A note to our readers

Hey --

Another Sunday and along with Dallas, the following helped with 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),
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.

We thank everyone. And what did we come up with?

Truest statement of the week -- Bob Somerby.

Truest statement of the week II -- Cindy Sheehan.

Editorial: When all the lies are exposed -- This isn't exactly the editorial we had planned. Our plan was to consider the issues Cindy Sheehan raised in an online piece (see truest II), however, the essay is no longer at her site. Is that an accident? Or does she want to delete it completely? We didn't know so we took a different approach.

TV: Hank Tanks -- I told Ava and C.I. that this was more than enough. This is a piece on one TV show and it will please the longterm readers. They were afraid it didn't do enough and that and the fact that we were so far behind this edition led Ava and C.I. to do another feature this edition.

The Carly Roundtable -- As long promised, the Carly Simon roundtable. Remember her new album comes out Tuesday, Never Been Gone.

The Idiot Barack (Ava and C.I.) -- The bonus from Ava and C.I. They were adament that this had to be written because all last week everyone took a pass on covering the issue. So they did this as a bonus.

The gas bag journals -- Here we examine the main points various opinion journals are making.
Iraq

You can judge a book by its cover -- Turns out you can. Read it and weep.

Highlights -- Mike, Elaine, Betty, Rebecca, Ruth, Kat, Marcia, Stan, Cedric, Ann and Wally wrote this and we thank them for it.

And that's the edition. We'll see you next time.
