Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

'Religious' joke of the year

As 2010 starts, we take a moment to look back and we notice . . . The American Friends Service Committee. What are they?

Let's let them tell it.

The American Friends Service Committee is a Quaker organization that includes people of various faiths who are committed to social justice, peace and humanitarian service. Its work is based on the belief in the worth of every person and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice.

Get it?

"We're a Quaker organization made up of . . . nonQuakers."

So, in other words, they're not a Quaker organization.

And we thought only attorneys and phone sex workers played word games.
