A note to our readers

Hey --

Another late Sunday.


First up, we thank all who participated this edition which includes Dallas and the following:

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.

And what did we come up with?

James Fallows on NPR.
Rickie Lee Jones. And there's lots more in that interview. Considering streaming it.

C.I. didn't work on this editorial. We asked her to type up the roundtable instead. That's because we wanted to note she was right again. And it's past time AP issued their correction for their story which has now turned out to be false. Dona asked me (Jim) about my two quotes in there: "Why are you griping at our readers? They don't walk away from The Common Ills." That's true. Also true, we have drive-by readers. Equally true, I know the three reporters who wrote to whine last week will be reading the editorial and I'm also speaking to them.
Ava and C.I. take on Ringer, bad make up and Barack.
This is number five in our pick of the 10 most important books of the last ten years. There are five more picks left.

We roundtable on war and peace.
Congratulations to World Cafe on 20 years.
Still on war and peace.

A look at Law & Disorder Radio.

A press release from Senator Patty Murray's office.
A repost from Workers World.

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.


And that's what we came up with. Hopefully something for you to enjoy.


Peace.

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