Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.
"Prom Queen Allan Nairn is pregnant" -- each week C.I.'s "I Hate The War" is usually the most requested highlight by a huge number of votes. But Ty says the votes for this (C.I.) entry were "off the chain." Immensly popular and if you doubt why, just read.
Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Colgate Ready" -- Ready? Barack's Colgate ready!!!!
"The Morning Show's sexism is showing," "A sexist broadcast from Women's Media Center," "Comic, Flashpoints, year end," "Hey KPFA, where are the women?," "The Infantile Norman Solomon," "We'll have what he's smoking" & "THIS JUST IN! WE'LL HAVE WHAT HE'S SMOKING!," "Idiot and Coward Patrick Cockburn," "They Hate Women on KPFA," "WBAI's The Arts Magazine," "Ed Schultz?," "KPFA's continued sexism," "dahr jamail makes himself a joke," "Learn to act your age (or resign yourself to bad radio)," "Aimee Allison is a WHORE, KPFA needs to fire her," "KFPA's Morning Show tries to play catch up," "No ethics at all," "Karen Tumulty should stick to Bette Davis impersonations" and "E.P.A. pressures Diane Rehm not to cover mountaintop mining" -- Media criticsm within the community and, yes, you should be noticing more radio coverage. We're trying not to leave that to just C.I. or Ruth. Elaine's grabbing a KPFK show each week while Ann's grabbing a KPFA show.
"Meanwhile in England . . ." -- Kat covers news from England.
"Oh, sister" & "Another setback for equality" -- Bookends from Marcia. Both concern homophobia, one is homophobia aimed at her personally and the other is homophobia preventing equality in the state of New Jersey.
"Promise Her Anything" -- Stan offers his Friday movie post.
"Those shows with bad ratings . . .""Baby Bully Boy""The big news of the week""The depressing political games""Iraq""Huh?""THIS JUST IN! WHAT DOES HE MEAN?"
"Aimee Allison is a WHORE, KPFA needs to fire her""KFPA's Morning Show tries to play catch up""No ethics at all""Who suffers?""Those bad politicians"

"Barack needs his beauty sleep" -- After the attempted terrorist attack on December 25th, Betty's post notes, White House aides waited three hours before waking Barack to inform him.
