Hey --
Another Sunday. A little sooner in some ways than others.
Thank you to all who worked 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),
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
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.
And Dallas who hunted down links and was a soundboard and much more. And here's what we came up with:
Cindy Sheehan was the natural choice.
Both times, Cindy Sheehan was the natural choice.
No, the war hasn't ended. If you believe it has, you're suffering media damage.
Ava and C.I. tackled Rubicon this week. They toyed with doing something on Iraq but the plan was to have multiple features on Iraq. That plan really didn't come to be, sadly. But we tried. This is probably the strongest feature of the edition.
This is an Iraq roundtable and one of the planned pieces that actually worked out.
And this was the other one. The militarization of diplomacy finds a bunch of idiots (and sexists) spitting on Hillary. They don't know what the hell they're talking about -- as usual.
ETAN.
And Mike and the gang did this and we thank them for it.
We really wanted more and tried more. But attempts largely failed. So, in the words of Kat, it is what it is.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
