A note to our readers

Hey --


A Monday?

Try basically Tuesday.


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?

We rarely go with politicians for truests but Beto O'Rourke earned it.
As did Niki Tsongas.
Slimey 'independent' media betrays Iraq yet again.
Doubt it?  Be sure to read Ava and C.I.'s report chronicling the embarrasment of illnesses that is Pacifica Radio.  Ava and C.I. actually wrote a piece Sunday on NBC's airing of THE WIZ.  There were two paragraphs in it that I (Jim) wanted them to develop (after something C.I. wrote at The Common Ills clarified something for me).  They trashed their original piece and wrote this quickly.
Dona does a roundtable with those who attended last week's House Armed Services Committee hearing.
Ava and C.I. review Carly Simon's new memoir.

As embarrassing as Pacifica was last week, there was one bright spot: SOJOURNER TRUTH WITH MARGARET PRESCOD.
A question worth asking.
Repost of C.I.'s 'independent' media critique from last week.

Congrats to RT on ten years and on a damn funny (and pointed) video.
What we listened to while watching.
Transcript of Barack Obama's Sunday speech.
Mike and the gang did this and we thank them for it.



Peace.
