Hey --
It's Wednesday.
Let's 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?
Andre Damon gets a truest.
As does Charisse Burden-Stelly.
Ben Rhodes, even by his own 'standards', is flat out wrong as usual.
Ava and C.I. explore the new season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY and see a message and meaning others appear to be missing.
We offer our choice of the 50 best. See if one of your favorites made the list.
The first time Ty saw this commercial, he called me on the phone telling me to turn the TV on and go to whatever channel. By the time I (Jim) got there, the commercial was over. :( He went ahead and wrote this brief piece and, good news, he includes the commercial in question.
Ty and other African-American and Black contributors (Betty prefers Black) worked on this piece.
We all worked on selecting the 50 best children's programs.
An Iraq piece.
What we listened to.
Repost from Great Britain's SOCIALIST WORKER.
Press release.
Press release.
We posted on Wednesday.
Why?
Ava and C.I. (and Jess) went to the Emmy Sunday. Ava and C.I. had written their piece. But Stan was sick and so was Rebecca. And we were lazy. Next thing we knew it was Tuesday morning and Ava was on the phone to me, "You know that we [Ava and C.I.] will have to rewrite our piece if you don't get the new edition done and posted before tonight." Because another episode of AMERICAN HORROR STORY would air Tuesday night.
We didn't make it, so Ava and C.I. had to redo their piece.
Peace,
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
