A note to our readers

Hey --

One more Sunday.



First up, we thank all who participated this edition which includes Dallas and the following:




The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess and Ava,
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude,
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man,
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review,
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills),
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.


And what did we come up with:

An Iraqi woman speaking to Human Rights Watch.
Bruce A. Dixon.

Exactly how do you claim to be a feminist outlet -- Ms. and Women's Media Center, we're talking to you -- and ignore a Human Rights Watch report about the torture and rape of Iraqi women?  We can't understand that.


Ava and C.I. take on Ed Schultz in their latest TV report.

We go through the e-mails.
The Iraqis continue to protest.  Nouri has tried everything to silence them.  Nothing has worked.  They're strong. 
A possible new feature.  5 articles would not work.  Would not.  Could anyone think of something we could do quickly?  Ava asked, "How about movie posters?"  C.I. followed with "double bills." What are you talking about?   We'd recently watched Malcolm X so Ava tossed that out.  C.I. said, "Pair it with Madam X."  Ty quickly hollered, "Double Bills In Hell!"  
What we listened to this edition.
It's a preview of this week's Daily Howler.
A puzzle.
Repost from Great Britain's Socialist Worker. 

Repost from Workers World.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it. 


Peace.

-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
