And what did we come up with?

• Truest statement of the week

Joseph Kishore's had a truest before but he really nailed it this week, didn't he?

• Truest statement of the week II

And the editorial board of The New York Daily News talks some economic truths.

• Editorial: We support Barack Obama . . .

Yeah, I (Jim) wanted to make our loyal readers grab their chests and maybe gasp.  Could it be?  Was Third endorsing Barack for president?  Hell to nah!!!! We support his impeachment.  But I bet the headline made you wonder. 

• TV: The continued demise of the media

Ava and C.I. shuffle through a number of topics in this media mosaic.  This will please many.

• Roundtable

A brief roundtable.

• Truest online exchange of the week

It's rare that a mistake is made online and a correction comes along so brief and so accurate.  

• Book Excerpt: Hilary Rosen to the rescue!

We had planned three parody book excerpts this week.  Only one was worked to perfection.  But rest assured, we have the illustration completed for David Axelrod so we will be doing him next week.  We also plan to address dairy in another feature next week.  Everyone worked on this one.  Betty was the one who said, on the David Axelrod piece, "It's not working.  Shelve it and we can start anew next week."

• Crapapedia

Reader Regina caught this.  We thank her for it.

• We do not embrace sexism (Marcia, Ann, Ava, C.I.)

Marcia, Ann, Ava and C.I. on a get-out-the-vote.

• Life without water in New York City's towers (WW)

A repost from Workers World.

• Highlights

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



And that's what we got.  We tried to mix it up a bit and if we'd had the dairy piece like we'd hoped, we would have had a bigger mix.


Peace.
