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."

Jim's World to Joel Wing
Joel Wing doesn't know how to go away. Even after last week's "Jim's World" when I told him to stop sniffing around my crotch.
I'm not your friend, Joel.
I am C.I.'s friend and, you can ask her, I always tell her, "You spend too much time on those e-mails." And she does. Even now with about eight people working the e-mails for her, she's still trying to read as many as possible that come into The Common Ills.
Here?
I've said from day one, we're not running a pen pal agency.
You have a problem, e-mail.
After that we don't need to hear from you again.
We put out a weekly edition. The writing here is what we are judged upon -- not whether or not we were good pen pals.
Joel Wing, you have a website.
I'm aware you've used it to trash C.I.
She didn't give a damn when I told her about it, she actually laughed and then changed the subject.
She's probably not given it a second thought.
She's not obsessive the way you are, Googling yourself to find out what everyone says.
I don't like you. You're just going to have to deal with that.
I have nothing to say to you.
You have a website. If you want to sound off, do so there.
I don't desire a correspondence with you.
I didn't open your e-mail. I'm not going to.
Stop writing.
You got a reply, my piece last week.
You're not getting a pen pal.
Like I said, stop sniffing my crotch.
