A note to our readers

Hey --

Yet 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.


And  what did we come up with?

A first for Vanity Fair, but what a good one.
Our own Betty. 
Hillary Is 44.
All these journalists killed in Iraq and never a word from Nouri.
Ava and C.I. take on NBC's The Sound of Music.  Which requires addressing the reality that The Water Cooler Set ignored.  I (Jim) didn't catch it but reading about the problems with staging, costumes and more, it seems really stupid for The Water Cooler Set to have attacked Carrie Underwood.
A look at some of last week's best ha-has.
Oh, Barack.
Oh, Tom.

The press ignores so much.
When Harry Met Sally . . . is our latest classic.  We might do another next week.  In fact, there's an argument that we need to cover three films next week.  We shall see. 
Ava and C.I. wrote this on Wednesday.  We repost it here today.

If you didn't catch Tavis Smiley's  program on Mandela, make a point to use the link to stream it or read the transcript.
Press release from Senator Patty Murray's office. 
Great Britain's Socialist Worker.

Feminist Majority Foundation.
Mike and the gang wrote this for us and we thank them.


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

Peace.

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