Highlights

This piece is written by Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude, Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix, Kat of Kat's Korner, Betty of Thomas Friedman is a Great Man, Mike of Mikey Likes It!, Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz, Ruth of Ruth's Report, Marcia of SICKOFITRADLZ, Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends and Wally of The Daily Jot. Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.


"I Hate The War" -- most requested entry and actually a carthartic one for many readers who can now listen to a sell out for what her music once stood for and dismiss the embarrassment she's become today.


Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Swinging Prez" -- Isaiah's frighteningly accurate depiction of the world today -- just nuts, indeed.

"that awful press conference" -- Rebecca returns to the embarrassment of the Feminist Majority Foundation conference on Afghanistan.


"Greg Sargent's a sexist pig" -- We almost had a piece to explain the GOP strategy. Greg's all giggly (check the comments as Ruth points out in this post) about Carville and others targeting Sarah Palin. We almost had a piece this edition to explain what the GOP has planned for the Dems but time ran out.


"Barbra and other instruments" -- Marcia writes about music.

"Movies and thoughts on off-limits" -- Barack and his daughters, Stan ponders. And decides if you don't want people to write about your children, stop talking to the press about them.

"Stevie Nicks" -- Elaine writes about Stevie Nicks.


"Lovey-doves Mikel Weisser & Michael Hureaux" & "Michael Hureaux keeps working on the plantation" -- Marcia and Stan take on the enablers who make the world a worse place.



"Mandatory retirement for the Senate?" -- Yes, there should be and, like Mike, we'd argue when you're elderly and have a life threatening disease which makes you pass out and miss sessions, you leave the Senate.

"Another tax cheat" -- If you want a job in the Barack administration, Ruth advises you not to pay your taxes.


"THIS JUST IN! STINKING UP THE U.K.!" & "The Duke and Duchess of Tacky" -- Tacky is as Barack and Michelle do. Barack's mama always said life is a box of f**k ups.

"Iraq and Sesame Street" -- Betty writes about a PBS special.


"chris hill, comb your hair" -- Rebecca comes out opposed to Chris Hill as ambassador to Iraq.

"Marvin Gaye, Claudette Robinson, Carlos Santana" -- Kat on music.

"Who would want Nouri al-Maliki for a neighbor?" -- Stan asks the very basic question.

"Blackwater Xe-ases out of Iraq" -- Elaine on Blackwater's latest we're-out,-we're-really-out-this-time action.

"Iraq and unmanned drones" -- Mike on the drones.

"etan, baby formula" -- forget "Don't Drink The Water," what about the baby formula?

"Corn-Rice Casserole in the Kitchen" -- Trina offers a very easy to fix recipe and notes the economy.

"Bells Are Ringing" -- Stan returns to his Friday movie posts.

"Who will be punished?" -- Kat asks and we fear the answer is "No one."


"THIS JUST IN! THE ORGANIZED LOVE CULT OF ST. BARACK!" & "Barack's faux public meetings" -- He gets more like the Bully Boy every day, as Wally and Cedric point out.

"Thoroughly Modern Cheney" -- Isaiah highlights his first movie-themed comic (from June 2005).

"Ward Churchill" -- Kat on Ward Churchill's legal victory.
