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."

Tweet of the Week?

If you want to follow Iraq in the US media, lots of luck.

As The Common Ills noted Saturday night, you could read about Senator John McCain visiting Iraq Saturday in the Iraqi media or at McCain's Twitter feed.

You could find that information publicly, you just couldn't find the US press reporting on it.

Are we still confused about how badly the American press misinforms on Iraq?
