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),

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.

We thank them all. What did we come up with?

• Truest statement of the week

Ruth and C.I. brought this one as a nominee.  We all quickly agreed.

• Truest statement of the week II

If we'd finished Sunday morning, this wouldn't be one.  It had enough votes but C.I. says, "No, pick something else."  Except when she's tired and just wants to be done.  That's how we got this one.

•  
• Editorial: Destroying their own credibility

The silence will not be forgotten.  Especially when the next big war comes.

• TV: When sitcoms preach, public affairs go funny

Ava and C.I. tackle sitcoms and public affairs and a crazed reporter.

• Columbia Journalism Ridiculous

Did someone say crazy?  CJR's actions last week demanded another parody.  I (Jim) wish we had more time.  Ava and C.I. weren't into this until they read what we had.  They said, "Let us re-write the Gina Chon part."  They more than rewrote it, they changed it completely and it is hilarious.  After that, Betty and Wally went to work beefing up the other Erickya Fry Daddy piece. 

• Congress and Veterans

Dona roundtables with Kat and C.I. about veterans bills in the Senate.

• Look what they did to Storm

This came from a reader.

• Tweet of the week

Roseanne gets this.

• Dumbest Idiot of the Week, Male Division

Is that really your answer to everything, David?  How tired he gets.

• Burn Pit Registry

The Senate discusses burn pits.

• Veterans still not getting education payments

Veterans in college are still waiting for payments from the VA.

• No war on Syria (Workers World)

Repost from Workers World.

• Highlights

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.  


Peace.

-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
