So what should we call culturekitchen's "Week In Review"? The leftovers?


[via What happens to the Barely Legal XXXtian Girls in the next chapter at Pandagon]

Am asking.

Seriously.

I'm inundated with cards of people who want to keep up with the site. A weekly update is in order. I mean, look at what we've done this week while I was away :

On Monday I published, There are no mommy wars when the real war is at home. Although I have not caught up to JJ's comment, I've actually had a number of women and men emailing privately or stopping me in my neighborhood to tell me aside what JJ said in the comments : They're going through their own versions of the same. You read that right, men and women. So that one gender assumption of mine, is ... well ... ahhh ... hmmmm .... the point is totally taken.

I'll have more to say about that soon.

Tuesday I was again out in Washington DC at the Cable Television Public Affairs Association 2006 Forum. My ego was stroked verily and in more ways than one when I was called a "hero" by a couple of the attendees. This, even after I warned the roomfull of attendees that in the battle waged between the cables vs. telcos for control of the internet, to most bloggers they both were technically the enemy. Even after that, they thanked me profusely for the presentation. The topic? We the media. My slides (yes people, I powerpointed!) will be forthcoming.

Words to live by

Two prominent Democrats lament the degradation of civil
discourse in graduation addresses:

Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles,
told University of Southern California graduates it was "poisoning our
politics."

Mark Warner, former Virginia governor speaking at Wake
Forest University, criticized the "personal and partisan attacks" and
"complex issues reduced to easy-to-digest sound bites."

"No one — no one — in politics has a monopoly on virtue,
on patriotism,
or most importantly, on the truth," Mr. Warner said.
"And that goes for
everyone, from conservative to liberal."
