Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.
"US undermines 'democracy' in Iraq (despite lip service)" and "I Hate The War" -- the two most requested highlights of the week.
"Kat's Korner: The exclusion of Cher" & "Kat's Korner: Last Decade's Buried Treasure" -- Kat penned two music reviews over Labor Day weekend.

"Political speech" and "NPR's sewer mouth" -- Ruth's related posts. NPR trashed political speech last week but if you were to ask them why Morning Edition listeners were treated to "slutty" and "bitch" in a so-called news segment, NPR would, no doubt, insist "free speech!"
