A note to our readers

Hey --

We thank all who participated this week 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 Betty's kids who we thank for many illustrations.

We'll note them as we get to the articles. The articles?

  • Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan offered up a humor piece with bite this week. Read it and prepare to laugh out loud.

  • Tuesday's hearing, where the cutting of health care for the military was discussed.


  • The two illustrations are done by Isaiah and we thank him for this.

  • Ava and C.I. wrote this epic piece and they asked Betty's kids which illustration should go with it? The illustration was done by Betty's kids.

  • Again, I (Jim) wrote this and had help on the polish and with the phrasing from Ava and C.I. I offered them co-writing credit but they refused. The illustration is by Betty's kids. We had a lot of illustrations and wanted to use them all; however, we didn't have enough new pieces. Oh, the illustration -- flowers -- that's with Cindy Sheehan's truest statement? Done by Betty's kids.

  • We're now starting to notice the advertisements. It may be time to "shut it down" when it comes to this feature.

  • Our music magazine survey piece.

  • The roundtable. We wish we'd had the time to go longer. Betty's kids did the illustration (two years ago?) that we always run with this. In addition, we run Kat and Isaiah's 2009 drawing of Ryan Endicott.

  • Kat and Isaiah and Rebecca worked on the illustration for this short piece.

  • I almost deleted this but, hey, we got done before noon PST or EST! That's an accomplishment!

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


Hope you took part in yesterday's actions. And hope you found something that made you laugh, made you angry or produced some emotion. If not, get thee to a Trekkie convention, you must be a Borg.

Peace.

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