And what did we come up with?

• Truest statement of the week

Cheri Honkala, the Green Party's vice presidential nominee.

• Truest statement of the week II

Glen Ford with another truest.

• Editorial: It Takes A Xenophobe (named Tom!)

We were toying with something else for the editorial.  When we started leaning towards this, Isaiah said, "I've got a comic I'm doing on that tonight."  So the comic was published right then so we could include it in the editorial.

• TV: Pig In A Poke

Ava and C.I. look at the DNC, The Diane Rehm Show, Bill Moyers new show and a lot more confidence games in their latest.

• As if last week's DNC didn't have enough problems

Rebecca said, when Dona was asking for short features, "Debbie Wasserman Schultz finally washed her hair but did anyone see that mascara?"  That led to this.

• Roundtable

We roundtable the political campaign developments of last week.

• Oh, Joe

Joe Biden was rousing, we will all give him that.  It's a shame he wasn't more factual.

• Big Lie Of The Democratic Party convention

John Kerry also repeated this lie.  We didn't include John Kerry.  Why?  We assume we'll be calling him out soon enough as the man who should have stayed home with his ailing wife.  SO we just focused on Rahm instead.

• Jorge Rojas on the realities of the American dream...

Repost from the Jill Stein campaign.

• Protests in Charlotte (Workers World)

Repost from Workers World.

• Highlights

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

See you next week.
Peace.
