A note to our readers

Hey --

Another Sunday. And we're late again.


First up, we thank all who participated this edition which includes Dallas and the following:

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 what did we come up with?

Betty let it rip. Go Betty.

Bruce A. Dixon had a strong column at Black Agenda Report.

Panetta told the truth. Nouri's spokesperson admits that, while attempting to deny it. Where is the coverage.


Ava and C.I. explore when sitcoms work and when they don't.

I (Jim) saw C.I. type a sentence about this topic in a primer on The Cult of St. Barack and I said, "Woah! A sentence! That's a whole article! Let me have it for Third." And she kindly did. Conflict of interest? That would be co-writing a speech and then praising it publicly without admitting that you co-wrote it.

The Ron Paul campaign has raised over 1.7 million dollars in less than two days.

Our e-mail roundtable. Covering topics and questions you raised.

Our piece on the Turkish military's non-stop bombing of northern Iraq.

Law & Disorder Radio is one of our favorite programs and worthy of another highlight.
This is the epic C.I. was writing Saturday while I read over her shoulder and from which I pulled two things for this edition.

A video Adam Kokesh has posted of out of control police in DC.

A repost from Workers World.
A repost from Great Britain's Socialist Worker.

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.



That's all we got.

Peace.

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