And what did we come up with?

The protests continue in Iraq -- as do the attacks on the protesters.
Ava and C.I. cover a lot: Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and the CMA special as well as Joe Biden and THE MOODYS.
Another roundtable on a number of topics.
Book coverage in the community.
Next up? Four pieces on music. A groundrule: Each decade an artist only gets one album on the list. Sorry. Elaine pointed out that, for the sixties, she'd be voting every Beatles album ever. It made sense to limit to one an artist for each decade. Second, these are our picks. Disagree? Great. You should have heard all the yelling and arguing we went through to come up with these lists. Third, we didn't do this decade. It has 22 days left in it and we didn't want to jump the gun. Here are our five music pieces:
- 50 essential albums of the 90s
- 50 essential albums of the 00s
- 50 essential albums of the 80s
- 50 Essential Albums of the 70s
- 50 essential albums of the 60s
This actually inspired us to do the five pieces on essential albums.
