A note to our readers

Hey --

Another Sunday.  And look how early we are!  We've never been this early since our first year all those years ago.



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?

Glen Ford gets another one.
Bill Van Auken also gets one.
John Kerry needs to think about if he's doing his job before he starts advising Ed Snowden or anyone else.
The sixties and The Sixties.  One's a decade, one's a bad documentary.  Ava and C.I. are your tour guides and, for the General Hospital fans who've lobbied for a mention of the show for three weeks now, Ava and C.I. make a detour to include that daytime drama.



**********Congress and Veterans************* 

Did you read that when it went up?

It was longer.  It posted and we have no idea why it's gone now.  Actually, we do, we think we deleted a draft of this and deleted it in the process.  Ava and C.I. said there's no f-ing way they're reptyping.  So apologies to Wally and Ruth who had a comment that's not in here now.  (Ava and C.I. say anyone else of the rest of us who wants to retype can.)

Added 5 minutes later: Ava and C.I. have gone in and retyped Wally and Ruth's remarks, the piece is complete and as first published.

What we listened to.
Short feature.

There is no excuse for the latest X-Men to be a bunch of men holding each others dicks and making cow eyes at one another while the women are sidelined.
Yes, we waited too long to do another.
Go Cindy!

Senator Patty Murray's statement.
US House Rep. Jeff Miller's statement.
Socialist Worker repost.
Workers World repost.

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them.


See you next week.

 Peace.
