Sunday.
First, 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?
Patrick Martin.
And Patrick Martin. It has happened before but it is rare for one person to get both truests in the same week, Martin earned them.
In January, will hit the 10 year mark. And in all that time, every editorial has been on Iraq. Until now. This issue is too important for us to not have it as the editorial.
Ava and C.I. agree and they were asked what topic could attract the most readers TV wise? They noted that the awful Jane The Virgin was getting a pass (due to the ethnicity of the cast) and it needed to be called out, that they could pair that with the awful Madame Secretary while noting that State of Affairs actually works as a TV show. Why are we suddenly worried about attracting readers? Because we want people to know about the Corrine Brown nightmare and maybe they can wake up Democrats in Congress before it happens.
In order to attract more readers, Ava and C.I. suggested we all work on a piece about this film.
Dona did a roundtable on the issue of Congress and Veterans.
Our short feature.
Two Benghazi pieces. This one . . .
And this one. Elaine actually brought the idea for this one over.
What we listened to while working on the edition.
From Senator Patty Murray's office.
From Workers World.
From Great Britain's Socialist Worker.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for this.
And we thank Isaiah for both illustrations of his we used.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
