A note to our readers

Hey --

One more 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.

And what did we come up with?


Human Rights Watch.
Kate Randall.  Trina brought two truest nominees by Randall to this edition. 
History will not look kindly on all the whoring Barack's administration did for the despot Nouri al-Maliki.
Ava and C.I. chart three cons that are not catching on with the American people.  A sign of progress.
Protests continue in Iraq.  
Jess, Ty and I (Jim) really did have nothing but jelly jars -- Bama -- for glasses at our apartment when we were undergrads.  We had red plastic disposable glasses when we moved in -- and paper plates.  We bought three glass plates at a dollar store and bought a ton of Bama jelly without realizing, until we finished the first one, that the jars were actually glasses.  By the time we left New York, our glass collection was over 40 -- all Bama jelly glasses.
Short feature on Barack and who he sits down with.
We think what happens in Burma deserves some attention.  We also think there was something chilling and amazing about that photo.
Rebecca and Dona wanted this piece and they worked on it with Betty, Marcia, Stan, Ann, Ty, Jess, Ruth and me.
Another short feature. 
Ava and C.I. aren't big fans of  La Julia but if her profile was being profiled, they said they take on The Cloon.  And they did so.  Very well.
Repost from Workers World. 
Repost from Great Britain's Socialist Worker.

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




That's what we've got to share this week.

Peace.

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