Hey --
Another late Sunday.
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.
What did we come up with?
Tori Amos.
Bruce Dixon.
When I (Jim) read C.I.'s entry (noted in this editorial), I felt, "That should have been our topic!" So we back it up with this editorial. The US chose Nouri. Iraq did not choose Nouri.
They were actually going to do public affairs and Fox's new comedy, but Ava and C.I. started getting calls as soon as SNL started airing in the EST time zone. It's not live out here on the West Coast, so they made a point to catch it and they offer this analysis.
Jess saw the OpEdNews article and grasped that another Cultists was using the term "tough love" with no idea what it really meant.
Tori's new album is Night of Hunters, go get it. It's great.
We saw the headline and felt there was only one direction to go.
Christopher e-mailed us a great e-mail reminding us we hadn't championed public libraries in a while and that, these days, they're needed now more than ever due to the bad economy. We plan to do ten pieces on the best books of the last ten years you might have missed.
A press release from Senator Patty Murray's office.
A repost of Workers World.
And a look at the highlights of the week.
That's what we ended up with. And for those who missed it, shortly after the note went up last Sunday, Ava and C.I.'s "TV: The backlash whines 'poor men'" went up as well.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
