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?
Michael Ratner was a truest choice when we saw his column last Monday. Only more so when Ava and C.I. finished their TV article.
Doug Bandow also earned a truest and did so demonstrating that the truth can be told about Nouri.
Barack's got a plan for this week. A captive audience which will be ordered to applaud him at Fort Bragg as Barry pretends he has ended the US occupation of Iraq.
Ava and C.I. asked, "Can we cover something we caught on public access?" Sure, we all said. I (Jim) did ask what it was? A film starring Naomi Wolf. I knew it would be a must-read and it is.
Dona's been trying to get us to do a piece on Archie comics for some time. She did a very rough draft of this the week of Thanksgiving and passed it on to Ava and C.I. to use if needed. As they noted, they didn't want to finish it out ("poach it"). So Dona finished it up and we offer it now.
He really isn't and we'll probably hit on this next week as well.
You can hate a person. That's fine. But to stereotype an entire people? That's bigotry. And we're not in the mood for it.
This came in to the public account and we're happy to note it.
An important move by the Chair of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee and the Ranking Member.
A repost from Workers World.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.
Peace.
