• Truest statement of the week

Only one truest. We think it's the strongest.

• Editorial: If this is a democracy . . .

We considered Iraq but decided this has received too little attention all month from various outlets.

• Radio: That not-so Fresh Air

Instead of TV, Ava and C.I. tackle radio and this is a lengthy piece with a ton of links and sourcing. They worked their ass off. They had offered Ann the opportunity to jump in on this since she covers Fresh Air at her site but she'd asked them to cover this Thursday (when she heard the show) and she assumed this would be a very lengthy piece (as it was). Ava told me (Jim), don't expect anything else from them. If it's a tough edition, they're not going to have it in them to do one more or two more articles.

• Iraq elections

Last piece written. Almost didn't include Iraq, believe it or not. For a number of reasons -- none related to Iraq. We'll probably roundtable next week.

• Steamrolled
  

ObamaCare sucked all the time and so many important stories never got covered because every one was too busy trying to sell ObamaCare. This is one example.

• About that 'amazing' ObamaCare

If it's so great, why did this get said in Congress?

• ObamaCare

Repost from Great Britain's Socialist Worker on ObamaCare.

• Laura Lying Flanders

Repost from Mike. Can you tell we're tired. Usually when I type this up, I'm including various comments that are being made as I write the note but this week, everyone's just tired ("And blah," says Dona).

• Highlights
  

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.
That's it,we're exhausted and we'll see you next week.

Peace.
