundtable -- Betty's kids did the illustration. For all who will e-mail and ask if I(Jim) was tired, "Yes!" My head keeps falling to the side and I doze off and someone has to holler to wake me up. I just want to be done with the note, sorry.
Sexism And The Stupid Guy (Ava and C.I.) -- We asked for another feature from Ava and C.I. because the edition was running slow and behind.
Iraq -- Our Iraq feature.
10 thoughts of Carly Simon's Never Been Gone -- A piece just to note that Carly's album came out last week.
Idiot of the Week -- We couldn't overlook someone linking 9-11 and Iraq.
Highlights -- Mike, Elaine, Rebecca, Betty, Ruth, Marcia, Ann, Cedric and Wally wrote this and selected highlights unless otherwise noted. We thank them.
And that's it. See you next week.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
