Highlights

Our picks of community writing you shouldn't have missed.

"Choke a Moron and Send Him Packing" is Betty's latest chapter and, without hypnosis, Betinna's remembering.

"Baked Bananas in the Kitchen" is Trina's pick your battles essay. Highly enjoyable.

"Wednesday was one of the deadliest days for US troops in Iraq, but NYT missed that story" is C.I. commenting on how news takes a holiday when a reporter's star turn is more important than content.

"THIS JUST IN! 216-YEAR-OLD SPINE MISSING!" and "The missing spine" are Wally and Cedric's look at the current state of the Democratic Party.

"Jim Lafferty, Law and Disorder, peace movement" is Mike discussing the peace movement and activism with C.I.

"Dave Matthews, Mark Wilkerson" is Elaine explaining why she hated the Dave Matthews Band video collection and addressing the issue of how, even after you are dead, you can impact a life.

"Ruth's Report" is Ruth's latest no-nonsense report.

"Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts 'Bully Parkerr'" is Isaiah's comic on the stood up Bully Boy.

"cindy sheehan on trial means we're all on trial" is Rebecca weighing in on the case for peaceful assembly that may land Cindy Sheehan, Patti Ackerman, Missy Comley Beattie and Medea Benjaimin behind bars.

"Iraq Snapshot" -- C.I., Wally and Ty were in DC for the Robert Gates hearing. The snapshot notes moments from the first half.

"robert gates & dennis prager, both disgusting" -- is Rebecca's thoughts on the full hearing.

"Iraq Snapshot" -- you've heard of Pig Latin, C.I. breaks down Beltway Latin.

"Hype express hits a pothole" -- Kat explains where the Hype Express led to.

"Zohra Yusuf Daoud, Sunita Mehta, Women For Afghan Women" -- Elaine revisits the topic of Aghanistan.

"A rare solo entry" -- is a talking entry from Cedric covering The Nation and many other topics as well.

"The People's Iraq Study Group" -- so wonderful, so important, that it inspired a copycat. This is now two weeks old but it was fresh enough to borrow so it must still be fresh.
