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,

Trina of Trina's Kitchen
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.
We thank everyone. What did we come up with?
- Truest statement of the week -- If you missed it, our theme this week is the Journolist. With that in my mind, we went for some people telling the truth about it.
- Truest statement of the week II-- See above.
- Editorial: Change you can masturbate to-- We love this editorial. This is the basic point C.I. has pitched for over six weeks now. Wally demanded we do it this week. And we were tired and Elaine, Ava, C.I. and Wally were really tired and, as a result, this editorial rocks. I (Jim) love this editorial.
- TV: Everybody is a spy -- Ava and C.I. were planning on grabbing another TV show this week but to fit with the theme grabbed this one instead. We think you'll enjoy this.
- and in it they note "Hillary Was Smeared First - DailyCaller, Race-baiting JournoList, And DailyKos DailyKooks - The Big Media/Big Blog Cartel," "'Call Them Racists' - The New Racism And The Political Importance of JournoList JournoGate; JournoLister Ben Smith's Delusions; And Scooter Libby" and "The Barack Obama Campaign Started "Call Them Racist" - JournoList Followed - And A Shocking 'Hooray For Tucker Carlson'!" which we wish we had noted in our group pieces as well. Our apologies and we'll note them in the note.
- Serving under Richard Nixon, Chris Hayes (Ava and C.I.) -- We swore we wouldn't lean on them but we did. Ava and C.I. wrote this and we thank them for it. Great job.
- Conason plays con man-- We all wrote this. Thankfully. Again we're still on the Journolist.
- Andrew Sullivan misses his own scoop-- And still on the Journolist, Sullivan catches Klein in a fib but misses another.
- The Whore List-- And wrapping up the Journolist, we have a list.
- Ty's Corner -- Ty did a Ty's Corner which really helped and which we thank him for.
- Lynne Stewart-- We cribbed from Ruth to do this update on Lynne.
- Highlights-- Mike and the gang did this and we thank them.
And we thank you for reading. We hope you found something that made you think, laugh, smile, snarl or whatever.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
