Highlights

This piece is written by Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude, Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix, Kat of Kat's Korner, Betty of Thomas Friedman is a Great Man, Mike of Mikey Likes It!, Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz, Ruth of Ruth's Report, Marcia of SICKOFITRADLZ, Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends, Ann of Ann's Mega Dub, Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts and Wally of The Daily Jot. Unless otherwise noted, we picked all highlights.


"I Hate The War" -- most requested highlight and if you wonder why, Ty tells us that most e-mailers made a positive comment about the decision to begin covering Libya as well.

Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Let Someone Else Lead" -- America's princess got called out, didn't he? Is that why the little angel stomped his feet in last week's press conference and snarled that he was leading 'all the time'? What a jerk.


"Iraq snapshot" -- C.I. reports on the Senate's Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, Federal Workforce and DC hearing on Iraq -- and the State Dept.'s plans.

"F**k Free Speech Radio News" and "What does this picture say?" -- Trina and Mike call out the silences on Iraq from Pacifica and NPR. Radio was also covered last week by Ann:





"The twittering Barack" & "THIS JUST IN! THE TWIT WILL TWEET!" -- As Cedric and Wally point out, he might be able to handle Twitter.

"Libya" -- Elaine on one of Barack's many illegal wars.


"The homophobic columnist" -- Betty explains she's tired of Margaret Kimberly's snide and dismissive attacks on LGBT rights.


"Yes, he is a dick" -- Ruth doesn't mince words.

"The sad and pathetic Janeane Garofalo" -- Ibid.

"Tom Petty needs to grow the hell up" -- Kat points out that we're all getting a little bored with musicians who want to sell tunes to everyone but have a hissy fit when a Republican uses one of their songs at a campaign rally. Grow the hell up or make it clear in all your advertising that you only want a certain type of buyer.

"Petraeus" -- Elaine on the new CIA head. (He's been confirmed since Elaine wrote her post.)

"They work together to harm us" -- Mike on the Dems and Republicans tag-team efforts to hurt working Americans.

"Just a make over" and "THIS JUST IN! WHO IS THIS????" -- Cedric and Wally document how America's princess needed a little make over.

"Cable news"-- Kat ways in on cable.

"Strike two for Julie Mason" and "Julie Mason, Learn Your Profession" -- Marcia takes on bad reporting.


"Raising Cain" and "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" -- Stan goes to the movies.

"the good news, the bad news" -- Rebecca breaks it down.


"Idiot of the Week" -- Mike awards it to the Dick.

"Bell Pepper Salad in the Kitchen" -- Trina offers a simple summer recipe.

"Green: Forever disappointing" -- Betty's not pleased with the Greens (silent on Barry's Afghanistan 'plan' but endorsing the 'rebels' in Libya).

"the funniest article of the year" -- Rebecca finds a hilarious article.


"I was hoping someone had stolen that Van" -- Stan on Van Jones.

"Lame Duck Turkey" -- Isaiah dips into the archives.
