Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Oh, Wikipedia, how we missed you

Last week, Wikipedia elected to go dark for 24 hours to protest the Senate's proposed Protect Intellectual Property Act and the House's proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the country was the sadder for it.

Mainly because they were unable to visit Crapapedia and howl in laughter at the 'facts' presented there.

Yes, were it not for Wikipedia, "the online encyclopedia," Americans wouldn't be able to 'learn' the Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page "attempted to kill a dolphin at the Baltimore aquarium."

As they used to say on Kids In The Hall, "It's a fact!"
