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."

Truest statement of the week II
In the hour-long, sometimes rambling White House press conference, Obama stated, “We fumbled the rollout on this health care bill.” The previous day, the administration had finally released enrollment figures for the health care exchanges, which were abysmal. In its first month, the federal and state exchanges signed up only 106,185 people combined, falling far short of the 500,000 the administration had hoped to sign up in October.
