"I Hate The War" -- Most requested highlight of the week. C.I. remembers Farrah Fawcett.



"Gay and Lesbian Pride Month," "Farrah, LGBT pride month," "Stonewall and Beyond," "Pillow Talk," "Gay and Lesbian Pride Month," "Marge Maloney & Minnie Bruce Pratt, Glen Ford," "Not interested in Free Speech Radio News tonight," "Kenneth J. Theisen, Boston Phoenix,"
"Out FM""Sandra Bullock, John Kass" and "Roey Thorpe's a liar, a damn liar" -- June is Gay and Lesbian Pride Month and that's some of the community coverage last week.

"You water plants, you don't feed them questions" and "THIS JUST IN! WHITE HOUSE HAS PLANT!" -- Cedric and Wally cover Barry O's stage managed 'press' 'conference.'


"Bully is . . . petulance" -- Isaiah reaches into the archives to provide this classic from 2005.


"3 Bean Salad in the Kitchen" -- It's summer and Trina's readers are focused especially on foods they can fix for their children who are out of school due to summer.

"Blogging," "Farrah and childhood memories," "Comics, the disgusting Laura Flanders," "Naoki Urasawa's Monster" and "Out FM" -- Ruth is in Japan and Ann continues to cover for her. Ruth will return to blogging after July 4th. Ann has stated that when Ruth gets home she might need some time to adjust and get back into the groove and, if that's the case, Ann is happy to grab a few more days. Ann will also be subbing for Mike when he takes a week's vacation. Trina left for Hawaii yesterday and while she's on vacation, Jess will be filling in for her.

"the laughs keep coming with gordo!," "gordon brown on the ropes," "gordon brown, wonder woman" and "the do-nothing gordo brown" -- Rebecca continues her coverage of Gordon Brown's slow self-destruction.

"Perv on the bench" & "THIS JUST IN! PERV IN THE ROBE!" -- what happens when you put porn addict Clarence Thomas on the bench? You get the sole vote in support of strip searching young girls.

"Sandra Bullock number one at the box office" -- Instead of a comic, Isaiah did an illustration last week to note Sandra Bullock's triumph.

"DMZ: The Hidden War," "gordon brown, wonder woman," "Naoki Urasawa's Monster," "Re-Gifters," "G.B. Trudeau Talk to the Hand!," "Heroes Volume Two," "Mark Evanier's Mad Art" and "Warren Ellis' No Hero, ACLU" -- Tuesday theme posts on comics.
