Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.


"I Hate The War" and "Sir Talks A Lot" -- the two most requested highlights by readers of this site and Ty asked us to note that the latter is to be credited to Ava and C.I. (C.I. wrote it based on observations she and Ava made about the State of the Union address and they wanted it written to avoid Jim assigning them the State of the Union for this edition).

Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "State of the Union" -- Isaiah's highly popular comic on the State of the Union address.


"Rice Casserole in the Kitchen" -- Trina offers a recipe and a look at reality.

"United Steelworkers sells out workers" -- And we're also placing high Trina's explanation about unions. All of us are pro-union. We are not, however, pro-union selling out the workers.


"Animation" -- Betty discusses a talent she wishes she had.

"Oh, how they copy" -- Ruth noting photo copies as opposed to the real deal.

"Screw Flanders and screw Nader" -- Elaine speaking the truth.

"Netflix" -- Stan on the problems.

"Iraq snapshot," "Diane," "continuing c.i., i grab goodman," "Ricks, Rosen, Vessar and the rest of the creeps," "Grab bag" and "2 women, 4 men" -- C.I. started a discussion and Trina, Rebecca, Marcia, Elaine and Ann continue it.

SIR TALKS A LOT!," "That awful speech," "The NewsHour: Failing at the Fact Check," "oh, gloria feldt, give it up already" and "Genius of the week" -- some of the State of the Union coverge in the community -- Ava & C.I.
