A note to our readers

Hey --
Another 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),
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
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.

We thank them all. What did we come up with?


Iraq War veteran Jonathan Pruden.
Michael Ratner racks up another truest.
We believe this is the first time anyone with The Atlantic has been awarded a "truest."


It really is amazing how in the tank the US press is.  

You wanted a CW overview, Ava and C.I. give you one.  This is both a hard hitting look as well as basic reporting -- something Ava and C.I. know how to do even if the Water Cooler Set doesn't.  When's the last time you read Bill Carter or any of the Docker Boys writing about what the affiliates want?  Exactly.  Great piece.

The finale is this Wednesday.  I (Jim) already was informed by Dona that I'll be watching our baby solo when this broadcasts.  Dona and Ty roundtable on the series with Ann and Rebecca.

A short feature.

Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox was our pick this week.

There's what Barack Obama tells the people and what he tells Congress.

A repost of Cedric and Wally's song parody paired with an Isaiah comic.
We heard the song performed by Jenkins while listening to Cindy's Soapbox and thought we had a video to please those e-mailing for us to share more videos.

Senators Patty Murray and Richard Burr lead the call for dignified burials.

Jill Stein is campaign for the Green Party's presidential nomination.

Repost from Workers World.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.





Peace.

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