And what did we come up with?

• Truest statement of the week

US House Rep Bob Filner earned a truest.

• Truest statement of the week II

As did Cindy Sheehan.

• Editorial: Iraq in a week

Though the TV and radio work so hard to ignore Iraq, it's very unstable, very violent and not all what Barack's promised.

• TV: The fickle fate of stardom

Ava and C.I. explore fame, stardom and the revival of Dallas on TNT.

• Congress and Veterans

Dona roundtables with C.I., Ava, Kat and Wally about last week's Congressional hearings on veterans issues.

• Best blog post title of the week

We all love Betty's title and tried hard to think of  a way to really spotlight it.  We came up with this.  Again, Betty, pricless! :D

• Roundtable

I (Jim) host a roundtable on entertainment issues.  Let me note here that we had an article on McGurk and Chon that Ava and C.I. didn't participate in and that just didn't come off interesting no matter how many drafts, we also worked on a drone piece that we couldn't pull off, we attempted an Anne-Marie Slaughter piece tht failed and I forget the other big time waster that wasn't publishable.  I decided to call an entertainment roundtable where we used e-mails from last week for topics.

• From the TESR Test Kitchen

Lentil chips.  They should have been so good.  They were soooooooooooo bad.

• Murray continues fighting for veterans rights

Senator Patty Murray fights to keep veterans on an equal health care playing field.

• Jill Stein & federal matching funds

Did Stein qualify for matching contributions in your state?

• Pizza Plant Workers strike (WW)

Repost from Workers World.

• Highlights

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

And that's what we came up with.  We'll see you next week.  There are rumors that it will be our summer fiction issue.  Probably not. 

Peace.
