        I don't know James I think this week was a bit on the soft side, given what happen in PA.

          Good point, I probably should have alloted that more space. The problem is that I'm always trying to inject some variety into the feature as well, to avoid sections about Obama and Hillary every single week. I'll make it up to you when the Indiana primary rolls around!

      Great WIR James. I hate that I missed Grrrs comment on the food rationing thread. I think that would have been the first time he and I agreed on something.

        Nah, I think this might actually be the second or third pos I've ever given you. Thanks for the mention, James.

      Thanks James for YOUR contribution of the interview with Errol Morris, both for content and for the connection to source.. Its an interesting concept; I'm still baffled exactly how it works. It strikes me as something that could perhaps be expanded and developed in the "New" Propeller - the more live-on-line the format the closer it would be to the cutting edge.

        Of course you're welcome. We want to continue with this concept and expand it as well--for the next interview, I'd love to round up many more member comments and let you guys (and gals) do most of the talking.

          Yes! Thank you, James, for putting together the Errol Morris piece. Good stuff; thought provoking and insightful.

          Another great WIR, James. I always find at least one precious gem I had missed as the discussions unfolded. This week's tops for me was right at the end of your column. I had read the Earth's Hum article, but missed truthiness' truly hilarious explanation of the phenomenon.

              Thanks ET. I too relished truthiness's inventive (if hallucinatory) explanation for the hum.

                Well, ultimate credit goes to the inventive mind of Douglas Adams. It's sad that he was taken from us at such a young and productive age. For those who hadn't read the series, Supercomputer Earth designed by mice is from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Adams.

              Not good James, your reviews are consistently a recap of liberal remarks so the review stinks, again.

                  I try to be a non-negger too, Will, so I'll give you the pos instead. Wolfie's out there micturating in the wind!

                  Wolfie, to some degree the WIR will always reflect the political tilt of the community. But I'm careful to pull comments from both sides of the aisle. In this case, I'm not sure how tanglang's critique of Jimmy Carter or normallysilent's pitch for Victory Gardens count as "liberal remarks." Other WIRs have featured comments considerably to the right of Attila the Hun. So I'll have to disagree.

                    The John Birch Society is a Leftist organization by Wolfie's standards. Long Live Liberty! (or is that too a communist idea?)
