And what did we come up with?



Naomi Spencer.
Glen Ford.

Let's hope not, let's really hope not.

Ava and C.I. covered the BBC Arabic and Guardian newspaper documentary at my (Jim) request.  They did a great job.  Many people won't see it in the US and this allows those who wouldn't bother to stream it to have a good overview.
To get them to cover the documentary, I had to promise that we would work in somewhere that The Client List starts showing new episodes tonight.  So we ended up doing a TV roundtable.
I really wanted attention to the news out of Iraq.  How do we get that?  Dona said Ava and C.I. could cover a TV series.  I asked them what would bring in the most eyeballs and they said they could offer 'the treatment' to Chicago Fire -- they haven't done 'the treatment' in some time.  For Dick Wolf, they brought it out of storage.
A short feature.
Dona was clear that a TESR test kitchen piece would help but we didn't have time.  Ty and I had been writing Justin last week so we used this.
Senator Murrary's office issued this press release.
Repost from The Common Ills.
Repost from Workers World. 
Senator Murray's office issued this press release.

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




Peace.
