A Note to Our Readers

Sunday, Sunday.

Oh we're tired. We're waiting on Flickr. We'll come back in the note and provide details on what's here. Flicker's now taken 94 minutes to upload photos. We've posted what we can but are holding the other pieces due to the art work.

We're all tired.

Here's who did writing on this edition:

The Third Estate Sunday Review's Dona, Jess, Ty, Ava and Jim,
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),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz,
and Wally of The Daily Jot

We thank Dallas for all his help and we thank Rebecca for photo shopping, We thank Flickr for making us want to slit our wrists.

Monday. We're noting the edition finally.

We ended up having a theme and it was a comic book universe.

Arch nemises Teen Dumb Ass, junior division -- a real dumb ass. Makes us fear for English majors across the country.

Big Daddy Dumb Ass -- Tony Blankly, mother of all dumb asses.

The enemy within -- What's a secret? What isn't? The administration seems to think anything they can't prove must be cloaked in secrecy.

25 comic book super heroes -- a list that came about to note some of the female super heroes we've enjoyed over the years and also because we wanted to paint Storm, et al. Kayla has identified four people in the drawing, by the way. There are five. The fifth is a trick. Think on it.

Origins -- This wasn't planned as a roundtable. It became one after we sent those helping out to bed. This ran in the print edition and online, by changing the title to "Origins" we thought we could force it to fit the theme.

Highlights -- done quickly.

What's going on? -- our note that we were trashing all we'd done and starting from scratch.

Editorial: Ehren Watada's heroic stand -- if we're noting heroes, how could we note Ehren? By the way, we didn't realize our drawing had made him so "endowed." But what the hell, right?

TV: Boys' WB! -- Ava and C.I.'s piece that led to us scrapping everything. We smelled a theme.
