Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "CIA Diva" -- Isaiah takes on Panetta.



"Senator Burris is cleared" -- if this weren't the fiction issue, we'd be covering the topic Betty is in this post.



"Snacks in the Kitchen" -- Trina reminds that one of the issues about being on a budget it grasping that you are on a budget.



"newsmaker of the week: gordon brown," "that wacky gordon brown," "gordon brown, not smart enough to stage an inquiry...," "thoughts on gordon brown & the iraq non-inquiry" and
