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."

Shame of the week

"Shame of the week" may be too mild for what took place Friday on KPFA's The Morning Show. As Ann pointed out, Aimee Allison, co-host, became the new Laura Ingraham. She did so by declaring of John Mayer, "Can you just shut up and play guitar."

Early in the week, we thought Joe Biden might win shame of the week, then Robert Gibbs topped him and we thought we had a winner. Along comes the Clown Face of Evil Aimee Allison and we end up with a contender so strong, she may be the shame of the year.

To be really clear, the answer for those of us on the left has never been, and will never be, to become more like the right. It's a fact that continues to escape Aimee Allison.
