This piece is written by Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude, Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix, Kat of Kat's Korner, Betty of Thomas Friedman is a Great Man, Mike of Mikey Likes It!, Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz, Ruth of Ruth's Report, Marcia of SICKOFITRADLZ, Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends, Ann of Ann's Mega Dub. and Wally of The Daily Jot. Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.
"Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts 'The 2010 Plan,'" "2009: The Year of Living Sickly," "Kat's Korner: 2009 in music," "Ruth's Report," "The Blackwater decision," "We CNN, we f**k ass stupid," "Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts 'Brownie Approved,'" "I Hate The War," "dems give republicans a 2010 election gift?" and "And it's the new year"-- we went back and forth over how to note this and then decided the headlines would make clear which are year-in-review posts. Why are we noting the above? Some went up Friday and we wanted to especially note the people who offered things to read Friday (when most of us took the day off). We also wanted to note, as Mike does in the last link, that C.I. busted her ass during the 'holiday.' So we've included the Thursday entries from The Comon Ills and the Friday ones that were not year-in-review entries.
