A note to our readers

Hey --

Another Sunday, a dreadful writing edition. First up, who worked on this edition:


The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, and Ava,
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),
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.


We thank them all. What did we come up with? Not a whole lot.
Roseanne easily earned top honors this week.
As did Patrick Kennedy.
The editorial? We actually like it. We fine tuned it and made it presentable. Everyone worked on this.

Ava and C.I. had a mountain of things they wanted to cover including a talk show. They may tackle the talk show next week. But they tackled some serious issues and did so really well. We knew this was the strongest piece in the edition even when we had nothing else to show.

Cobbled together by splicer Jess, this pulls from six different pieces but reads like it was actually written as one. Everyone worked on this. Thank you. And thank you to Isaiah for allowing us to use his comic.

Thank you to Mike who took a break during the edition (that was going nowhere) and came back with, "Hey, I just took a Zogby poll and . . ." This short feature resulted. Thank you, Mike. Ava and C.I. did not work on this because they were too busy trying to piece together something, anything to fill in the gaps.


We asked for an Academy Award feature. Yeah, they said, they could do that. They would do it. They knew we needed to fill in the holes. But they'd also do a political piece. Which is this one.

And hear is their Oscar piece. Enjoy.

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it. We thank everyone who helped this week and we especially thank Ava and C.I. for writing three articles thereby allowing us to finally end this never-ending writing edition.

We'll see you next week.

-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
