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."

The spook who loves terrorism
CIA contractor John Cole -- alias Juan Cole -- apparently loves terrorism.
Hence his latest garbage reposted by Robert Scheer's spook factory TRUTHDIG "Only Seven Die in the U.S. from Terrorism Annually, While 130,000 Die by Accident."
Only seven?
Only?
What's the acceptable number, John Cole?
And it was 14 killed in San Bernardino in December's shooting alone.
And that seven a year figure he uses?
Not very accurate either even if you leave out 2015.
At the end of last year, Julia Jones and Eve Bower (CNN) reported that "we compiled all terrorism incidents inside the U.S. and found that between 2001 and 2013, there were 3,030 people killed in domestic acts of terrorism."
That comes to 252.5 deaths within the US each year from terrorism.
What do you know, a spook who lied?
That's as uncommon as a sunset.
