Hey --
Wednesday morning. And votes are still being counted.
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,
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,
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?
Ajuma Baraka gets another truest.
Michael K. Smith gets a truest.
It's really time that THE NATION was held accountable for their actions.
Ava and C.I. wrote their piece on Sunday. We did a quick stripped down edition to get this up tonight because Ava and C.I. informed me (Jim) Tuesday morning that their piece was being posted regardless of whether we had anything else to go with it. This is a great piece, by the way. They note that CONNECTING has been canceled (yesterday) and that they may not ever note it (they had planned this week's piece to be about it, as they note in the opening of this piece).
Ann and Jess worked on this one and we really thank them for it.
If you can't stand up for what you believe in, you're begging to be treated like a doormat.
John Stauber. He got the Tweet of the week. He was supposed to get a truest. Why didn't he? We were going to highlight him from this article that C.I. noted in Tuesday's snapshot. But? The page won't display. We can't get the title of the article. We can't get anything except "Error 522."
Iraq.
What we listened to while working on this.
I had wanted a roundtable. Ava and C.I. said "NO!" They didn't want to take part (or take notes on) what they were sure would turn into a lot of gas baggery about who would win what in tonight's election.
Peace,
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
