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.
And what did we come up with?
Mark Thompson showing the wisdom his peers so sorely lack.
Doug Henwood offering a powerful commentary.
Next week, we hope to explore the topic more. It was supposed to be the theme and Ava and C.I. wrote their TV piece to match up. When it did not become the theme, they had to redo their TV piece.
But that's for the best because this is actually better in their rewrite. They take on the press, two new shows and more.
A nuts & bolts roundtable. Remember we do include the e-mails when we can. So if there's something you want answered you can always e-mail and suggest it for a roundtable.
Dona did a piece on workout videos before. So she and Ann decided to team up to review Jane Fonda's latest (available now at Target stores -- physical stores -- but not available at Amazon until next month).
We pick up our ten most important books of the last ten years series.
A brief piece on Paul.
We've been meaning to note Adam Kokesh's show for awhile now (as I point out in the roundtable).
Doug Henwood had great opening commentary, a great first guest and . . . then . . . he brought on Dorian Warren who dumbed things down and Doug joined him in the dumbing.
From ETAN.
From Workers World.
Mike and the gang wrote this.
And that's what we got.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
