A note to our readers

Hey --

Another Sunday and along with Dallas, the following helped on this edition:


The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, and Ava,
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude,
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man,
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review,
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.



And what did we come up with?

Hillary Is 44. They actually noted us last week so we wanted to give them a truest (they've gotten truests before but they're generally a nominee and we often go with someone else because of an issue). We went with this one not because it's the post that they link to us in but because we were winding down the edition when C.I. and Ty pointed out we did nothing on Barack being heckled last week. We searched and found this from Hillary Is 44 on it.

Bob Somerby on Katrina vanden Heuvel.

A few weeks back, I (Jim) wanted to rip apart Quil Lawrence (NPR) but C.I. felt she'd covered it and covered it at her site. He's leaving Iraq and this is our opening farewell to Quill.

I write almost all the headlines including this one which, for the record, Ava and C.I. just learned of. They're not happy with it. "We were not calling the viewers 'dummies' and if it said 'of dummies,' we'd have no problem." Noted. But the headline is more like one of those books . . . for Dummies. Ava and C.I. wrote the article. If the headline ruins it for you, that's me.

A lengthy roundtable and we cover a large area of topics.

We have an illustration for this but we're having problems with Flickr. Ava and C.I. uploaded the iTunes image they use in another article this edition, but they uploaded that long ago (because, Ava says, we know it never uploads when you wait until the last minute).

Ava and C.I. review Danny Shechter's latest documentary.

Opening statement by Reininger before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

PSA.

Mike, Elaine, Ann, Stan, Marcia, Ruth, Kat, Betty, Rebecca, Wally and Cedric wrote this.

We thank them, we thank everyone who participated and everyone who is now reading this edition. We'll see you next week.



Peace.

-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
