Hey --
Yes, we're late but it's holiday schedule. Along with Dallas, here's who 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),
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.
We thank them all. And here's what we came up with:
Another one for Peace Mom.
Censorship on the left doesn't exist, right? Right?
We're all for equality and, in fact, if equality had been written into the measure Congress passed, we'd be much more joyful. But it wasn't. It's another Plessy v. Ferguson, a way to extract money and work product from inequality.
Ava and C.I. This is the must-read this edition. When we started writing, I thought there would be a rival for Ava and C.I.'s piece but time ran out. Next week, Ava and C.I. steer the edition. For those wondering about Naomi Wolf, she will be addressed next week. Also, I'd guess that Ava and C.I. will post on time and then some.
I (Jim) like this roundtable. If your problem is the lack of Ava and C.I., I intended to come back to them but we ran out of time.
Rebecca, Betty, Stan, Ty and Marcia wrote this and we thank them for it.
Keep the news of Lynne alive.
An action in San Francisco that Cindy Sheehan's taking part in and we'll do our part to note it.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.
That's what we got. There will be a new edition next week. Some of us (me, Dona and Ty) will be off. Happy New Year.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
