A note to our readers

Hey --

Late, late and late. At the end of the edition, there were about 30 empty yogurt containers on the floor, numerous empty soft drink containers, remnants of shrimp gumbo, and everyone was on the floor ready to fall out.

Thank you to all 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),
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.

Turning to what we came up with.
Tariq Ali, telling it like it is.
Ibid for Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan.

This was two pieces that we merged due to time constraints and just wanting to go to bed already. Thanks to Isaiah for the use of his cartoon.

Ava and C.I. on Undercovers. If you've seen the show, you probably nodded throughout the article. It really does take two.

This was a longer piece that we edited and edited and may or may not have over edited.

We were coming up so short and Dona and I (Jim) pitched to Ava and C.I. that a second TV piece might focus on the fall season. They agreed to do a short piece that is "more musings than analysis."

A short feature. One of four attempted. This one actually worked.

A press release from Senator Daniel Akaka.

The gang wrote this and we thank them for it.

We'd hoped to do a roundtable this week. If you e-mailed asking for something to be noted and got an e-mail back that we would, that would have been in the roundtable; however, it will have to wait until next week. We're just too damn tired today. Our e-mail address is thirdestatesundayreview@yahoo.com.

Peace.

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